SCULLING CHAMPIONSHIP

HOW BARRY BEAT ARNST. Pr«si Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. SYDNEY. August 28. (Received August 28, at 10.5 a.m.) The 1/onckiu (special correspondent of the ‘Herald' describee the Barry-Arnst race as a magn'fr’cnt strinrcle. There was never any doubt that Barry is the more finished oarsman, and »fi it happened, the day of the contest was one on which p. mail with skill, finish, and neatness had all the advantage, 'live opinion of judges is that Arnst was not up to*the form lie showed in tho Zambezi race. Their belief is that the sud(leimeca with, which ho reduced his weight was too great a strain, and the result makes one doubt very much if Artist will ever scull for the ‘championship again. vSome of his friends and backers appear to take it for granted that he will make an attempt to regain the left honor, but one’s personal opinion is that he meant it when be tobl an int ei-vicwer ; " 1 may give up sculling. It is terribly hard work.” IT:; will think the matter over during the holiday he is taking at Boulogne. The London correspondent of the ‘ Tele, graph’ ea vs that Arnst was not at his best. The water was had for both, hut. worse for Arnst. 'the Englishman had the worst Ml the course for three-quarters or the way. and gave away more «ian a stone and n half in weight- From every print of view except physical strength he is a hotter sculler than Arnst.
