The Rowing Association has decided to send a 3)Tew South Wales eight to the Olympic games at Stockholm. This will be. the first Australian eight to compete m the games. . • • -FOG WELL'S RETURN. ARNSt’S DEMAND FOR EXPENSES. ' FREEMANTLE, October 25. There .arrived from -• London per the R.M.S, India to-day Willidm Fog well and his backer, Mr George Seifert. The former interviewed about his race with Barry, said; “Although I did not row nearly . iip to my form, Barry was too good for me, anyway. I. did not begrudge him his victory, for he wan a thorough’gentleman.” . “Mind' you,” said Mr Siefert, “Billy rowed in; iio|hinnf like his true form. No, I cannoti account for that. It certainly was not the ill-effect of the climate, for eight days before the event he was sculling better than ever he did in his life.” “Yes,” added Billy, “on the day I met a, better man than myself. Do I think I would beat the Englishman on the Parramatta? Well, I think I would have a chance. The latter river has practically still water, and the course on which I rowed in, England is by no means still—in fact, the tide. runs at the rate of about four and a half., miles. It did hot suit hie.”' “Do you think that Barry would have a chance with Dick Arnst on the English course?”.; “Yes, I do.” “Of course A is really hard to say as to that,” interrupted Mr Siefert. “Billy sculled so badly against Barry that it was impossible for us to get a line of whatthe Englishman is Capable of. I am doubtful whether money would be forthcoming from English patrons of the sport to furnish Dick’s financial demands. Although Barry was promised support for ■hi? match with Billy, he” had at least to "provide £IOO from his own pocket for stake.-.money.” “He is a good man,” put in Fogwell. “That is so,” an'sweited his baclfor. “The reaspn why he wins soynany of his mat ches is because he pis • possessed of so much coolness and judgment. I think, however, that Harry Pearce would beat Barry.” . Fog wen speaks in the highest terms of appreciation of the way in which he was treated by the people, in England. Previous tb his sailing for Sydney' he was presented , with 'a-handsome watch and chain and a hair of tiny "gold sculls to act as a pendant; He values these presents'at between £SO and £6O. The rowing people, also. gave him aii address.
