Mr.. John Kennedy still fingers among he
| Washington boating fraternity. Kennedy's opinion
Of anlan, Courtney, Elliott GaiSel and the rest Of
the hlnpodrome actors OF the profession Is not very
exalted. lilo says they will not row man who Is
| known to be an honest scucr, and says that next
year VIII be the downfall of professional racing as 1t
ought to lie Kennedy points with pride to his record
Us uarsnan aud sCuIer and saws that no man ever
backed him M with money! he always put up his own
hard earnings, and only does 1t when he sees good
chance Tor him To double the amount. Ever since his
entrance Into professional scunE no whisper has
ever been heard against his honesty as man and
olsman, this may account for the failure of llanan
and Courtney to accept his challenges to them.
