Wk (" Sydney Herald") have great pleasure iv announcing that arrangements have at length been entered into for Edward Trickett and Edward llaulon, the Canadian celebrity, to meet and try conclusions for that much coveted distinction the sculling championship of the world. The agreement was completed by cable, and the match will be rowed on the Thames in November. Trickett has made up his mind to proceed to England at ouce. He informs us that the amount of stakes will be £200 a-sidc. The time of the year when the match will be rowed will be, if anything, against Trickett, on accouut of the cola weather, and in favour of tho Canadian, who hails from a cold climate; but tho champiou thinks nothing of this.
