hut bad connection. threw the party nesrly
two hours late. The oarsman and his
trainer wsre in charge Of Mr.. j. Il. Posey, Of
the S.. Louis and Creve C@ur Rsilwsy who
went to Toronto to bring them
here. Trickett and Fred Plsisted
have ARRANGED TO row four miles
for $500 a side. Mr.. Posey thought that II
would be q good thing TO have the race on
Creye Cour course, and be has succeeded in
arranging the matter He went 10 Toronto
about Ten days ago, and to-day. he brought
Tricke,, back with him. Just After 10 O'Clock
,he train pulled III 81 the depot. Tho Post
Dispatch reporter and Mr.. 81, John VINO
were the only reception commiNee on the
grounds, climbed into tho car, sud liners
found the man who had come sll the wsY
from SYDNEY, New South Wales, t. beat
Hanlan. and who had .ucceeded m pulling a
very bad second in the race. Trlckeu looks
like An athlete all over; and Is quite a
contrast TO his successful rival. He stands
g feet 9 inches in his stockings, is
brawpy end muscular, with exceeding
ly long arms, bright blue eye and
a face tanned by exposure and trained down
IA To show the cheek bones very plainly.
Like most muscular men, he has an s~k-
ward appearance. lie is very rounds
shouldered, a feature that was remarkable
in Hsnlan'. build also, and looks IKE Il man
of immense strength. he Is thlrty"tour
wears Of age, and has face not at all At
trsc,iye, covered with q struggling nous
tsche and light side-whiskers. TrickeN WAS
rather tired after his journey. In tho car
with him he had his two boats strapped up
near the ceiling. One of them was sn ee-
CANT paper shell and the other cedar boat,
both about thirty-eight feetin length. Ed.
uses longer bost than Hsnlsn, probably on
account Of the great size. H'rry Kelley, the
trainer, ia an old English oarsmSn, ana mas
been with Trickett since he came TO
America. He is also an ex-chsmpion sculler,
but his aquatic days are over Tor Time,
owing TO an injury he received IN June last.
He and Trickelt were boxing in the boat
house at Toronto, and Tricke,t knocked him
clear off his pins with well-direc1ed oiow
in the face, in the fall Harry broke his leg,
and that member has tronbled him ever
SINCE so shat he still walks With cane. AT
the depot Trlcketl bruised himself entirely
with the unloading of his boats and WAC too
busy to talk TO anybody. He helped TO
carry both shells from the car, aud when
they were out on the platform he held one
in his arms and stood guard over the other
until they we're taken to the baggage room,
where they were deposited until to-morro f"
morning, when the owner will take them to
Creve Cmur lake. After the boats we're
slowed away the party started for hurst 3
hotel. On the way down the reporter had q
talk with him, during which he did not seem
very anxious to communicate anything, even
supposing that he knew II.
What do you think OF the American oars
mel?
There are lots of good men in America,
said he with drswl by suggestive OF an
Englishmsn.
How do you rank them?
Oh, would not like to say that. have
not seen enough of them. It's hard to tel
how good man is until you sec great desl
of him. Several of us thought we we're very
good at Toronto, but we were beaten all the
came.
How about Ross?
He 10 very good man, and improving
very fast.
What do you think of Hsnlan?
What does everybody think about him
There is only one opinion about Hsnlan.
:. What is that?
You know ~ well rs do.
:ss-Is there probability that you will mee'
him before you leave the country
don't know. could not say about that
Do you think that another race with Han
Ian would result differently from your othel
one?
told you that there is only che opinion
about Hanlsn. He beat me, did he not!
Bat your friends claimed that you were
out of conditions
That's what they always say. II l had
won | would have been in a fine condition
AS lost, something else Is said. was In
good condition and perfectly fit for the race
and he beat me.
Trickelt thinks Gsudard and Conley, the
unknown in the Toronto regatta, both good
men. He is evidently sore on the subject OF
Hsnlan. A part of the. secret is this, he is
known to be extremely anxious to row the
champion sgain,
The only hirdrsnce is his financial condi,
ton. Az soon as he can get the backing il
is said he will challenge the champion, ant
his friends arc confident that he will give him
nmuch better race than formerly. Tricket
has lost his hotel in Australia, and for some
time beenia Strengthened circumstances. dc
will remain in town to-day and will 60 ou
TO the LAKE and go into training tomorrow
Fred Plaisted will arrive here on the 18Th o.
October. He intended to come with Trick
EFT, but he has entered in q regatta a
Charlotte, Canada, which begins on the 10Th
Courtney will DO one Of his competitors. Th'
race here will be rowed on the 9Th or oh o
October.
Mr.. Posey says that when he left Toronto
the Hanlsn-Ross match was almost tIet
fact and that the champion assured him tina
ifthe race was rowed Creve Cmur lake would
