THE CHAMPION SCULLER

READY FOR ALL-COMERS. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Reecived 13, 5.5 p.m. Hobart, November 13. Dick Arnst was entertained by the Rowing Association. Interviewed, he said the race against Barry was the hardest race he had ever put up. He got three lengths start at the jump, and it was that which secured the victory. Barry came later, and he had to pull for all he was worth. The Zambesi was too shallow, and the air too dry and hard. In reference to Durnan's offer, he told him he was perfectly willing to row, but certain expenses must be found. Durnan had not replied. He was prepared to defend the championship in any part of the world, provided expenses were forthcoming. He intended participating in the £2OO handicap at Sydney if it were rowed on Boxing Day, and in that case he would 50 straight to Sydney. If the race were not rowed till January, he would proceed to New Zealand by the Ruapehu. South Africa, he said, is a grand country, and he intends settling there utlimately.
