SCULLING.

ARNST v. BARRY. "A GLUTTON FOR WORK." By Cable—Press As»oei»tion—Copyright. London, July 24. The Port of London Authority hes arranged for four boats to follow the. lArnst-Bari'v race. The Hon. Rupert Guinness will present the stakes to the winner. At Putney a feature of Arnst's training is the prolonged massage with oils. Barry's training has been harder than for any previous race. The fact of the championship being contested by an English-born sculler, for the first time since Sadler, is heightening public interest. Arnst is a glutton for work. One critic describes him as relying more 'on strength than science, but as the [late part of his stroke is made almost .entirely with his arms, his style re'quires extraordinary strength to withstand the strain over the whole course, especially if the water is rough. Barry with machine-like precision and has mastered the most important details 'of respiration. He can do a lot of work : before his energy is exhausted, and his prospects are good.

ARNST'S CONDITION. Received 25, 9.30 p.m. London, July 25. Arnst has finished his hard sculling, and is contented with occasional spurts. He admits that he has trained harder than for any previous contest.
