London, England, Dec IA number of
influential oarsmen. together with a great
many friends and admirers Of H. T.
Blackstaffe. have persuaded him to
emerge from retirement and again try
for The Diamond Souls in 1908 This
famous sculler. who is now thirty-nine
years of age. won the English amateur
championship in 1897. 1901, 1905, and 1905;
he carried off the Diamond Souls in 1906.
Last season he was only beaten a bare
half length by the winner, who had the
best station.
Mr.. Blackstaffe attributes his defeat
TO the fact that he was eleven pounds
above his usual rowing weight, owing
to the weather last spring having been
so unfavorable for training 1t is more
than probable that Mr.. Blackstaffe. form

well as ever and is obtaining plenty of
practice, may also compete at the Olympic
