THE SCULLING RACE.
i'-lio announcement or tne win 'of Barry in the sculling race on the T:liiim.e6' with- "Dick" Am-st, the world'is champion, wall come as a surprise aind disappointment to "New Zealaarders. At 'bhe same time, the j information conveyed 'by cable of late j could 'have loft no doubt in the minds of the public that Artist was not at hr>s best. He had recently suffered from an attack c.f dyfiontory, and the taking off of so much .weight within a, few days of the r.ico must have robbed Itim of a good deal of Ihis stamina. On> the othea' hand, Barry was in the pink of condition. He was on his native heath, rowing on a course wlitsh. every point cf which he I was familiar. Everything may h< said to have bec«:n 'in h:s favour. It is unlikely that Arnst will take his ! beating als final. He accounted for Barry somewhat easily on the Zambesi, and neither Ire nor his admirers will (be satisfied until there has been another test of strength. Meanwhile, J>arry is deserving of the warmest congratuTaftioiLS -upon, his success.
