SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST HANLAN.

Onr contemporary, the " Boston Herald," says : —Hanlan will sail on the City of Richmond, from New York to England, on September 4th, in charge of George Hawthorne, steward of the Toronto Rowing Club, who has taken the place of He&sley, his old trainer. During the past month Ward, Ooulson, Booth, Sterling, and others of his backers have been considering the feasibility of having the people of Toronto make up a " pot," and send it in charge of an agent, to be bet against the "pile " of the Australians, but within a week this project was given up. Ward, Coulston, and the other backers will follow Hanlan acroaa about September 11th, and will bet on Hanlan their bottom dollar. They, as well as Hanlan, consider the prospects in the coming race as the most brilliant jrefc offered, as the peopUe in England are in'

diced to bet very heaviy on Trickett. The Canadian is now rowing on Toronto Bay with his old time, speed, and skill, and feels confident of winning. The betting at last accounts was 100 to 90 on Trickett, on account of Hanlan's lack of success on the Seekonk. It is hinted in Toronto that he dropped the race there for an object—a consideration of 3000 dols., the amount of the first prize, with an understanding between Barrass and Ward that he should also have a percentage of the former's winnings in the comiDg race. Eeoently Ward said that in the coming race aoross the water, "there would be no monkeying," as Ned wanted to earn 10,000 dole, or 20,000 dols. Trickett has been watched in Australia for over a year past, and itis assorted that the Canadians have got his full measure down to perfection. Han Jan himself, it is claimed, has said that he will defeat Trickett as easy as he did Elliott.
