SCULLING.

BARRY SHOWS HIS PACE.

LONDON, April 22. On Saturday, Barry, the English champion, took his daily exercise unaccompanied, owing to the fact that his trainer, Tom Sullivan, had not a companion for the doublesculler. On Monday Barry was afloat in the new boat which was damaged a few days previously. Sullivan was. accompanied in the double by Ned Brewer, who is thought likely to succeed Dan Cordery for the practice on tidal waters. The party went- up against the ebb to Hammersmith, bridge, swinging round opposite Jack Biff en's raft. Barry broke away smartly on the return journey, and Plielps, who was waiting for him at the Crab Tree, started a length ahead*. When almost level with the Thames boathouse, Tom Sullivan told Barry to "go" for Phelps, and many eyes were intently fixed on the two scullers. Barry gradually lessened the dividing line, and when "easy" was called: opposite the London headquarters he had taken a slight lead. The colours, which will shortly be on sale in aid of Barry?s fund, will take the form, as on previous occasions, of a large silk handkerchief, and will make an excellent memento of the 1910 world's championship. la the centre is a very good photo of Barry, with the inscription "Champion of England, Sculling Championisbip of the World, Zambesi River. Rhodesia, August, 1910." In eacli corner is a flag representing the nationality of previous world's champion—New Zealand, Canada, U.S.A., and Australia. The Vesta Rowing Club colours are) above BatryVphoto —he has done all his training" from the Vesta boathouse —and on either side there is a Rhodesian flag and a Uinon Jack. The work is executed with great skill.
