Wrong again, Mr.. Sentinel. The

crawl out of any responsibility, for il
never assumed any. The Phoebe RECORD
simply made an announcement. rs re-
quested. Ii the parties. at whose desire
II was made, choose to back out, that ia
not our business. We do not know
whether they will or will not, but il the
Eureka man wants to find out, be has
got the opportunity Of doing so. One
thing IS certain, q long distance sepa-
rates them. The race, according to the
challenge. was to be run at Phoebe, but
the Sentinel man wants to run at home;
therefore, so far Mr.. Bishops challenge
has not been accepted.
