The Rowing Championship

(Per Press Association.) ; December 7. On Saturday afternoon both Arilst and Webb put in some good rowing. Webb i.ave Green (his pacemaker) a fairly good start in a two-mile spin and, though tlio latter rowed particularly well, the 'champion got very close to him at tho finish. Starting off at a 26-27 rale, Webb drovo his skiff along in splendid sityle, and Inn oaeo was satisfactory all tho way. Yesterday afternon both men wore again afloat. Starling at 24 to the minute, Webb gradually drew ahead and when a quarter of a. mile from the finishing post quickened up considerably, sinking 26, and finished at a fust bat, apparently without having turned a hair. Arnst and Fogwell were out twice, covering tho full courso both morning and afternoon, The morning row was of the usual stoady order, but in the afternoon a largo number who watched the men were much impressed with the ease and confidence with which Arnst drovo his skill' through n steamer's wash, which proves that lie is a much better waterman than soma wore inclined to think. Arnst is down to 13st lib, but expects to row 13st 31b. Thuro is some talk of a double sculling race between Arnst and Fogwcll and Webb and Green. It is understood that the friondn of the former are willing to back them auainst the local combination, who did well together as amateurs.
