TRICKETT AND HANLAN.
We learn that it is the intention of Mr E. Trickett, champion sculler of the world, to pay a visit to England in order that if he met Edward Hanlon on the vantage ground of English champions he might accept in reality what has hitherto appeared aej “ Bombastes Furioso ” in the shape of second-hand challenges. The arrival of the San Francisco mail has placed Mr Trickett in possession of “ official ” knowledge that Hanlan intends to visit England this season for the purpose of retaining the trophy won from Elliott, and he (Mr Trickett) has now fully decided on proceeding to England for the purpose of receiving in propria persona any challenge that may emanate from Hanlan with regard to the championship of the world. Mr Trickett in the flesh may be the means of turning the tables, and we should not be at all surprised to learn that the “ blue nose ” scare is only a bogus fear.
