(BY "AQUATIC") P. Hnminn, who is to row "\W%'/p^'), arrived by the s.s. Storm from Pictou on morning, accompanied by his brother and a Mr. H. Thompson1: He went straight away up the river to camp, as lie informed me that he likea I camp life, having lived in a tent for the last 12 months. He gays he feels well (and he looked it), and is almost down to his rowing weight, having been training far the last six months on the Wairan river. Chatting to him about ; the Australian scullers, he told me he considered Charlie Towns t!he fastest man over ' there-. He reckoned Dick Arnst will never get back into his best form'-again,-ias he is just on 4st. over his vowing weight. j Webb has settled down to serious training, doing two rows per day, and he has. secured the services of the wellknown trainee.
