In connection with the wonderful story about Hanlan's boat, f.ao " Dunedin Evening Star" has the following : —The following ought to put a stop to the absurd yarns that are being so eagerly swallowed by Australians about machinery in Hanlan's boat :—" To disabuse the publio mind (says a Sydney paper) of the idea that Hanlan's boat is fixed up with a eecret motor, and to give the Canadian all the merit he deserves for having bo easily defeated the Australian soullers, it is but fair to state that Hanlan, upon hearing of a rumour of a similar nature in England, allowed the boat in which he had rowed against Triokatt to be submitted to publio inspection for some days. It may be added that neither Trickett nor Laycook gives any oredence to this wild ohimers."
