SCULLING.

THE STANBURY-WEBB MATCH. BY "VICTOR." Wi Webb left by yesterday's mail train for Wellington, en route for the Christchurch Exhibition, to supervise the plac* ing id position there oi the Wanganui Spiral Pipe Company's exhibit of pipeb. Webb will be away a week or ten days. He will probably have a few roWw in the Lyt» telton Harbour while in the South. As showing the keen interest being taken in the forthcoming race in outside centres, I may mention that the secretary (Mr W. S. Corby) of the SUnbury-N ebb committee received the iollowing telegram this morning: — "Lyttelton, October 18. — Expect £o for the Webb-Staubury fund. — C. Hollis." This shows a real good sporting spirit ort the part of Mr Hollis and the Lyttelton people, who evidently recognise that this match is a colonial more than a local affair, and arc anxious to assist in raising the funds for a contest which should do more towards promoting and encouraging the sport of rowing than anything of the kind that has ever -taken place in New Zealand.
