AQUATICS.

Hanlau Ims recently been defeated at the Great Hop-bitter contest by Wallace Ross. In this connection the “ Turf, Field and Farm “ has the following :—“ In Ross, Hanlau had an antagonist worthy of his ash, and, sickness or no sickness, it was an oven thing which of the two would finish first. But the prestige of Hanlau is gone, and he is no longer the invincible who enters the lists with all the odds in his favor.” “ Hanlan,” says the “Evening Telegram,” “will not enter a rowing shell for two months. He is picking up in flesh.

ad his strained sinews are relaxing. Ho said to-day ho could have beaten Boss at Providence, in the recent regatta, if he had persevered, but the agony was bo great that Hanlan was afraid of permanently disabling himself. He says that should ouch a pain seize him in the race with Trioket, in November, he would row the race out if he wore to know he would be a cripple for life. The backers of Daniel Leyhey, the singlescali champion of the Pacific elope, offer to match him to row Edward Hanlan, three or five miles, for lOOOdols. a side. The San Francisco “Call” says—“ If Hanlan consents to make the journey to the Pacific and gets away with our champion, ha ean carry home more coin than ho has ever won in the course of his career heretofore.”
