"THE PARRAMATTA HUNDRED.". Entries for the "Parramatta Hundred" sculling handicap, to be rowed on the Parramatta River on April 30 and May 7, close next. Saturday. Arnst has cablect approving of the conditions of the race, and stating that lie leaves New Zealand for Sydney on April 8, to take part in tho handicap. Ho will bo accompanied by J. J. Arnst, Alf. Felton, and Harry Floyd. Mr. William Beach, ex-champion of the world, has consented to umpire the race in the Parramatta Hundred contest, on April 30 and May 7. An additional attraction in tho big handicap will be Jack Arnst, the champion's brother, and well-known as a cyclist. Jack Arnst has been with Dick now for some considerable time, and ho is. not a novice with, sculls. He trained Dick for his last race with Webb, and for his match with Whelch. Jack, like his brother, ther, is a big powerful fellow, and is a very'good sculler. He has learnt a lot from tho champion, and should open the eyes of a good many of the Sydney scullers. He is also to accompany the champion to South Africa, and it is qujte possible that before long he'will be aspiring to championship honours himself.
