The "Daily Mail" has mado some severe comments on the published account of tho interview in Sydney with Mr. Middleton, coach of tho Australian Olympic rowing crow, in which he claimed that tht> Stockholm course aicD*) l>eat tho Australians in their raco with the Lenader crew Tho "Daily Mail" says Mr. Middlcton's attack was petulant and lacking in sportsmanship. The Leandcr Club has always stood for the best in amateur sport, and docs not need au apology. Tho difforcr.co between tho Australian and Leaudor crows' stations in tho, race at Stockholm was only three or four inches, ami it is ungenerous to say that tho Leander crew refused tho "Daily Mail's" suggestion for another race because they feared defeat. It wns impossible for Uio I/oandcrs to afford the time for another race. 'Clio "Daily Mail" points out that the Loander crow also rowed' two races on the final day. Thn "Pall Mall Gazette" says that Mr Middlelon'a attack is as ridiculous as it is remarkable.
