; ' CURRENT WANGANUI KUMOUK. t (By • Telegraph.—Special Correspondent.) r Wanganui, August 13. ■ Rumours have lately been in circula- ; tion that the friends of Win. Webb, ex--5 champion stuller, intended to match him l against Ernest Barry -for tho world's . championship. Inquiries, however, show L that., though tho matter has certainly . been talked over by Webb's party, no- . thing of a defini'jo nature has been Settled. At the same time it would not bo snr- [' prising if au announcement were made' that Dame Rumour has proved correct. [ Webb has been keeping himself fit, and I has also kept up his sculling form, and ; it is stated by .those iu a ' position to , know that ho is just as good as ever he ■ was. ' Ono thing may bo stated with certainty, viz., that had Arnst won the recent match against Barry ho would . luivo received a challongo for- another , raco with tho Wanganui sculler.
