SCULLING CHAMPIONSHIP

FOGWELL FASTER IN TRIAL.

Commenting upon tho form of the aspirants for the New Zoaland sculling championship, "Tingle" writes in tho "Marlborough Express":— There was a very large gathering of spectators at tho Wairau Rowing dub's boat sheds on Sunday morning to sec tho scmlloi's in. action. Hannan was tho first to take the wator, and after tho camera man had taken a snap or two, the sculler sped away to the starting-point for a solid row over the full course. Timed from the instant he came into sight down stream until ho rounded the top bend, Hannan was rowing 26 strokes to the B minute, and the stretch of over n mile' was covered in Sinin. lOsec. lie was sculling really well, and used his legs and shoulders to advantage. . On leaving tho sheds, Fogwolil got going quickly, and was soon out of sight round the bottom bend on his way to tho start-ing-point. Timed -on reappearing, ho waß found to bo doing M to 25 strokes to the •minute, but his time over tho stretch was quite ien seconds faster than Hannan's. Ho was rowing o beautiful length, with a machine-like precision, and his boat showed a lot of pace between tho Hannan is rigged much lower than Fogwell, and his boat has considerably less fieeboartl than tho Sydney'man's craft, tho difference being accounted for by the fact 'that Fogwell's boat- was specially built for tho rough waters of the Thames, whilst Hanmin's shall was dralgnod for tho smooth water usually to bo had on Australian courses.

bote men very ttt. Sy T»l«iraDh—Pr«ss Association. Blenlioim, November 17. Tho contestants have practically finished irnining operations to-day The rest of Uio woek will bo devoted to easy work.
