Hanlan and Ross.

A correspondent of the Boston Herald asks
the following questions:
Can you inform me if Wallace Ross has ever
beaten Ed Hanlan; and, if SO, when and
where? q Has Hanlan ever withdrawn from
any regatta Ross was in? 3. Has Hanlan ever
given up the championship since he first won
it?
The Herald replies that the above are ques-
tions often asked, and the replies are as fol
lows: 1, Wallace Ross defeated Edward Han
Ian at Providence in the Hop Bitters regatta
June II, 1879. 2. Hanlan withdrew from the
Exposition regatta at Toronto, September T,
1881, and Wallace Ross won the first prize. 3.
Hanlan withdrew his deposit to bind match
with Ross, announced that he would accept
no more challenges, and retired from rowing
in September, 1881.
A Toronto dispatch says Hanlan is out again
looking about as we'll as ever and attending to
business. His physician has forbidden him
rowing any more races this summer.

quainting his wife with what he had done,
she refused to have it administered TO the
child, as she was strongly i'm favor of Ho-
mmOpathy That night the child passed in
suffering, and the parents without sleep.
Returning hone the day following, the
father found the baby still worse; and while
contemplating another sleepless night, the
mother stepped from the room to attend to
some domestic duties, and left the father
with the child. During her absence he adj
ministered dose of the Soothing Syrup to
the child, and said nothing. That night all
hands slept well, and the little fellow awoke
in the morning bright and happy. The
mother was delighted with the sudden and
wonderful change, and although at first Of
Tended at the deception practiced upon her,

An Aged Female Crank.

Mrs. Tabitha Dorcas Mckinney, the aged
crank who has spent two years roaming
over the state in search of an imaginary
fortune she claims to be a cool million, ar
rived on yesterday mornings north-bound
train, and ensconsed herself in seat in the
waiting-room at the Union depot, and be-
gan to grind out her old story which has
cen repeatedly published by the press of
ne state. Her story in brief is to the effect
that she is a daughter of Christopher Wells
deceased, who was the nephew and heir
of Christopher Caster, who died in this
state intestate leaving $1,0000OO in cash.
She never forgets to ask for money, and,
being in appearance an object of pity, she
gathers up in the coui Sc of her travels a
good deal of cash. She has home with
relatives near Decatur, but they cannot or
do not keep her at home. The old lady is
crazy or an impostor, and her proper place
is in the lunatic asylum. She got money
from several citizens here and the last seen
of her he was at the Texas & Pacific depot
awaiting the train to resume her trip to De-
gltur.
