SCULLING.

THE WORLD'S CHAMPIONSHIP. The rnce for the sculling champ'onship of tln> world between Ernest Barry and Jim Paddon. is to be rowed after all (says a Sydney paper of August 26). The event is to be rowed on Monday next, and the interest- manifested in it is considerable. Tho smiling and genual aquat : o community will await tho resjj'.t with as much -impatience and expectancy as ever. The gate, as c-an onLy be expected, must be a record in point of smalluess. and there is 110 doubt that the race would have been postponed had not Paddon been an Australian with but a limited time at his d'sposal. It is mcst unfortunate for Paddon, since the race' promises to bo 0110 cf exceptional sternness, and in ordinary t'lmes should

have cqua'.'od or eclipsed any other race in as drawing power. It is the fortune of war, however. All the -ilojr ;«uu. v.--. liavo at this distance is that- the race will bo a stubbornly fought ; ;id strenuous one. PEAPvCK AND I" ELTON.
