THE LATE SCULLING RACE.
WHAT FOGWELL THIN IS. BY TELEGRAPH' —PRES S A'iSOCI/T ON. Received March 4, 9.43 a.m. SYDNEY, March 4. Fogwell, the sculler, says that Tressider was not at his best when he met Webb, and showed no dash. He always felt too sure, and appraised Webb too cheaply. Fogwell speaks highly of the Wanganui course. TRESSIDER GIVE,3 HIS VIEWS. GISBORNE, March 4. Tressider arrived at Gisborne today, and was warmly welcomed by members of the rowing community. He states that he has not yet made up his mind whether to settle in the dominion. Referring to the Sydney cablegram as to Fogwell's opinion, he states it is quite incorrect. He in no way under-estimated Webb's capabilities, recognising that he had a very hard race to row. He considers that he (Tressider) rowed as well as he ever did in his life, and showed plenty of dash, but was fairly and squarely beaten by the Wanganui man.
