Preparations are complete for the FeltonBarry race on the Parramatta River on Saturday. The race is timed to start at 3.30. The course is three and a-quarter miles in length. Both men have under- ‘ gone a thorough course of training, and though little information is available regarding the actual trials, supporters of both men declare that they are satisfied with the condition and work of the rowers. The champion and ox-champion alike declare themselves fit and competent. Felton and Barry went through a fast trial over the full course. The latter performed brilliantly over the first mile, rowing like a champion, and giving the best exhibition since the scullers commenced training. Felton’s performance was not so brilliant.
