ROWING.

(Received 8.50 a.m.) London, July 7. Paddon, although wearing a bandage on his right wrist, has completely recovered from the accident. • He is now rowing twice daily, and is massaged after each row. He maintained his condition by using the running track, and is now within 71bs of his rowing weight. English critics consider he is rowing with better length than any colonial who met Barry on the Thames. Barry's weight is list 131bs. The Sportsman says of the Henley regatta: The results show that something is lacking in English rowing. The crews do not train sufficiently, and their style can apparently be improved. English oarsmen swing too far back and neglect their hands and wrists, while the recovery is unsteady."
