NEW YoRK, November lS.-In this city
the liveliest interest is taken in the Han
lan.Trickett boat race, to be rowed on the
Thames on Monday. In the pool.rooms
here the betting is $40 to IS in Hanlan's
favor, and these were some quite heavy
transactions at these rates.
A London special to the Toronto Ertn.
ing Telegram received here says: "HGnlan
this morning Saturday. is in the pink OF
condition. He turns the scales at l52
pounds, and will row at 1853 pounds. He
strips bigger and better than when he was
on the Tyne side. He has no fear OF the
return OF the stitch, as he tested himself
with a sustained burst OF full speed yester-
day, and was fully satisfied. He will likely
row in the swaddle boat, being afraid OF
Warren's boat as too delicate for pound
ing race. Hanlan said further that whether
the stitch came back or not he would row
the race through TO the end II he never
got into boat again, or never got out OF
the one he was in"
The Teltgrdn,'s correspondent confesses
the difficulty in getting direct information
from the Trickett party, hut Is satisfied
that "Australia" is in perfect condition.
He satisfies Kelly, the cutest waterman In
England, by bursts Of speed at practice.
The correspondent can learn OF no trial oi
his over all the distance. He believes the
Australians are backing Trickett on their
own opinion, supported by Kelly'a judg-
ment.
The Australians this morning call the
Hanlan party "hard up for money" " but are
slow to give odds, though this afternoon
will likely see change. The Tyne men,
Canadians and Americans stand by Han.
Ian, and the Australians and Thames men
back Trickett.
In Toronto the excitement is very great
and large sums are being telegraphed this
week, and $780, 900 at least has crossed the
Atlantic from this city and country. The
betters are clubbing. Even merchants are
telegraphing their agents TO put on money
Much money, says the Telegram, has been
placed by people who never before bet and
by people who would bet on nothing bu,
Hanlan to win. Unfortunately for Han
Ian, in case OF defeat, the class that is sure
to cry fraud has largely backed him.
B. s. Thompson, Of Melbourne, arrived
in this city on Thursday with his pockets
full OF money to bet on Trickett. HI
started of by depositing $4,000 apiece II
Lovell's and Kelly & Bliss pool rooms t
be bet at odds Of $50 to S100 against Han
Ian.
The word was passed around among
betting men, and this evening the pool
rooms were crowded with sporting men
Thompson was on hand and he tool
every bet offered at the above figures.
John Newell aud Dick Roach, OF Pitts
burgh, put up for themselves and thell
friends $25, 900 on Hanlan.
John Hackett, the well known sporting
man OF this city, bet $40 900, and,soon unit
from $4,000 to $4,000 were up, then thl
New Workers gave out, but the man from
Australia showed no signs whatever o
weakening and seemed 10 have plenty o
cash left. There Is much betting to.nigh
In all tho clubs and hotels. The lates
quotations being 500 to $50 and 500 OF
Hanlan.
