[Per Press Association.] MATCH BETWEEN” HANLON AND HEARN AT WELLINGTON. Wellington, June 19. The offer made by a Wellington resident to match Hearn, the New Zealand champion sculler, against Hanlon has been accepted by the latter. The match will be rowed in Wellington Harbor over a three-and-a-half mile course, and the stakes will be £2OO a-side—Hanlon receiving £5O as expenses for coming here and two-thirds of whatever is taken in gate money.
