Hosmer is taking great care during the
present cold weather that, upon the opening
o fhis preliminary work at st. Louis IN
March. he will be sufficiently strong to once
more row in his old form. He was never
heavier in bis life than at present, He will
no, engage in pedestrian or any other kind
o]Fcontssts. and, as he will probably be bet
Ter rugged and boated at the opening OF the
ccmirg years aquatic work, the confidence
that be now feels is ~warrantable, and will be
shared. no doubt by his numerous friends.
California people interested in Peterson
quite recently sought q race on his behalf
with Jake Gaudaur. The race was to come
off at San Francisco, and to be for a purse
of $. 90 to 500, and Peterson Immediately
requested Ruddock, the Boston builder, to
hurry the completion of his new boat. The
boat was at once started. but it is now
rumored that the st. Louis people, owing to
the close proximity of the date OF the New
Orleans race, have decided to let the matter
rest at present, and Mr.. ST. John, who is
Gaudaur's principal backer,i is ayerse to hav-
ing the Creve CHur oarsman visit the slope
during the coming season.
Teemer resents now what in a probable
spirit of temper he vented relative to his
hackers. Morris and Sanborn, and makes
an attempt, so it is said, to set both these
gentlemen Alright in the public mind, par
tieularly Mr.. Sanborn, from whom 1t seems
he admits having borrowed a considerable
sum Of money. 1T is strange that while all
the controversy touching upon his last sea-
sons races was rampant, he did not know,
realize or remember that he was in his
hackers debt, and was writing letters to peo-
ole in which he made statements that these
hackers were owing him his 333 per cent or
~thereabouts of his summers work.
W. ". Ruddock, of Boston, received last
week through the agency Of Thomas Cook
& Sons, an order from Beach, the Austria
Ian oarsman Beach was DESTROYS of re-
ceiyiug the craft as quickly as possible, and
D. Thorpe, of the firm mentioned, made In
~vestigation regarding the time necessary to
be occupied in getting the craft to its desti-
nation, Sidney, n. S. ". Beach is to row
Hanlan, if the negotiations now pending
are carried out, upon March %, and probs-
bly he will conclude to have the craft
built in order that he may use her in his
race With the champion. He will be cores
pond,d with regarding the matter, and in
all probability another specimen Of the
handiwork of Ruddock will be launched
upon the Paramatta.
