COURTNEY AND HANLAN, The Race Talked Over by the Scullers, HANLAN’S POSITIVE VIEWS. Emphatic Denial of Selling Out by Courtney. STATEMENT BY THE AMERICANS JUDGE, se [BX TRURGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) MontreEaL, Canada, Oot. 4, 1878, People in Montreal are quieting dowa after the Face, and one can get around in the hotels with more freedom, As there has been so much talk about Courtney selling the race I proceeded to interview both Hanian and Courtney to-day, delieving that tho readers of the Hsrap wouid be interested in know- ing precisely what they bad to say. I met Edward Hanian in tne rotunda of the Windsor Hotel this morning, as he was surrounded by some friends who Wore conzratulating him on bis Jast great victory, “Good morning, Ned, How do you feel this morn- Ing??? said your correspondent, as we shook bands. “1 fee! all right, sir, considering,” be replied, “Can you spare me a quarter of an hour fur a Little talk 2” “Yes, if you wish it, but I am not very anxious to talk with you newspaper men, You kuow it 16 not always the correct thing to do, but let us go some~ where out of the It won’t do to stand here,” We walked off arm in arm into the billiard room, and, finding it empty, 1 pushed a couple of chairs invo a corner, when the following conversation took Plac BANLAN INTERVIEWED. Mr. Hanlan, 1 am going to ask a fair question, though you may think it an unpleasant one, Do you think yesterday’s race a square, honest ono?” ‘That's a very unpleasant question, indeed, and If 1 did not know that you meroly ask as the correspon- dent of a great paper like the Hearn, I would not aoswer it. Everybody will say that of course 1 would claim it ag a fair, honest race.’” “| appreciate your situation, Ned; but in view of the rumors and statements tnat Charley Courtney did actually sell the race it is eminently proper that I should ask fora straight answer, to place you on the record. You think that Courtney rowed honestly and squarely in an effort to beut you?” “01 course I do, As you say 1 should go on the record I will say once for all that I believe Charley Courtney expected and hoped to outrow me. | know that, It is my opinion that he did bis best to win tne race 1 kpow he gave me plenty of work, and gave me all the rowing lwanted, He made mework more than any man 1 bave yet rowed against, He spurted and l epurted, and I was kept to my werk all the time, Hes the only man I bave met in a race who bas Gono this, and 1 tank I won fairly and squarely, both of us going on our real merits. Courtney is the first one to row me with whom I could not do as I pleased. There was nochince for me to get away as 1 aia with others whom I beat this summer,” “{t looked to us on the referee’s boat that you wero not rowing your strongest on the up trip, It was even claimod by some that you were rowing a waiting race, Did you so row up to tho turning buoys 77? “No. Asl have just said, Courtney spurted when dver 1 did, and there little difference between us (bad to row earnestiy. He rowed a good deal iat stroke than I dia, thougn.”” POSITIONS IN THE RACK, “When the Tyne crew rowed the St, John crew over the Lachine course in 1570 Renforth won the ice of position, and took the inside one as the bes. As Mr. Davis, your jauge, chose the outside one, 1 suppuee you consider that the best one ?” “Yes; I did before the race, and I do now it’s over, If 1did not thiuk so 1 should. not have taken it. Woen I toid Mr. Davis to toss up ior me | instructed him to secure che outside if the choice /ell to me.” “Why is it the best?” “Becuase there is a strong current all the way the river, and the isiands break it a good deal man rowing outside can get under the lee of these felands, and get easicr work. That is why 1 janted it.” “Do you think the result would have been difterent bad you not won the choice of position?” “Well, it would have been harder work for mo, that’s quite certain.” “Dia you think all through the race that you would win? ‘Well, I felt confident and cool, thougn, of course, there was uo knowing what accident might happen to rout my winning’? “Courtney pulled a faster stroke than you all over tne course. Could you have increased your stroke and kept it?” “I am not a quick stroke man. Courtney in, He is @ bigger and stronger man than I am, aod can take a fapia stroke and keey it, I cannot, for 1 have to ngto to stand the sirain of such @ loug But you have always seemed to me to be in excel cond, ion and as strong as a horse?” “iam, and iM good condition; but a mi Courtney’s weight ougus to nave more pny: Birengih than oue of my inches. It doesn’t de me to row a rapid stroke.” “A DIFFICULT QUESTION TO ANSWER, ”? “You, however, veld your ground theugh Courtney rowed Irom one to three strokes a minute more than you did. How do you account for the fuct that with jower stroke the two shelis kept so evealy over tue miles??? a aifficalt question for me to an tpat I did 1.7 do you think of Courtney and his style, the race is over ?”? great oarsimun, and pall I never had so much cat oat ior fessional racing. More tuam that would be improper for me (o say.”” “Ono the Lomestretch both you and Courtney went Out of your courses, Wuy did you row tor the line of booms and barges ?”” *“Cuarley crowded me out of my water just as we passed Dixie Island. [ called out to nim to k More away trom me, but he k and I had (0 row out to avoid a collision, time U thought I should run into the barges and be wrecked. 1 would n pt in his own water, [vad werk to get to my SBtuke, As iL Was, L just saw 1¢ 1 time and rowed in.’” “You apd Courtuey met very soon afier the race eu, and these was some comment on the rendt- ness of Courwmey to shake hands with you. How avout thar??? “Mr. Courtney ta a very honorable man, and when pulled up to me and offered bis band | was glad of the cpauce toshake it 1 may as well say now, that ever since | first met Chariey Courtney be seemed to @ vo boa man Of honor and excellent disposition. 1 seod with him and have but because we bad p ‘9 18 Bo reason Why we shoaid Ware aud honest race.” NOTHING WRONG, ‘Now, you are voluntai asserting that it w: oxtly rowed by Courtine’ ‘Now, sir, once lor alll wish to say that I camo hero to row to win on my morits, If there was any Goderband work | had no hand in it, nor did I know of any such arrangement, and i don’t vellove in it How can of jal jor ry “Now that wo have got back to this question of honesty, let me ask you another question, Do you be! y of your {rieads, your persoual to do with such ao agement?

