DICK ARNST AGAIN.

TO challenge: the world. That "Dick" Arnst, ex-champion* sculler of the world, is not through with sculling was .proved by a cablegram received a few days ago, stating that he was issuing a challenge to anyone in the world for the championship. Br. Tliacker, who has come to Sydney as one of the managers of the New Zealand Rugby League leant and who was one of Arnst's backers- far the race with Harry on the Zambesi, persuaded the exchampiou to think seriously again of regaining the laurels he lost to Barry on the Thames (says the Sydney Daily Telegraph of Saturday). ,Br. Tliacker.. has no doubt as to Arnst's ability, fit and well, to beat the world on the water. But lie says definitely that Arnst must place himself unreservedly in the hands of Harry Floyd or some other equally competent manager, else he will not consent to be one of his backers.

[ Subsequently Dr. Thacker stated that Artist would meet the winner of the , Kany-I'earce contest either in Australia or Knjrlawl "I will become one of Arnst's backers," added Dr. Thacker, "provided that Harry Floyd or a man equally competent is to look after our ex-champion." 1-liirrv I'loyd, who was standing by, agreed tlni L Arnst at his best was the best.
