American champion, which Is. to be Towed
traeting great interest, and never before was
there SO much betting done on boat race, OF
long odds offered, as the Americans are giV-
Ing on their champion
Elliott has found Hanlan's peculiar style Of
rowing is d failure, and has resumed his own
style, thlnktng he can make better time.
Heavy betting continues. EIliotks hackers
and admirers readily accept all offers. Bets
OF E10O TO ESQ are offered by Messrs. Ward,
Davis and Renwiek and others OF Hanlan's
American admirers.
Both men are in steady training. Elliott
appears to be In the best of condition; and he
rows over the course daily and takes little
exercise on land. Hanlan seldom rows the
friends and book makers watch his practice
to lind how fast he can rev. Hanlan 1s only
few pounds heavier than when he rowed
against HoHden, but he Is In better condition.

American wHgered E20D to Et00, three times,
that Hanlan would win.

time over the course, which has made his
hackers confident that he will win.

other great match. John Higgins, the noted
Thames oarsman, has issued d challenge to
row the winner OF the Elliott a and Hanlan race
