BARRY AND ARNST.

' REPORTED MATCH IN ENGLAND. A cable message published- - yesterday states that Barry, the English -'oarsman, had .-stated, in the course of auj interview given to. a, representative of the,"Sports--.man," that ho; and, Arnst would row another race in England next '• summer. Seen yesterday Arnst stated that, he knew of no definite fixture with-Barry. Before the latter left the. Zambesi, two-days after the race,'hejjegged.Arnst to'jgive him another race on the Thames, and Arnst replied that he would put nothing in his way so long as his full expenses were guaranteed. Arnst says that .no' sum was mentioned at. that time, but, subsequent-, ly, he wrote stating that his Expenses would run into ,£soo—an amount to cover two return fares . to s England (first-class) for himself and'trainer, and'sufficient'to maintain them both for eight or ten weeks in England .prior to the,race. . If Barry had-secured, backers-to put up the JBIOOQ. necessary; (ifiSOO expenses' and .£500; stake), the cablegram was easily understood, but, if that were so, Arnst thinks that. :he would liaye been, communicated with at once. - ' ' Arnst is not acting arbitrarily in tlis matter. , It must bo remembered that the rules governing the championship gives the holder the; right to nominate where the race shall be rowed, and by going, half round tho world lie. would be risk-,. ' ing a deal more than his backers' £500 if ' lie undertook to .go without a guarantee for expenses. " 1 ' ' | Arnst intends to leave for Sydney on, ; , Friday next." Further than that his 1 movements are uncertain. . ■ ; PEARCE LEAVES FOR "THE FRONT."' Harry Pearce,, who is to row; Webb, of Wanganui,. on Boxing Day, left' for ' the ■ river port by yesterday morning's train. - ! He was accompanied by William Fog- : well (trainer and' pacer), and Charles. l Lyons (manager)., Pearce has exactly a i month to get into form, but as he is a • man that is always in fair fettle the. training will not come, hard- on him.
