ARNST INTERVIEWED.
Althou ; 7h_it;wa3 apjpareiit- that JArnstheld a bit" ill hand, ov.6i' a" iair portion! of thb course" he was modest to a' degree over his victory. "I 'got;, a flight "a4yantage at' tho star?;," ho said, "but we both rowed very hard. Pearco came hard, and got p. length on mo after passing Uhr's Point. Then wo buckled in-again, and I gradually overhauled him ,and lod ■him at the mil* beacon by hsl; a length. Pearco came, at mo again and again, and made a yfery hard race of ifc, and I did not think it was over until wo reached Oladosville; then I know I. had him. He rowed a o;reat race all through. I could havo ''washed1 him after I took tho lead, but I preferro-l to win by fair means. By the way, I was in great trim, and great credit is duo to Mr Montgomery, of the Morfclake Hotel, for his attention to me. It was more like homo, and a great place to train from."
