There is nothing new to report concerning tlie sculling championship. Both men are actively 7 continuing their usual training operations. “Victor,” in tho Herald 3 discusses the chances of the contestants, and sa.vs: “I do nOt think Dick Tresidder will return to Australia with the . Championship of the world. In build, tho Newcastle man looks like a champion, especially when seen stripped, as he lias stout arms and legs, and a powerful back. Seen on tho river he does not fill the eye well as far as stylo goes. He does not swing his body 7 with I,he sculls, but keeps an almost straight back, and is faulty with the right arm. There is a stiffness about his movements, which is in marked contrast to the style shown by Webb, who uses his arms, legs, slide, and body much more scientifically than does Tresidder. There is no getting away from the fact that Dick drives his boat along, and that he will row a hard, game race .right to tho. finish is beyond doubt. In my opinion he lacks the brilliancy of Webb, who can stay as well as Dick or any other man who ever sat in a boat, and "that extra dash will, I firmly believe, givo the Wanganui man the advantage. There ought to be a hard struggle, which will probably end in a win for Webb. The latter has tho advantage of being nine years ymunger, ‘2B against. 37. Even if all things were ecpial —tlia't is to say if Tresidder had as much science as Webb —I fancy youth would bo served, or as Stanbury put it after bis defeat by Webb. ‘Age must bow to youth.’ ”

VISITORS FROM AUSTRALIA. WEBB’S BACKERS CONFIDENT. Press Association. WANGANUI, Feb. 20. A number of Australian visitors arrived in town to-day to witness the World’s Sculling Championship on Tuesday. Included in the party are Messrs. Harkins and Cameron, chairman and secretary respectively of the Tresidder Fund, two Australian pressmen, and a brother of Tresidder. Chris Neilson is expected on Monday. Webb had only one spin to-day, and in the morning indulged lu a long walk and hill-climbing, and in the afternoon he rowed seven miles, linishj.jcr up very strongly. The champion is In nerfect health, and now scales 11st 2fb. His friends are absolutely confident that ho will pass the winning post first. . Tresidder went over two miles twice to-day. He is in fine fettle, and will without doubt put up a good performance.
