| House, Rochester, N. Y. in room A. he thinks

| ing called there to see him. Ward did about
all the talking. but Hanlan remained present
| and heard 1t all. Ward said ''this fellow"

won't 80 there meaning to the proposed race at

Ward do all the talking l was suffering terribly

such way that I saw he wanted to edge me
Johnson came up to just then and said that

Hanlan and me to be talking together, and wanted
days after. Hanlan and Coulson. friend Of his.

outside and Hanlan came in. .Frenchy" was
in there with me; else that remember I

said something. As soon rs they were off asked
sFrenchy" what Hanlan said. ''By gorry." he says
che acts like as if ho wanted to say something to me-

think Hanlan came again, but I wouldn't want
to say positively.
MORE TEMPTATION.
Day before yesterday. or possibly the day before
that. am not sure which. James H. Brister who is
here with me. brought me word that Dave Ward, told
him tnat he would be at my boat house at two
o'clock, while Brister and were there, Dave Ward
came rowing p1lone in a skif. and landed. We got
there almost together. l had previously awakened
asleep after dinner and told them:-Says 1. IL am
going down to see Dave Ward. and know that
he's come here and wants me to let Hanlan win this
ia beg first" I told him wasn't going there with
any such intentions. waited to find out what the
meaning of this was and what the Hanlan people had
to say. After some time Ward said, ''Since I've
been here one day. Ned says he's almost willing to
row for the whole purse. he's coming up so fast"
Ward had not come hero till a week after Hanlan
got here Ward said tho best thing he could
told him, "No. sir. I'd rather row for the whole
purse and win it or not have a cent" Brster

money in square race you can beat him
] going in and going to do your best to win, and I'll
bet my money on you against Hanlan or anybody

as Hanlan claims he do it," "How fast did he
he could do itr' Ward asked. told him thirty
three minutes. and says 1--WE rowed the in
