SCULLING CHAMPIONSHIP.
NO RACE WITH HANNAN. [BY TELEGRAPH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.] WANGANUI. Friday. Hannan's declaration that he would not ro'.v James Paddon unless the title of the world's sculling championship was involved as one of the plums of the race evidently ended the matter, as the Australian has made the following pronouncement : "If Hannan wants the title he will have to go over to Australia to row for it. I won the title for Australia and anyone wanting to race for it will have to meet me on either the Richmond or the C'arence Rivers. I was fully prepared to row Hannan for anything from £200 to £500 aside on tho Wanganui River, but the match would have to be fixed for an early date as I must return to Australia as soon as possible. In any case, Amst's challenge for the championship was in first and his deposit has been covered, so that he will have the first race against me for the title." Paddon is arranging to return to Sydney by the Ulimaroa, which leaves on Thursday next. Great interest is now being centred in the sculling race to-morrow afternoon between J. Casey (Australia) and Archie Sharpe (Wanganui).
