THE SIX DAYS CHAMPIONSHIP.


As things at present stand in this matter. says the
Sportsman (London) Of I'd inst, there seems to be
hitch which easily be got over. According to
arrangement OLeary and his friends along with
Howes and hts supporters met yesterday At our office
but could not come terms. O'Leary insists upon
his right OF nding the belt in America and does
not seem but he perfectly entitled to take the
position has done sir John Ashley ana the Ameri-
CAMS friends could not agree upon their intcrpreta
ton of the rules, and they decided to reicr tho
matter TO Mr.. Gritty, who Is 10 give his opinion
TINS morning to whether or not O'Lcary is
rl.ht IN demanding that the belt shall next be walked
for IN n town in America that he names. TIL that
question has settled II is, OF course, impossible
10 say anything definite the subject; bat meantime
arc authorized to issue tho following challenge
from Mr. Kcnnard :-"W lillian Howes Will walk
O'Leary or any other man breathing ak days Tor the
Champion Bolt aud f500 or IL 600 side. Howcs
would prefer walking o'Iieary, wpom no HIS once
beaten. and II OLcary's engagements do not admit OF
an immediate match, MIR. Kcnnard will post any pnrt
OF f500 and Howes viii walk O'Leary any time within
twelve months Tor any no may name up TO e. 900
side. An answer through the Sporfsmun will be al
tended to.'
