ner, has left the amateur ranks, and will

received letter from his uncle In which
the latter announced his willingness to
back his nephew against Kibblewhito,
Morton, or Parry for 81 900 or upward, at
two, four, and ten miles.
Connoff will not do any running at pres
ent, but will go TO bis home In Clare,
county Kildare. and take n vacation for q
couple Of months. In case a match is
made he will begin training about March I.

pionship OF Canada. Personally Connect
