WORLD TITLE.
THE SCULLING FIXTURE.
RIVALS IN TRAINING,
(Received 1.25 p.m.)
SYDNEY, This Day.
Latest reports state that Paddon and Felton are busy preparing for the world championship sculling race for £500 aside on the Brisbane River on August .12.
Paddon writes that he has not had so much time to train as he could have desired. He did not settle down to solid work till lie went to Brisbane three weeks ago, and then for a week he was hindered by wet weather. At present he is 71b over weight, but he expects to be fit on the day of the race. Felton, who is being trained by McDevitt, was reported to be at the top of his form during the past week, but as there was a prospect of overpreparation, he has now eased off somewhat.
The contest will mark the first occasion tljat a world's championship has been rowed on the Brisbane River. —A. and N.Z.
