SCULLING

NEXT CHAMPIONSHIP. THE WAIKATO COURSE. (Per Press Association.) HAMILTON, January 6. A committee of rowing enthusiasts has been formed in Hamilton with the object of makinr inquiry into the possibilities of securing the next race for the world’s sculling title for the "VVnikato River, where a suitable champion ship course is available, within easy access of. both Auckland and Hamilton. AJSNST DECLINES TO RACE AGAIN. (Special to the ei Star.”) Arnst was approached this morning by supporters who offered to put up half the stake money if he would row Hadfield again. Arnst replied that he was done with the game, as participant in such races. He recognised it was time for him to retire after making such an exhibition as he did yesterday, on top of the splendid form he had shown in some of his trials which proved him to be as good as ever. The only explanation of his poor showing is that he had gone dead 9tale. Hannan, who claims to he entitled to the next race with Hadfield, has already half his stake money in hand, and is hopeful of raising the balance within a few days, in which case he must, according to the rules, get first chance.
