Sculling Champions.

FELTON AND YOUNG KEMP. Wellington, December 4. Our representative interviewed Felton and Kemp after the race, anc the rubbing down process afforded an excellent opportunity of noticing the magnificent physique of young Felton. Though only 21 years of age he has the development of a much more matured man, standing 6ft lin and weighing 13st. The figure of this young sculler is a splendid study of the almost perfect male form. Felton is a native ol ! Sydney and is a total abstainer and non-smoker. He only started scull« ing fifteen months ago, and his phenomenal progress is due largely to Peter Kemp’s tuition, Kemp, the second man to finish tosday, is a son of the ex-champion of the world, and is 25 years old and weighs list 31b. He started paddling about in boats of all kinds from the age oi ! 12, and at 17 started sculling in big races- Most of the competitors in this match are staying in New land to attend the big Wanganui Carnival next month. The interval will be spent in active training, and the finishing touches put on should result in even better performances than were put up at Foxton.
