CANADA CATCHINGs.
HanlOn After the Canadian Cha mpIon.

TORONTO, Ont, July Oh. g. Meeker, of
New York, on Carney's behalf offered to de-
posit $500 to secure match for $4,000 between
Hanlon and Courtney, Meeker to name the
time and place. The Hanlon Club will make
a match for that or a larger amount, and will
also allow Meeker to name the place, but they
object to his naming the time. Hanlon they
say has been in steady training since early in
April, and after his race with Rope on the
twenty fifth will have wel-earned and long
rest. They will not only be ready, however,
but agree to close with Meeker's terms after
the Canadian champion has had few weeks
