THE SCULLING CHAMPIONSHIP.

ARNST’S LAST WORD. Concerning the challenge by Ernest Barry for a match to be rowed on tho Thame?, Dick Amst said last week that as the challenge stood at present he was not going to waste money m replying. The conditions under which ho was originally to row were known. They were that he was to get £750 expenses. Ha had learned since that either Barry or soma friends of Barry’s had said that if he (Arnst) was particularly anxious to row he would have to be satisfied with legs than £750 and expenses. “ You can tell Barry from me now.” added Arnst, “ that I have changed my mind, and that my terms are £I,OOO expenses if he wishes rne to go to the Thames. Since my race with Pearce 1 have been engaged in a fairly remunerative occupation in Sydney, and I don’t feel disposed to throw it up and go to England to please him. I went to South Africa to meet his convenience because I had no other engagement which would suffer by my leaving. It is quite different now. I am” champion, and it Barry desires another race for the title he must come to the Parramatta. If Barry cares to come out hero I will allow him fair expenses, bub nothing very large.” A national fund Inis been started in England to raise funds for Barry to row Arnst for the championship of the world on the Thames.
