SCULLING CHAMPIONSHIP.
THE TRESIDDER-WEBB MATCH. It is now only four weeks till the race for the championship of the world. , Both Tre&idder and Webb arc easy to train — so much so, that the gentlest hint from their respective mentors meets with immediate response, says the Chronicle. For instance, Tresidder is called at 6 in the morning, and then, he (together with Bain and Ford) indulges in a long wall;. After that, and a slight rest, he steps into his boat, puts in a spin of come six to eight miles, comes back to WVi.C. shed, a plunge in the river, a shower, a systematic rabdown, and then lunch. Then another walk, and again on tie water in the afternoon, with a walk to follow. A slight lcct and ten. TLen home more pedestrian exercise, and at 9 p.m., bed. This searching preparation during tho last day or two has had the effect of slightly reducing his ..weight, and his supporters will be interested to learn that he was never better in his life Ikm at the present time. ' With regard to Webb, the same may be remarked as to his. training. Clean sweeping strokes characterise the motion of Webb's ekiff through the water. His style , has considerably Improved, and, moreover, he is in the best of condition. Webb's weight is just about the same, and when the eventful day arrives he will not turn the scale at much more than 11 stone. All the arrangements for the transit by rail and boat are now as complete as possible.
