The champion is willing to coucede a attire of lmlf-a-iuiniite over a course of three mile*.. The Southerner says thafc the "concession ia too small, and expresses his readiness to meet Hearn if the latter will give him a start of one minute. We understand that Hearu ■considers ji minute too much, and will not row Boniface unless the latter agrees to take half-a-ininnte. Should a match be arranged it will be rowed at fctivrrton. — Post.
