ARNST-BARRY RACE
FINE STRUGGLE EXPECTED. LONDON, July 28. Interest in what promises to be the finest race seen in England for a quarter of a century is quickening. The critics are agreed that Barry is in excellent form, and the easiness of his action even while exerting his utmost powers conserves his energy to a wonderful degree.
Arnst’s immense strength, pace, and superb stamina have greatly impressed every judge.
One critic remarks; “ Were Arnst fil and well there would be a distinct inclination to plump for him; but there is just the question whether in a strange and variable climate he can with impunity shed forty-two pounds in three months. This, coupled with his recent indisposition, suggests the possibility of a strain affecting him. Nevertheless, Arnst is showing such form that Barry’s task is exceedingly difficult.”
