ROWING.
Dick Arnst has received a cable from Jim Field, agreeing to act for him in the negotiatons for a race with Ernest Barry. Field asks him to send £IOO deposit. Another cable from Durnan asks Arnst to state terms for a match, "no boat money." Arnst interprets this to mean that Durnan's backers want to offer him a fixed sum to row on Lake Toronto, the backers taking all the proceeds from steamers viewing the race. Arnst states that if Durnan wants him to stand out of a half share of the gate he wants £SOO for expenses, and a race for £SOO a-side. If these terms are agreed to, the race will have to stand over till September, afcer Arnst has met Barry.
