TO DECIDE SCULLING TITLE

English Champion Refuses to Permit Contest to Take Place in Australia —Must Be on Thames* Ernest Barry of England, who recently received a challenge on behalf of James Pallon to another match for the world’s sculling championship, with generous financial consideration provided the race was rowed on the Wangan’s river, New Zealand, has reiterated his decision not to take part in a contest for the title on. any river other than the Thames. “I think I am perfectly justified in continuing the policy I have always adopted.” said Parry. "It is one which will give the English people an opportunity of following my career, either until I am beaten or f retire. If Australasians want to relieve me of my possession they must come to the Thames. I hope that will be sufficient to settle the question for all time. lam not, averse to a visit to Australia to take part in a big handicap race on the Parramatto, provided I receive a reasonable offer toward the expenses.”
