SCULLING.
TO-MORROW’S RACE. [BY TELEGRAPH—PER PRESS ASSOCIATION | WANGANUI. Jan. 3. Arnst and Hadfield have done solid work during the week-end, Hadfield confined himself more to hursts over a mile, though lie covered the full course at a good solid pace. Arnst continues to do the full distance twice daily, at a pace v. liich seems mechanically set. He does not vary in the slightest. So far as one can surmise, he carries a watch in the Boat and uses it as a pacemaker.
Serious training operations for the world's sculling championship were brought to a close, this afternoon. Arnst covered two and a half miles very strongly. He stopped for a few seconds fitter covering a mile, in order to avoid a floating log and then went on at a solid pace and finished really well.
Hadfield also did two and a half miles, but confined himself to leisurely rowing. He is pronounced to be in tip-top condition. To-morrow he will be taken into the country by his supporters for a motor drive. Hadfield will row at about 12st Gibs, and Arnst at 13st 91bs. Both parties are very confident and if both men are fit and well, a herculean struggle is assured.
