SCULLING.

ARNST v. BARRY. I By Cable—Press I Sydney, August 28. [ The Herald's London special correI spondent describes the Barry-Arnst race las a magnificent struggle. He write*: "There was never any doubt that Barry I was the more finished oarsman, and as it happened the day was one on which the man with skill, finish, and neatness had all the advantage. The opinion of good judges was that Arnst was not up to the form he showed in the Zambesi race. It was the belief that the suddenness with which he reduced his weight was too great a strain, and the result makes one doubt very much if Arnst will ever scull for the championship again. Some of his friends and backers appear to take it for granted that he will make an attempt to regain the honor, but my personal opinion is that he meant it when he told an interviewer, 'I may give up sculling. It is terribly hard work.' He will think the matter over during the holiday he is taking ai Boulogne." ARNST OUT OF FORM. Sydney, August 28. The Telegraph's London correspondent says that ArnSt was not at his best. The water was bad for both, but was worse for the Englishman, who had the worst course for three-quarters of the way, and had to give away more than a stone and a Jialf in weight. From every point of view, except that of physical strength, he was a "better sculler than Arnst. ARNST CHALLENGES BARRY, Received 29, 12.10 a.m. London, August 28.
