SCULLING.
WORLD’S CHAMPIONSHIP.
CONTESTANTS TRAINING.
By Telegraph.—Press Association.
Blenheim, Last Night. The rivals for the world’s stlulling championship are hard at work on land and water.
Hannan daily climbs the hills and tramps many miles along the skyline, and contents himself with one long row daily, but occa-, sionally he has been out twice on fine days. He gets a tremendous pace out of his boat, seemingly with little effort. His leg work is perfect, and he adds a fine body swing. The boat fairly jumps along when the weight is on. His boat was specially made for this race by Peter Kemp. Arnst is nearly down to racing weight. He recently cycled forty miles up the Wairau Valley, and after walking the hills for four hours, cycled home again. He puts terrific power into I-Is strokes, and his boat fairly flies. His leg work does not show up as well as Hannan’s; at times they slide halfway home before the sculls strike ■ the water, but a great body swing and a hard finish more than atone for these deficiencies. The champion is very pleased with the course.
