EASTERN DISPATCHES.

NEw YoRK, Sept. l6.-Ths Interns.
tional match excited no little interest
among sporting men. At the various
pool rooms yesterday a lively business
was done. The result. of the first day 8
shooting had made the Scotchmen the
favorites, with Irish ID and Americans
Sd choice. This was the general state
of affairs when the firing at the 800 yards
range commenced, but the Americans
still had numerous friends who would
not desert them even when they were so
far behind in the race and occasionally a
pool was sold in which they figured as
favorites, such instances however, were
unfrequent during the earlier part Of the
day, and indeed most of the pools sold
show that the betting fraternity at least
entertained grave doubts as 10 the re.
suit Of the match aud were governed al
most entirely by reports OF the progress
of the match transmitted to the pool
rooms by telegraph. At Johnsou's du-
ring the latter portion Of the day the
pools were of u varied character, Scotch,
Irish and Americans figuring in turn as
favorites, the two former being princi-
pals. When the result of the shooting
at the 800 yards range was announced
the Scotchnen sold against the field at
S24 to 81, and later on when it became
known that the Americans were recover
ing rapidly following pools were sold:
Americans $40 and $143, Scotch $24 and
S2S, field--Irisb, Canadian and Austral-
ian-S25. From this point until the
close the pools sold were generally at
abont the same average, the American
team being always the favorite. The
highest amount paid at this establish
ment for tickets on the Americans was
$3.50. In the French pools the Ameri-
cans, Scotch aud Irish were very nearly
even.
Nearly all journals are hilarious that
the Centennial trophy remains with the
Americans. Great satisfaction is also
expressed that the Irish were I'd and
Scotch 81.
At the Turf Exchange the Scotchmen
and lrlshmen were alternately favorites
in the pools before the shooting at the
800 yard range, the Americans being
scarcely anything during the fire at
middle range; the latter however became
favorites and had the first place till the
close, selling generally at about 100 to
20 against both Scotch and Irish teams.
The following French pool sold yester-
day at this establishment will show the
degree of favor in which the different
teams were held Americans $75, Irish
$78, Scotch 1874, Canadian ST., Austria
liap 50. The amount of hedging done
during the day was very noticeable and
clearly demonstrated the fact that more
than few had concluded they were out
in their reckoning.
At Morrisseys Exchange the following
is sample of the pools sold during the
morning. Scotch 800, Irish $50, Amer
lean $50, field 10. Later in the day pools
were sold; the Irish team having first
choice at 300, the Scotch next place at
$35, and fields $l5-containing Canadian
and Australian teams-ths Americans
being left out altogether. Here as at
other rooms however, the Americans

ing at the 900 yard. and one of the latest
pools sold had them for first choice at
500 against field containing the others
at $36. 1t is estimated that at least
500, 900 changed hands during the day,
but the amount is probably much larger.
The Times Boston special says:
Adams has not yet been notified of the
nomination. 1t is rumored he wont
accept.
