The Ottawa Empire publishes the
following challenge from O'Connor:
"Sir,-I wish to settle all con-
troversy regarding the champion
ship of the world, now lamentably
vacant by the death of Henry Ernest
Searles. There is but one way to
do this, and that is TO have race.
Now, Mr.. Stansbury, the most pro-
minent claimant in Australia, has
announced his intention of visiting
America, while John Teemer, who
has avOwed his intention of going to
Australia, asserts that he is willing
to row me or any other man; but
somewhat inconsistency states that
he is going to sail the middle of
next month for Sydney, New South
Wales, no matter what turn things
may taFe. 1t would be great pity
if both Messrs. Stansbury and lee
mer were to carry out their announ-
ced intentions. In that case i should
be here to row Stansbury, while
Teemer would be there to row Kemp,
all of us being claimants to the
highest sculling honors of the world.
Whoever won in either case would
be no nearer arriving at a decision
than we are the present moment. l
wish to obviate this possible diff
Guilty and also to earn the title if it
is in me, and honestly and without
Boosting believe it is. therefore
herewith challenge any man in the
world to row me race for $2500 or
more side and herewith deposit
$500 with the Empire Printing Com
pany to make such challenge good.
l will leave this offer open for three
months and will agree to row within
three months from the time of ac-
ceptance. Teemer imagines he can
beat me; here is his chance; at any
rate until he has met and defeated
me he can have no possible claim to
championship of any kind. hope
that everybody will agree with me
that my offer is fair and open one,
and that it will be considered an
honest attempt to settle much
vexed question in the only way that
it can be properly decided, namely,
a good square race. l have no fear
of any sculler in the world and con
slider that, no matter how many
claimants may arise, no man can
honestly be styled Champion of the
World until he has given me rate
and won the stakes.-Yours, ETC.,
VIM. O'CoNNoR."
