SCULLING CHAMPIONSHIPS.

THE WEBB-TRESIDDER MATCH. AN ARNST-FORD~MATCH MOOTED. The conrtibutor of sculling notes to the Wanganui Herald reports that on Tuesday Webb and Green did a long row, almost up to Kennedy's, when Webb had the misfortune to knock a small hole in his new Neiieon boat through striking a bit of floating wood. The* hole Hs amidships, but it is not a largo o'nc, and ifc is expected, that it can be repaired without affecting^ the efficiency^ of the boat. Tresidder took ' a spell on Sunday, which put his weight up' a pound or, two, but ha can stand any amount of work, and it should give him no trouble to take off tho superfluous' flesh. Webb having becoma Champion of . the World on 3rd Aiiftist ' last, the' championship of New Zealand is now vacant, nnd remarks havo bo?n mado on the possibility of a match being madeJ for thab title. It is said that Dick Arn3t may challenge Fred Ford' (Tresidder! s pacer) for the .championship of Now Zealand ' -and ' £100 * aside, What thoro is in jit' tho.'Herald's contri--; butoris not prepared to say, but he' leans to the opinion that it is only Dame Rumour who is responsible for tho report. H« adds that it is freely stated that tho decision of ths next Amateur! • Championship at Napier may ;bo' fol-' lowed by the entry of one or 'two men, into the professional ranks. > [