If the race had gone the other way thousands of bis own people would have said worse things of bim than have been said against me. See here, that race ougnt to have been rowed at two o’clock yesterday, notat five. When I saw the water between one and two o’clock I told our boys to get all ready, tor 1 expected to be called out every minute, and at two o'clock 1 sat here dressea in my boat suit, all ready forthe call, When they did call me I was astonished, but went out.

Wbat’s the use now witb, this awful story hanging over me??? Wait till spring,” said Brown, ‘wait till spring, Charley; you’ve got good frieuds left yet.” NKVKK TRLEGRAPHKD 418 BROTHER. “Now, just taink of it,’’ couiimued Courtney; “they say ltelegraphed to my brother to bet against me.

A feport gained cireulation in sporting circles you terday that on the day belore the Hanian-Courtuey race @ cousin of Courtney, Who 18 also a banker in Union Springs, this State, vet $20,000 in the Woehaw- ken pool room against his townsman and rela- tive From thie Was argued that the race was undoubtedly sold, else why would Courtnoy’s relative fisk so heavily against bim, A further rumor had it that the amount mentioned was pat up against a compa: ‘oly small sum, To investiaate the truth of the story a Heraup reporter yesterday Visited the pool room in Weehawken and conversed with the propriotor, the clerks, and also a number ot the patrons of the establishment, Thove in a position to speak positively on the sub- Jeot denied that any such sum had been bet on Hanian js ot Courteey. They statea, howover, that 00 boen bet Hauiaa by’ pore 4 to be Courtney’s tow: interviewed on the subje “Suspicion was fret aroused in the pool room when persous keown to be friends of Courtney vegan offer- ing large odds, At first the betting was ia tne ratio 01 1,009 to 700 in favor of Heniau, A numoer of bets were made a: those odds, but finally larger odds were offered. 1 saw bets taken of 10010 20 on Hanlan, Among obvers who were backing Hauian heavily 1 noticed & man who was said to be from Unioa Springs.

