' HE MET A SiTTER MAN. (Received October 16, 10.15 ft.m.) MELBOURNE, This Day. R. Arnst, the ex-champion •culler, has arrived here. In the course of an interview, he said he weighed over 16st> when he reached London, on 2?th April last, although he had not been idle on shipboard. He started training immediately, and got down to 13st 61b after ten weeks hard work. Within two weeks of the race, he found himself, after * general midday meal, suffering from pains and vomiting, followed by dysentery. When he shook this off he was weak, ahd lost weight. H« began to improve as the day of the race approached. A preliminary spin on that day was satisfactory, though not equal to his beet. Soon after the start he found that Barry on the Thames was different from. Barry on the Zambesi. He wa« satisfied he had met a better man, and had no excuses to offer. He intends settling on a sheep farm in Queensland.
