He told a reporter that Arnst, just before leaving Christchureh to go oil hoard the Moeraki oil his way to Australia, stated that he was looking forward to the best trip of his life, and was in high spirits at the prospects before him. Arnst will leave Australia in the Medic in Mfly, and will go to Capetown. From there lie will take train to Bnlawayo, which is the centre of sport in that part of South Africa. He will then continue his journey to Livingstone, which is on the Zambesi at the Zambesi Falls. There he will probably go into camp witn Floyd, who 'will he his trainer, supervisor and manager. A rust's other supporters, Mr J. H. Parker, Mr ft. 11. Rhodes, M.P., and Mr J. K. nuchana.il, have .as much confidence in Floyd's fitness for the position as Dr r I hacker has. Jack Arnst will ho the champion's pacer and assistant trainer. Dr Thacker has made many enquiries in regard to the course on which the race will he rowed.

There arc no crocodiles in the part of the river which will be used for the race, so th.it even il the New Zealandei experiences a few capsizes lie is not likely to make food for these reptiles.

Tn anv case Arnst will be under medical supervision all .the time, mid dl kinds ■>f precautions will be taken to preserve him from mo.'-quitos mid otliT dangers that nmv h"'S"U his chalices ill' winning against Harry.
