SCULLING.
BARRY WANTS TO MEET AKNST. PRESS VIEWS. By Electric Telegraph—Copyright United Press Association. London, September 12. Barry, interviewed, attributed hh victory to his body swing. Ho added that lie was prepared to meet Arnst on the Thames, if financially supported. The newspapers generally regard the race as a triumph for the English style, Barry’s long, well-swung body beating the challenger’s quick armful short strokes, unless for long distances. “The Times” declares that Arnst asks £750 expenses, but he would hope to be content with considerably less if ho really desires to come to Eng land. The “Sporting Life” says that Barn on the Thames, and Barry on strange water are two different men. Barn has been promised £SOO stake monoj for a match with Arnst, but anothei £7OO is required. It suggests that the public should subscribe the am mint. The “Sportsman” states that Barry undoubtedly did not show hh best form on the Zambesi.
