"Barry stated that Arnst's sportemuulike letter' appealed to him, and he intended replying "in equally cordial terms. Air. Blacksfnft'e said he had read the letter with considerable pleasure. . "Do yon think it will be possible to get a-second race on the Thames?" be was asked. • ■ ■. .. "I do not see why the men should '"not-meet twice. There would bo certain backing for i'soo for Barry in England, perhaps more," said Mr. BJackstaffe. "But if he was beaten in "the Zambesi race?" .■**.■ ' • "That would make no difference whatever. The rowing conditions of tho Zambesi and the Thames must not be compared. .The character of the water is quite different. Personally, I should like to see them race on the Thames."
