While in Australia Cannon also defeated Jack Connor and Harry Dunn. Cannon now returned to England, but found no opponents, and after a brief stay at home again sailed for the States, June, 1888, and fulfilled se,·eral lucrati,·e engage· ments, and next year (1889) took pa. nge on the French Transatlantic liner "La Normandie,'' to Havre, and thence proceeded to Paris, where he was in ·tantly engaged to appear at the Folies Bergere, at a salary of 12,000 francs per month, equivalent to about £480. ·while wre ·tling here, Cannon met and defeated all the best men in France, including Pietro Delmas, Fournier, Feli.· Bernardt, Bezin, etc. Cannon next made a tour of Belgium, and did not meet a ingle reverse.
