Special to the New York Tribune
Hanlan does not think Ross and himselfSvould
make good double, as he is the larger man,
and his stroke longer. In referring to proposed
races Hanlan said: "You can put two Teemers
in any boat and can beat them, or you can
bunch all the so-called oarsnen together, pick
out the best fifteen, and [ will row them one
mile each every day for fifteen days and win
every day, sick or well. 1t Teemer and his
hacker do not stop throwing mud at me will
treat them the way Beach did me in Australia
choose my own time and course in tricky wa
tiers, with the thermometer ITO deg. in the
shade, and keep them waiting for eight months
Teerner IS the only one to blame for our not
coming together, because he did not answer my
letters and kilograms asking a postponement Of
two weeks until could get my boat finished"

but when the vessel arrived at Japan tive MY
tour cases OF kerosene were missing The
Manila courts in 1888 decided that the seizure
and sale were illegal. But Spain still refused
TO reimburse the owners. In 1884 Capt.
