OF THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS SUBSCRIBED.
by TEIEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.]
SARATOGA. n. y, August 4, 1879.
Rumors have been flying thick to-day of the
prospective match between Courtney and Hanan.
to be rowed on Saratoga Lake. The most decided
partisanshIp has been developed relative to these
two giants of the oar. the majority holding to the
opinion that Courtney can, if he will. beat Hanlan
in fair race, water that will allow each man q
chance to do himself justice. The feeling is decid
edy in favor of Saratoga Lake above any other place
in the country and the suggestions IN yesterdays
HERALD are warmly approved by those who take
interest i'll the question. 1t Is hard to
tad any one who does not enter warmly
into the proposition. A race which beyond any
doubt shall be fair test of the powers OF these
seems to be demanded. Even those who irieudiy
to Courtney concede and insist upon the
sity of this to place Courtney where they say he
properly belongs in popular estimation.
THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS SUBSCRIBED.
SO universal has the interest become in this matter
here that Mr.. Wi liam H. Vanderbilt with all of his
fathers characteristic disposition to fair play,
has Undertaken to aid in bringing about the pro-
object in view. Ii is proposed to have the race
about the 9th OF September / learn that the sum
of $4,000 has been subscribed OF which 81, 800 will
be given to the winner and 100 to tie second, and
that if Courtney and Hanan consent to pull cti-
cicnt committee will be appointed and the time ii ixed
at once. Further than this nothing has been
settled.
