HANLAN'S DOWNFALL, Commenting on Hanlan's last defeat by Beach, the' New York World says: —" For the third time within a period of three years Edward Hanlau has met defeat at the hands of Williaui Beach in Australia. Previous to his first visit to the antipodes in 1884, Hanlan was the champion oarsman of the world, which proud title he won at the Centennial Regatta. As long as he acted under the advice of capable and judicious managers success was his. He had not been reared in affluent circumstances,, and his handlers knew that good wholesome food and a temperate life were essential for the preservation of his muscular energy ; but success swelled the champion's head, aud wealth brought a desire for high living. Corned beef and cabbage were'replaced by quail on toast, and strengthening ale,was supplanted by exhilarating champagne. The history of Hanlan's downfall is only an episode from the life of all great athletes who have permitted success to make them oblivious of the duty which even they owe to nature."
