WHERE WEBB FAILS.

COMPETITORS' STYLES COMPARED. A note in Tub Dominion last week etated that Wobb does not make use of his legs to tho Eamo extent as Arast This fault was noticeable in to-day's i;ace, and would, I believe, account in a great measure for the difference between tho two boats at the end of the journey. Ibis afternoon, when nearing tho end of his stroke, Amst, by the clever uso of his slide, is ablo to throw so much power into his legs that ho gives his boat an impetus. That lasts until tho next catch",' and subsequent pull. Webb, .on the other hand, appears to rely solely on his arms from the beginning u> the. end,. of tho' stroke, ... andtho action of his legs is cramped and restricted compaied to tho free uso Arnst makes of his. The result of this defect in Webb is that ho loses a 'little between each

stroke, which Arnsfc does ndt, though the latter,is.not'.tli'e.prettier sculler of the two. Arnst bunches up •at the end of his' slide when he is at,the catch,:.and with .rounded back grabs for as niucli'water as' his. blado will'hold. ■ As he gets back ho straightens up .when the blade is opposite his body,- then wnen'tlio stroke 'is a foot from cxbaustwi ho leans 'back and exerts hia legs 'for a, final ■kick;; He is ungraooful, butwondorfully-'cr-fective. Webb Ms almost a stiaight;baokat tho catch,, and docs, not open" his arms •or,legs 'So. wide 'as does Arnst., .Ho I .exerciser ■his. full pavers in;■getting; bis 'blado tlirough the water.'but removes it placidlj - , without a jorlfi' wdftebxra^^orij!ctb;^back'.to l ihe_catpli..
