The weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1878-1881, 1879-11-04

President. 1t now seems absolutely certain
that unless Grant consents to run either
Sherman or Blaine will sweep the field
against all comers If the Republicans carry
New York handsomely.
Grants most intimate friends East say he
will insist upon being permitted to seek re-
tirement of private life and accept dignifed
and profitable business position which will be
open to him. The Democratic split now
promises to give the Republicans larger con-
troll in the municipal government of New
York than they ever had before. l.,,. IA

| Articles of agreement for a sculling match
between Elliott and Boyd stlpulates that the
race shall he rowed on the Tyne Course.
The first deposit of fifty pounds to be made
on the 31st inst the second deposit of fifty
pounds on the 10Th of December, and final
deposit of one hundred pounds on the day be-
re the race. Date of the race not yet fixed.
Elliott claims he has greatly improved his
style of rowing and is confident of being able
to render capital account of himself when he
again meets Hanlan. The sporting papers
say Elliott is undoubtedly the strongest man
and if he has really discovered how to utilize
his strength and to supplement it by availing
himself of all those mechanical contrivances
which contribute SO greatly to Hanlan's Prov
ess he ought to be able to defeat Hanlan with
some amount of ease. Elllott's claim for the
cup was made Immediately. The highest all
thority in England agree that Hanlan has for
feited his title of champion of England as
well as his claim to the cup. f.
