Stanbury Will Cover Gaudaur's De-
poSit-NoteS,


For some time past James Stanbury and
Jake Gaudaur's hackers, the O'Leary
brothers of Buffalo. n. Y, have been in
correspondence relative to a race for the
championship of the world and $500 a side.
In answer TO the first letter received from
Gandaur's hacker, which stated that II match
could be made right away for $4,000 side
Stanbury wrote:
] received your letter in which YOU state that
Gaudaur has $500 nyOur hands to bud match
with me Tor $1,000 side. i wired YOU accept
ing his offer, but have since heard that he has
challenged m for the Championship Of The
world. To this beg TO inform you that Will
mol row Tor the championship OF tile world I'm
less he stake be S2500 side. But l am quite
willing TO row for $1,000 side without The
championship. Be kind enough TO let me know
which ofier VIII suit him, aud will have arti-
cles OF az &c ment drawn mp and forwarded 10
You Tor signing. Hoping 10 hear from you soon
l remain yours, JAMES STANBURY.
To the above the O'Leary Brothers made
the following reply:
Your favor OF April 2 is received, and In reply
VIII say: III It Is any accommodation TO You
TO make The stakes $500 side for the
Championship of the world TO row MIR. Gaudaur.
we VIII readily accede 10 your request, and grant
you that favor. But before going any further 10
the matter We would RESPECTFULLY ask HAT you
cover Mr.. Gaudaui's deposit Of $500. which we
hOla 10 Pima lie agreement. Then we Will start
10 DO business with you, and forward articles FOL
signature at once. OLEARY BROTHERS.
Immediately on receipt of O'Leary
Brothers last letter Stanbury forwarded
the amount necessary to cover the deposit
that has been waiting at the office of
New YORK sporting paper for the champion
TO cover Articles OF agreement viii be
sent for Stanbury's approval or rejection
Immediately on receipt Of his forfeit money,
ana il is extremely doubtful If the cnndi-
lions specified in the agreement will be
satisfactory to the Australian, as lie is de-
cidedly particular how articles should read
before attaching his championship sigma
ture. Gaudaur has always had articles OF
agreement to read so that he could crawl out
OF light place in case the prospects were
not of tile most favorable nature when the
time came for crossing blades.
The Searle cup, originally intended for
cup embematic of the cham piOuship of
England. and open TO competition by the
oarsmen OF that country and Australia, bnt
which was returned to the donors after W.
q. East declined to defend the champion
ship he had won, was rowed for in a hand
cap regatta on tile Thames River March
70. Seven of the entries accepted the allow
ances given by Handicapped W. j. Innes,
including c. r. Harding, sec. start, and
George Bnbear, scratch, and The final heat
was won by Harding in II min. 10 Sec; S.
Emmett, IS sec, second; S. j. Wmgate, 8
sec, third.
According 10 the Clipper, Charles Court
ney. wel-known professional Oarsman,
mas been engaged rs coach by the Univer-
sliy OF California, and he will leave for
20, ti "uO'SCo douut the Hnluule OF august.
The engagement will not interfere with his
work at Cornell University, with whose
rowing representatives lie has for several
ye; rs met with great success, and where he
is very Popular.
Henry Peterson said his backer John
Muirhead, will leave on Tuesday OF Wednes-
day for Austin, Tex, where over $1,000 in
prizes will be offered for single and double
seull faces ut regatta which will be held
early, in May. 1t is quite probable that
Stan bury Will journey South also and have
try for sack of golden eagles
