Of Hanlan’s future mevements litile is known. After attending the regatta at Manchester, and witnessing the Nicholson- Plaisted race on Monday next, he will take ship for home. Arriving here, he, of course, will be subject toa series of ova- tions, which being over, he will probably settle down for a month or so of well- earned rest. In August he may take part in a regatta at Barrie, and later he will row ina grand professional sculling race cn Toronto Bay, to be given by tne Hanlan Club in honor of the Vice-Regal visit. There is little likelihood of his going to Australia te meet Trickett, but it is prob- able he will offer the champion of the world extraordinary liberal expenses to row here. Failing Trickett, there are no ether champions for him to conquer ; and unless Courtney sheuld court anether defeat, he will perforce be compelled to rest on his laurels until he shall have staled a bit and some younger oarsman shall come to the fore with pluck enough to offer battle. At Ottawa it is proposed to invite the cham- pion to enter into a match against time, but that is a species of contest for which he will probably have ro stomach, It has too much of the trotting-horse character about it. Of course he will be able to give exhi- bition races, and that he will prebably do, providing the prizes are made weighty enough.

A match has been arranged between Elliott and Robert Beyd, on the Tyne, for £200 a side, four months hence.

Mr. Annear’s Unfortunate Vote.
To the Editor of the Examiner.
Sin,— During the last session of our Pro- vincial Parliament, some of the new mem- bers have made themselves prominent by the utter recklessness with which they broke their pledges to the electors.
But the mest conspicuous of these is a man by the name of Themas Annear, who, during the election campaign, was leud in his denunciations against the Legislative Couacil as being useless, expensive and of no good whatever. ‘The moment this mighty giant of People’s Rights is elected, he turns his coat, supports a motion to re- tain the Council, and even goes so far as to say that ‘‘ the views of the electcrs must be had on so important a question.” Consist- ent Annear ! who has bewitched you, that you should deceive the electors !
No later than the 25th March last, Mr. Annear, at a meeting held at Valleyfield, gave out the famous words, ‘‘ ll stick to my election card.” But his sticking pro- pensity is miserably deficient—particularly when the pocket isin the way. I am told that Annear is having mighty bright boots in the city. These ave are things we are not used to see him wear. Might not scme one in Opposition supply him with shoe- blacking, and the consequence be a broken pledge !
Any M. P. who has pledged himself to support ‘‘any constitutional — measure introduce to abolish the Legislative Council” and fails to do so is a traitor, and a traitors doom should be pronounced upon him, and is pronounced upon our political Judas Iscariot ; Thomas Annear, M. L. C. I fear, like the Judas of old, “he carries the purse,’ and takes whatever is offered him, from a box of the blacking upwards.
The. electors were aware that in Thomas Annear they had a man who loved his pocket better than his country; but they wished the country to understand, that, they, as the electors of the second Electoral District of King’s County for the Legislative Council, wished the Council abolished. O, the wailings of this political Judas for the poor farmer M. L. C. for being brought at such an unseasonable time from their hones, to legislate for the good (/) of their country; so wild were his lamentations, that the electors thought that, if he had the power, he would crash the Council out of existence that very moment for the sake of his dear farm. After he had occupied the cushioned chair for a short time, he found it so com- fortable, that nethiag short of a large bribe, I believe, would make him ‘‘ get up and git.”
The fact is, he lacks in almost all the qualities that a statesman should possess.
A statesman should have no broken pledges te answer for ; he should serve his country before his pocket or self-glorifica- tion. The affix, no doubt, had a good deal te do with Annear’s conduct on the Council question, as you see he was to lose all his fitles, ete. But what are titles, if character is not there, if the finger of scorn is printed th: man saying ‘‘ there goet the man known only for broken pledges, the country has no faith in him, he has deceived the country, for the sake of an empty title, and, per- haps, a paltry, but almighty dollar.” I would rather respect the most humble of men, than such a man as that; but men of that stamp we have got. We have a man who, with a smiling face, solicited our votes, and who, with tears in his eyes, told us of the sufferings of the poor farmer, alas! alas! Can this be the human being that voted for a continuance of our suffer- ings? A whole constituency answers ‘‘that’s the man, down with him, down with him. The man is Thomas Annear.
The Presbyterian man tries hard to de- fend Messrs. Eurns and Annear; but he fails most signally. Can the Presbyterian man see the difference between Mr. An- near’s card and his vote en the Council Bill? I caninform the Presbyterian man that electors of this place de not want him to dictate to their representatives. The only excuse that Mr. Annear has for vio- lating his pledge to the electors, is that he was cae on by Mr. Lawsen, who desired him to voteas he did. Is it a fact, Mr. Lawson ?
Knowing, Mr. Editor, that Mr. Annear will be-dealt with as he deserves,
I remain, yours, &c.,
