SunG and Nancy Hanks
Corbett May Agree to Meet the Irish
Champion Tomorrow Night.

| Horsemen are talking about the possibility
OF q match race next season between Robert
| Bonner's great FLY sunol and j. Malcolm
Forbes's wonderful flly Nancy hanks The
latter has a record OF 200, and there are
those who think she is the superior Of the
sensational Elcctioneer filly. II is understood
that Mr.. Forbes is not unwilling to trot
| Nancy Hanks against Sunol, while Mr.
| Bonner thinks 1t too early to talk
about such match until It is known
whether the pair will be Mt for a
race next year. As II is well known that
Mr.. Bonner will not trct his horses for money,
Mr.. Forbes says that he will consent to trot
for charity, the entire gate receipts to go to
such charities as he and Mr.. Bonner might
agree upon. The meeting between these two
would be the biggest trotting event the world
has known, and 1t is considered by horsemen
the only way to settle the question Of supe-
riority.
