THE SCULLING TITLE
HADFIELD AND PADDON
CHAMPION WELCOMES RACE
A letter lias been received at Wanganui from J. Paddon, sculling cliampion of the world, expressing liis pleasure 11•-ftt- the people of'Wanganui had decide i to give Darcy Hadfield another chance to contest tile championship “because lie deserved it.’~ Fcrsnoally, he would have been pleased if lie were going to Wanganui to race instead of over there, as he had had such a splendid time when He came over and won the championship. Paddon says that rowing is booming now and several matches were to be rowed off shortly.
A good many'people in New Zealand have been curious as to what Arnst has •been doing in Australia. The answer has been supplied bv Paddon in his letter when lie says that the ex-champion liar been training hard in anticipation of another race. Paddon, however, was vd eased that Hadfield had anticipated him. When lie reaches Sydney, Hadfield will be taken in band by George Towns, who will act as coach to the exchampion. Tt is still hoped that Paddon will consent to row'on the Paramatta, but from, the tone of his letter this appears to be hardly likely.
