BY Leased Wire to The Tribune.
. NEW YORK, July 16.-The only for
eign representation. from present ap-
pearances, in the national regatta which
will be held in Washington next month,
will come from Canada. A great deal of
indignation has been expressed among
the older oarsmen in the national capi-
tai over the Indifference of the younger
generation of oarsmen towards the ap-
preaching tournament. 1t is doubtful
even now whether Washington will be
adequately represented in the regatta
upon the Potomac river. 1t was sup
posed that crew would be selected
from the Potomac Boat club but no
organized effort was made to do so, The
arrangements have drifted along. so far
as the plans of the actual regatta are
concerned although the business men
have raised large purse towards the
expenses of the regatta. There will be
number of entries from Canada. 1t
is quite likely that all the Canadians
who went to England to conlpete for
the Diamond Sculls will be at Washing
ton. An invitation was extended to
President Taft TO make a temporary
return from Beverly but he declined
with thanks.
Ernest Barry is scheduled to arrive
at the Zambesi In South Africa today.
In August he will meet Dick Arnst upon
the Zambesi river for the sculling cham
pionship of the world. According to
various interviews. Arnst objects to the
race being rowed under any other than
world IS championship rules, and it ap-
pears strange that such detail as this
should be allowed to remain unsettled
until the contestants meet on the Zam-
best. The only material difference be-
tween championship and Thames rules
is that the champion has the privilege
of postponing the race if the conditions
are not favorable to him on the day Sc
lected, and in conversation Barry de-
clared that he would row Arnst under
whatever conditions he chooses to stipu-
late. 1t is understood that Arnst has
not vet signed the articles, but this will
undoubtedly be one Of the first matters
to be settled when the parties meet on
the Zambesi.
AS to Stake Money.
According to the worlds champion
ship rules as drawn up some years ago
by few ex-champions of Australia, 1t
is stipulated that the contestants, when
belonging to different countries, should
each find $2500 stake money, In the
present case neither sculler is having
to provide any stake money, as a purse
question has boen discussed as to wheth,
er the result will carry the title of
world S champion. So long, however,
as the rival scuilers agree to this
there seems to be no objection to the
slight departure, and in his last letter
TO Barry. Arnst wrote: Never mind
what other people say so long as we
agree to row for the world IS champion
ship" Barry states that he win in
Slof
race, although he might give way to
Arnst in any other direction.
Since entering upon his training Bar
ry has not been engaged in any con-
test. but Arnst in the earlv part Of the
year easily defeated Weleh in a
world g championship encounter, and
also competed in a $500 handicap at
Sydney. The English champion is TAX
ing three boats-Queen Alexandra,
one modelled from George Towns s
CRAFTY, and Lady Desborough. On the
voyage Barry kept his muscles in trim
by exercising on sculling machine,
skipping etc
