His earliest a.ovemeints in Sydney were made pleas- ant to bias. Homes, carriages or bug- gies were placed at his disposal. His health was drunk with times three in Sowing bumpers of "Moet'• and "Gold top." He was lionised right regally, he eras the "observed of ell observers." His photographs were easterly purchased, his name was on every lip, and even the fair area crowded around the windows of the chapel shops, to study his face and re, and peered anxiously as if they would tarn dtac.ver the hidden screw paddies in his boat, or the mechanism whereby, as the cockneys of Londe.n had said, he propelled his boat. Shortly after arrival, Hanlan gave set tral ll'•Llr ISRI•ITIONe ef his skill in handling a bort, and at Manly Beach, a beautiful little village on the north shore of Port Jackson, after one such exhibition before many thous- ands of people, a young Australian lad who was palling about for his own amusement challenged the champion of the world for "a spin," Hanlon to pull stern first in • skit. The twelve year- old cornstalk of course wcn, and as his father put it, "fify word, but he did blow a bit about it." This was Harden's first defeat in Australia. The man was Neat- en by the boy, but the public believed that Harlan sold that race, that he pur- y let the lade Australian oarsman ; but they also believe, which is far more important to his countrymen, that it was not only the first race he has aver lost intentionally in his life, but that hs is incapable of ever doing so in the future. Australians hare the most implicit oonfdence in Hanlon, and he hasy admitted that they have • hint im ample proof, not only of this, but of their willingness to back "their opinion" of his to a large pecuniary ex- tent Hanlaa'a exhibitions were so well patronized, that they must have been peee.iarly renumerstiri to him.

Starting with a a101wn babies, all scratched lair at the starting pest of lite of pours., sad following them thrombi' their juern y of existence, this is ablest what oet would se. : "Nearly 160,000 of those drop out of the ranks by the sod of the first year while 12 months late the number would be further thinned by the deduction of 53.000 more. Twenty-eight thousand would follow at the end of the tired sea- son, and lees than 4,000 st the end of the 19th year. They monk threw up the sponge by twos end threes until the end ut the 45th year, when in the interven- ing period something like 600,000 had left the track. Sixty years would seer 370,000 gnyheaded men still cheer- fully pegging away. At the at end of 80 years the competitors in this great 'go-..you-ploew' would number 37.000, but they would be getting more shaky and 'dotty' each lap. At the end of 93 seasons 223 only would be left in the final 'ties,' while the winner would be led into his retiring nom a solitary wreck at the age of 108." There is something grimly humorous in this quaint array of figures, but they are founded on statistics carefully own piled by the greatest tiring authority on the subject.

The circumstance, as he recognized that the o'enhadowiug Nemesis of his appar- ently impending fate was the Toomki, Beach's steamer, gave him a shock which quickly caused him to obey the maxim, "discretion is the better part of valor." Beach as. the steamer, saw Hanlan dash away from her, and he, tow, made • des- perate spurt and once again caught up to Haulan, his oar touched the stern of Hanlon s treat.

Under such a combination of untoward circumstances, nine hundred and ninety- nine then out of • thousand would have been rendered unfit to pull another stroke, but Hanlan was the one excep- tion. He is of the kind of stuff that in a gold cause "dies game." He is a des- cendant of the "die herds," who fought fur the country when Nelson unfurled the flag of victory, and shouted, "Eng land expects this day that every man will do his duty." HANLAN 'MOWED HIS TtETH to his enemies on board the Toomki, and with unflagging pluck pulled on, this time, however, and every stroke he gave showed be knew it, after Beach. Every- body knows that "a stern chase is a hog chase," particularly when your adversary has practically gut a good 300yard/istart The Toomki crisis, the stop to claim a foul, had caused Hanlan to give Beach this lead, and he never was able to re- cover the lest ground.
