ferring to Davis he said, 'He is an awfuly good
man..
'Do you think Riley the next best man to Hanan p?
81 do. know Riley better than any man in this
country. II he is all right tell you man will
have TO row to beat him. I should like to coach
Frenchy Johnson.
'what your opinion of Frenchy ?" asked the cor
respondent.
my opinion is that he be make to scull fear
fully fast. He did not know anything at all about
scuing until he went to Owego with me. There is y
chance for wonderful Improvement In Frenchy,

.Who are to be the prominent oarsmen this sea-
son p?
''Riley. Johnson Davis Morris and Lee They
all good ones, too. every one first class
THE ENsINoRE COURSE.

in America, do you not p
Il do do not know any good in the world"
''what the advantages of the Ensinorc
course p
"You any time you want to. I never saw
the day yet that could not row some time during
the day"
"A rain only would prevent race %
"a rain would not prevent race II were referee.
The Riley-Kennedy race could have been rowed last
fall when it rained. The water smooth
glass" Courtney continued Tho idea of rowing a
. race at Lachne ! should soon think of rowing
up here In the gullcy There is thing, the peo-
pie i'll Canada treated me spendidly. The Lachine
course is in no way qualified for racing. No place
where there are eddies is adapted to boating"

TAKES VIE NAME INTEREST IN BOATING.

come out ahead. Ishould like to Gee the champion

added Courtney. III some one comes along and
wants to row for $4,000 will pull him, but don't
want to row any one.
THE COMING BOATING SEASON.
'What kind OF season do you think the coming
one will be for boatingY
Fully as lively the last; and do not know but
lvelier. Ibave had several offers to in regattas
am going to wait until spring, and when tho old
lake stills down perhaps III feel differently. In
about rowing in the future" Courtney's concluding
remark made in determined tone.
In Auburn 1t is regarded as not improbable that
Courtney friends and hackers will endeavor to induce
him to enter the aquatic arena again this spring. Ger
tain is that IL Mr. makes satisfactory arrange
ments Courtney will 20 to Australia and Trickctt
on his In that event it may be expected
that Courtney will bring back the championship.
Although the Union Springs oarsman does not make
the assertion his supporters firmly believe that
n fair course no can outrow any man that
stepped into shell. Courney's remark to the cor
who would pull him on his water. will be the means
of making match between him and some other
sculler. When not in boat Courtney is ont of his
element, and the coming of spring may have the
effect OF inducing him to alter his determination and
resume his seat in the shell.
