Hosmer is greatly interested in the result Of
the contest between Bubear and Ross, which
takes place today on the Thames, London, Eng.
Hosmer believes that Ross has undertaken a
difficult task in giving Bubear start of 10 sec
onds and hoping to beat him on his own water.
In order to do this, he thinks Ross must be in
better shape than he was in at any time last
year. Ross he says is a strong and fast sculler
when properly trained and rowing in good
public form; but he is hard to get in FIX"
and easily put out of condition. He rates
Ross, Teemer, Hamm, Conley and himself as
in one class, and says if all were well trained
and in perfect condition for race it would be
difficult to ssay which was the best oarsman
until the last stroke had been sculled.

THE WESTERN RESERVE FOR BLAINE.

There are echoes of a Blaine movement all
through the air in this part of the State. There
may as yet be no organized effort, but the ma
terial for such efforts is being put in shape.
There are some who believe that the selection
of Cleveland as the place for the coming Re
publican State Convention is part of Blaine
movement headed by ex-Gov. Foster. The
idea put forth is that Cleveland stands in the
centre of the Reserve, where Blaine is popular
in his own right, and is also regarded as in
some sense the political bier Of Garfield, and
that this sentiment will largely enter into the
action Of the State Convention.
