ARNST=BARRY RACE.

i SOME OPINIONS. By Telceraph-Prees Association-Copyrijrhl Sydney, August 28. Tho "Herald's" London special correspondent describes the liarry-Arnst race for the sculling championship of the world as a magnificent struggle. There was never any doubt as to the result. "Barry is the more finished nnrsmnu, and us it happened tho day was one im which n man with skill, finish, and neatness had all the advantage. The opinion of'judges was that Arnst was not up to the form ho showed in the Zambesi race. The belief is that tho suddenness with which he. reduced his weight proved too great a strain, and the result makes one doubt very much if Arnst will ever scull for the championship again. Some friends and backers appear to take, it for granted that he will make au attempt to regain it, but. one's personal opinion is that ho meant it when he told an interviewer: 'I' may givo tip sculling , . It is terribly hard work.' He will think the matter over during the holiday he is taking at Boulogne." BAERY THE BETTER SCULLER. Sydney, August 28. The "Daily Telegraph's" London correspondent says:—"Arnst was'not at his best. Tho water was bad for both, but was worse for tho Englishman, who had the worst course for three-quarters of the way, and gave away more than a stone and a half in weight. From every point of view except physical strength, he is a better sculler than Arnst."
