On Thursday there was a sculling race on the Zambezi

between Richard Arnst, of New Zealand, and Ernest Barry, of London, for the championship of the world. Barry took the lead, but Arnst quickly overhauled him, and eventually won by seven lengths. Barry is one of the best scullers we have had in England for several years. In watermanship he is comparable with such famous scullers as Hanlan. It was thought that though Arnst is the stronger man, Barry might perhaps win through his watermanship, which means the ability to move cleanly through rough water. The water was rough, and yet Arnst won comfortably. We now know that Arnst must be a very fine sculler.