He went heavily on Huolan.’?” Woen asked his opinion as to whether the ruce was sold out or nor the quickly an- 1 feet sure of it, Wy, such odds would never have been offered if there wasu’t something crooked in the thing.” Another well know ig man of New York | said to Lhe reporte: lta perfectly clear te my mind | ‘that the race was thrown, It is also clear that it was a cleverly put up job. The thing was carried out in g00U style, but it wos awful rougo op tuose who put their money on Courtney :n good faith,”? DIFFRRENT ViNWS, The reporter encountered other betting mon who exprossed different views. Said on nave cure: Jully read all the accounts about tbe race, and 1 am by Do means satisfled but that it was «square out-and- out affair, Courtney got veat because he couldu’t i. “But how about the 1 heavily againas bin, and the repor ip him who bet observed nds of Court large odds red the man of sports, “On ‘he contrary, { think it goes to prove that the Trace was afairone, Why, sir, we hoa? on every band that friends of Courtuey came from this tewn ana from that knowing that the race was going te be sold, and put their mouey in accordingly. Now, does any sensiblo man suppose tor an instant that if Courtney had made up bis mind to throw the race be would have shouted bis intention from the housetops? No, sir; i! Courtney was going to throw the race you may depend upon it only two or three of his Most tutimaie irieads would know it, Every Tom, Dick or Harry wouldn't know ali about it, as itis ciaimed.

Pwisapenrnia, Oct, 4, 1878, The second Gays play of the great international match attracted an immeuse assembinge, at least teu thousand persons beiug assembled within the eo- closure, The fine stand made by the Philadelphians on the opening day tended to increase the interest felt in the match, curiosity to see how the Aus- tralians would shape at the bat also accountingin measure for the large altendance—the largest, by the wey, ever assembled at any cricket match im tnis country. New York was liberally represented, among the moat prominent of their cricketers present being Mewsrs, Gibves, Marsh and Giles, Another fine day and a superior exibition of batting were in storo tor the numerous visitors, the Australians almost equal- ing their opponents’ play in that respect, although at the outset it looked ag if a bad defeat was ‘ton the cards”? for the sitors, ‘Stonewall’? Bannermaa and Murdoch, however, put @ different phase on affairs, and Blackthiam and Boyle helped the Austra- lana? score to assume respectable dimensions, The fielding of the Phuadeiphians with but one or two exceptions was very good, Dan and Bob Newhall especially exceliiug in that respect, Meade did not prove so effective as anticipated, his bowling lacking accuracy, owing, doubtless, to his total lack of prac. tice for the past five years. ©. Newhall did the bow!- ing, us the analysis will attest; but tne bard | ground lost bim several chances of taking wickets, the ball rising too much. D. Newhall bowled very weil the latter part of the game. The hitting of the hard Ubroughout, as is evidenced by less than thirty mits for 3 each being made and only sixteen singles, We give beiow a detailed account of the second day’s play, tne Aus- tratians occupying the wickets until stumps Were drawn with te fall of their tenth wicket, THE PLAYING. It was five minutes ulier the appointed time wnen play was commenced. The Banuerman brothers first kuurded the wickets, while to Chaties Newhall and Mende was intrusied the altack, A. Bunnerman made a nice leg bit for 3 off Meade’s second over, but the first ball of the next ovor was snicked by C. Bannerman and cleverly caught by George Newhall atthe wicket, the champion bat of the Australians thus reuriog with the ominous 0 attached to bis name, One wicket down for 3 runs, ai wuich there was great rejoicing. Horan filled tbe vacauey, and alter feeling bis way for a couple of overs drageed one of Moade’s from the of to we on for a brace, and made a precisely similar bit off Mvade’s xt over jor a 3, and then A. Baunerman made @ leg bit, on which Moran, through his own fault, was run out, in attempting the tuird run, John Hargraves fielding the ball in aud George Newhall handling 1% Cleverly at the wicket.

Mr. Morris’ War- minster-Regardiess colt is another dangerous one in the race, owing to his victory at Jerome Park on the second day of the spring weeling, When in a halfem dusu ona heavy track he beat Beiiada, Harold, D: Sparling and twelve others for the Juvenile Stakes. ‘The others tn the race are considered clippers, and their owners look to their chances good for the rich stakes.
