ARNST IN AUSTRALIA.

GOING ON THE LAND. A Frem|ijtle miTsMge' §F 3 <sTOer ; jj£)th states jfthat among the"pasaengeyy 'bound for Sydney on Board 1 W#'R.M?S'.Mannora, (which' 'passed Freirt'a.ntl'e'' on the date named 'wa's Dick Arnst. 'When ' interviewed in .regard to his'face,' he'' .'said he had no'excuses" to' offer for his defe-at. '"'-'Barry was undolibtedly the better man. When he had previously said that the Englishman had given him the hardest race of'his life .on the Zambesi, there were many people who did not believe him, but thought he was dealing out the usual sop politeness to a defeated opponent. Now they might believe what he had said. Barry was a fine sculler, and had won purely on his merits, although he did think that ho was more used to the rough water of the Thames than he (Arnst) was. He had decided to give up professional sculling, and purposed going on the land somewhere in New South Wales. Sculling and the training it involved was very hard work, and it would have to be a very big financial inducement that would make him alter his determination. He said he would not like to express an opinion' as to the chance that Pearce would have against Barry. Although he (Arnst) was not successful in the sculling event, he was remarkably fortunate when pigeon shooting on the Continent. Ho said he won many prizes, among them being a 3000 francs handicap in France.
