ROWING.

A MEETING OF THE "GREAT ONES." (By Mercury.). Everything is now in train for tho world's championship race between Arnst and Pearce in July. Of the movements of the since the signing of articles 11 recent "Daily Telegraph" says: "So as net to lose any time at all, Arnst started work on the Parramatta on Mouday afternoon. He was out in his boat, and proceeded to take on long, steady rows over the course. He will keep to this class of work for a couple of weeks till he feels himself getting stronger; then he will make a start with sprint work. So far he is feeling all right, and there is no indication of a return of his recent trouble. "Pearce, for his part, is taking equally good care of himself. He was in splendid form for Kemp, and so as not to run the risk of going stale ho is going away on Saturday next to Bathurst for a week, in order' to put on a little weight aeain before he gets down to solid graft. He will do a couple of row 3 before he goes, just to keep his hand in. After ho comes back from the country he will get down to work, and will train then till a couple of days before the race." Speaking to a representative of "Tho Daily Telegraph" yesterday, Pearca said he never felt better in his career, and looked forward to giving Arnst the race of his life. His health was perfectly s.ound, his strength was more pronounced than ever, and his sculling had never been more dashing. Considering all things, he thought that he could establish himself ns world's champion when ho met Arnst. The physique of the two men could not be better compared or described than by repeating the words of one of the sneakers at the meeting of tho scullers on Wednesday last. They, wore, tho speaker said, two athletes of giant 'proportions, so well matched that it would be a pity if such exponents of sculling should from meeting. The prowess of both was well known to tho world, and a race between them now would be a sensation by itself. This is the best description that could be given to tho men, and their meeting should surely be conducive to as much excitement and speculation as ever there was in connection with aiiy sport. It may bo as well to explain tliat July 15, although agreed to by both scullers, has not definitely been fixed as the date for the rowing of the race.
