TRAINING NOTES, [PRESS ASSOCIATION.] WANGANUI, to-day. Tlie weather continues fine, with scarcely any wind, so that the scullers have everything in their favor for training operations. Arnst has only done light work early in the week, and subsequently had what was evidently a trial spin over the full course. The. conditions were almost perfect for good rowing, the water practically dead, but;.there was a breeze agahtet the scullers. Fogwell took a start from the challenger, making the pace for the first mile, wheh was covered in about 6.35, Arnst rowing 28 at the start, and settling down to 25 to the miifute. He continued on at a strong pace, being paced by' young Braithwaite, an amateur, over the latter half of the distance, "which was covered in good time, the big fellow rowing well all through, and finishing strongly.. The time for the full distance has not leaked out, but was apparently very satisfactory to the friends of the excyclist. Webb was also out, doing a fast burst over a mile and a-half, the first mile being. cut, out in_ little, over six minutes J, ; >, ' .Th<^hanipjbiv* -rowing in splendid stiylte, 'started' off Avith a long powerful stroke of 28 to the minute, settling .down/to a It was a very pre|ty^ Bitr <jf sefilli|igL.^ Webb fe now doing inorS fiard^rowiiig, most, c-f Jiis jvork so far in the boat being of ' slow order,.
