PHILADELPHIA, September l5 Recent ad-

what was passing politically in Ireland.
when Mrs. Carey was brought before the
magistrates for examination, she exhibited
a great deal Of emotion. She said thBt she

on the best of terms with Hanlan aud did
not consider it proper TO say anything con-
cerning bis ability TO cope with him At the

AUBuRN, n. y, September I5.-A report
er to day interviewed Courtney in regard
to his coming race at Sheldrake:
"Do you want the public to understand
you are going 10 try to win this races'
That's what will do"
"But you are credited with having rewed
three miles in practice at home in 1890,
and at Watkins in practice in 1885,
YES"
"How then does this man Brister dare to
stake $1,000 that you cannot row three
miles in 2O:l4?"
"He believes have been doing my prac-
tice on a short course-that | haven't
rowed three miles when it said l made
1890 and 3d."
The public will think Brister has fixed
you in advance, or he wouldn' { dare put up
81 900 against your time-how does that
strike you?''
II don't know as it makes any difference
how it strikes me, but the public will know
after I've rowed the race. Folks ask me at
home how they shall bet, and tell them
as do anybody else, that I'll bet them
singly or in pool, that
IROw and Win.
That's all I've got TO say about that
"A paper in Rome said last Saturday
that you told its reporter You can beat
Hsnlsn. What don't you row him.?
Il said nothing of the kind, whatever
may think. But tell you I'll be at the
Cayuga lake regatta next week, and we'll
see whether those who say Courtney cant
row are right or not. tell you there'll
be big lot Of money change hands there
next week"
To Rome Sentinel reporter Courtney
said he could defeat Hsnlan in a square up
and Up race. Ee said that Hanlan and
his combination were down on him.
Courtney stated that he did not suppose
he had 9 single friend among the gambling
fraternity. When asked why he did not
.un into Lees scuN when the latter got
into bis water at the recent regatta, he said
he had ri first thought that he would do

he might have done So hut occupying the
position be did, he concluded that he
could not afford to do so. He said that if
he had done 50 he would have Brought

Abuse Upon Himself
at the hands OF bis enemies. Speaking Of
the attack on him at Ogdensburg, he said
it required all his grace to keep his hands

impressed with Courtney's appearance,
a1d considers him very unassuming and
gentlemanly.

Col. W. J. lewis, died in San Fran
cisco, on Jnly 7th, at the aye of y
years. ii. was "A son OF Enoch Lewis,
and brother of the late JosephJ. Lewis,
Chester. Col. Lewis approached close
ly to his fathers ability as mathema-
tician, and he adopted civil engineering
as a profession, and soon rose TO a
prominent position. During the con
sCruction of the Germantown and Nor
ristown Railroad Mr.. Lewis was the
first assistant engineer to Mr.. Henry Il.
Campbell, and he himself laid out
every foot OF the road-a great feat in
those days.
For time he taught in the Friends
school on Fourth street, Philadelphia
where now stands the Forrest building
In the year l849 he went West and
was one of the pioneers in opening NJ
California. He was leading resident
of San Francisco for long number o
years, and held the office of County
Surveyor. Col. Lewis had great re
putation in scientific circles for hi
mathematical requirements, and hi
gifts in this respect always commanded
attention when exercised.
