he agrees TO take part only for the purpose OF
gratifying the citizens OF Washington In seeing

can oarsman who Will pun against Hanlan, and
pun his best. lf he should win. then all the
better for him lie is In fine condition; so IL
fitnldU. All the Ialk or Hanldn being over
trained is nonsense. Riley went out this MORN
