[i’EU I’IiESS ASSOCIATION.] THE WELLINGTON ACCEPTANCES. WELLINGTON, This Day. The proper acceptances for the July Steeplechase arc.—Haydn, Khama, Needlework and Aquillo. SCULLING, lu a letter written from Sydney on the 12th July, by D. Harnett, trainer of Webb, the writer says:—“Wo are all in tlie best of health, and W 7 cbb is in tip-top nick, not too forward, but just ready for the final preparation. That means ho will have to do more running, besides extra fast work on the river. Towns is out morning and night with his brother, and Fogwell pacing him in a double sculler. My opinion is that, the way they arc trying to drag him along, he stands a clianro of getting stale before the race. Ho is anything hut a clean sculler. . . Webb has altered his style a hit, and it is an improvement which will make him faster. Jim Stansbnry has been over giving him plenty of sound and good points in sculling, besides showing him how to scull his boat comfortably. Ho is ever so much improved, and you will notice tlie difference when you see him rowing again. . The members of this rowing club, where we stop, cannot do enough for us, and we have everything of the best. W r obb won’t get run down; lie has a bigger eliost measurement. now (40]in), and strips at list lib. lie will row at about list.
