ARNST'S DEFEAT

OPINION OF EXPERTS EX-CHAMPION NOT AT HIS BEST. (Received July 31, 10 a.m.) SYDNEY, July 31. Harry Pearce and George Towns are of the opinion that something was radically wrong with Arnst in the championship race on Monday. Towns declares that, fit and well, Arnst is easily better than Barry. Pearce is ready to row Barry immediately if the necessary backing is forthcoming. Peter Kemp says: —"If Arnst had been well he should have won easily. A sculler wants at least four or five months in a country before racing. Get Arnst well, match him against Barry again, and I will not hesitate to name him as the winner." WHAT BEACH THINKS. ARNST SUPERIOR SCULLER, (Received Last Night, 9.20 o'clock.) SYDNEY, July 31. Beach attributes A rust's defeat to not allowing sufficient time in which to train, and to not being well. Barry, he says, is undoubtedly a good man, but compared with Arnst when in condition, lie would not have a look in. ARNST'S SUPPORTERS DISSATISFIED. ANOTHER RACK ADVOCATED. (Received Last Night, 11 o'clock.) LONDON, July 31. Owing to the exceptionally bad water, and the difficulties of acclimatisation, A rust's supporters are not satisfied, and urge that another race should '« rowed.

Arnst while not committing himself promises to consider tho matter. Barry states that he is not willing to row again before 1013. The Sportsman states that there is not any doubt that financial support for Arnst will be forthcoming.

Mr Coleman PUwlJiips again urged the deleting of the .words Masterton s-.:vA AYV.'l.pultr.ir'au. Mr 11. J. Young thought that if Ibh'ey were going .t-o get unanimity it would Ibo w.oll to delete Masterton and Wailpukurau. He thought they P'.'ad nothing to flbse ,by deleting the Avords. It wbs for tlie s.urveyo'rs to my where the terminals should be. (Hear, hear.) M'r ,0 ; iO. ,9mith suggested that ithay should decide u.iat die terminal should be in the nic-igiiibourhoocl of M'astarton, Vmd ,in the neighbourhood of Wa.'pukurau.
