Artist for his match against Webb at Wangamii for the eeiilling championship of iho world. "As the time for the sculling event on December 15 draws closer." writes a Wanganui corespondent to the Post, "one can notice more determination being shown by the scullers. When Airsfc is om 0:1 t.luriver «uo cannot help thinking what a hard task it, is going to be to pick the winner. Anist lo:>ks so fit and well thai lie must have a big chancy of being the champion cf the world. It is a treat to see (lie oasy way lie sends his shell along with such a free stroke. He sculls a very long stroke, and I believe he has a longer reach than Wobh. Fogwell, his will accompany him out on the river now. so it will be possible to form a better opinion later on of what the footwork will be like. Webb goes' out every or-hn- day. ITis morning work consists of a long scull of about seven miles. Then in the afternoon he does short, sprints only. 1 no!ice lie is sculling a little short, and does net quite finish bis stroke: but as time goes on no doubt he will improve. The .amateur sculler Green will pacc Webb, and they are together once a. v.eok now, bill will i 1 be out more often scon." V .
