TO-MORROW'S SCULLING RACE. LATEST FROM SCENE OF ACTION.
NOTES AND JOTTINGS. [Bt Telegeaph. — SreciAi to The Post.] WANGANUI, This Day. Yesterday "Webb and Tresiddcr had a fr.irly quiet time on the river. The New Zealander went over the course with Green, and received thunders of approbation from excursion launches. Wanganui has the blues! but not tho dismal kind. Pale blue — Webb's colours — glints from shops, coat lapels, and girls' blouses. Tresidder's supporters nra still very sanguine, but at least one Australian critic remarked to-day that ~ho was not hopeful. He saw the challenger yesterday. "Tresidder's an old man," he said. Still, local enthusiasts are not prepared to represent their confideneo in long odds. The talk is of evens. This morning tire pressmen had to resort to a process which they despise — deputationising. They interviewed Mr. Tuck, to urge him to allow space on the umpire's boat, and they won after an interesting argument. Webb's boat has been Christened "Herewai," which, roughly, means "New Zealand against the wide, wide jrorld."
