SCULLING.

COMING RACE FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP. By Telegraphs-Press Association. WANGANUI. June 12. On Tuesday next the final deposits, £3OO per man, have to be made good with the stakeholder in connection with the Sculling Championship on the 22nd inst Interviewed yesterday, the champion, who has not been well for a few days, said: "I can feel myself coming on. and to-day I feel more like rowing than I have done for some days past. I expect to improve every day now, and should be Al when I go to the past. I had rather a bad j turn, and it pulled me down a bit, but I shall be all the better fcr the

spell." i Later on, when Arnst stripped and got on the scales, his weight was 13st silb, or three or four pounds heavier than he was a couple of days previous, and he looks upon the increased weight as very satisfactory. Yesterday morning, Arnst and Fogwell went over the championship course, indulging in a few sprints on the way. In the afternoon the course was again covered, the champion striking sweeping strokes, having great power in them. Webb took things easily yesterday, rowing by himself over the course in the morning, and in the afternoon driving to the sea beach. This morn- , ing, accompanied by Whelch, he had ! | a solid row over a miles. and the pair then indulged in sprinting, in which the ex-champion s was seen to great advantage, show--1 ing a lot of pace. 3 "■ WANGANUI, June 13.

L Arnst is also in good form, and f both men promise to make a big '■' fight on the 22nd.
