Bids Put Up Yesterday Aftsrhoon.

Yesterday afternoon a prominent sculler
Of Wheeling, and lover Of the fino art OF
rowing, met In. Bridgeport. Ia the course Of
rather animated conversation, the promi.
nent souller, who was no other than Mr..
James Manton, said that he had a man,
he WAS willing to wager bis money, II not the
clothes no wore, who could beat the winner
OF Saturdays race.
"Do you mean Weitgsrber?" asked the
lover Of the tine art OF rowing. t CAS-
swell, tsaid Manton, after drawing deep
breath and wAd OF money QUIT OF his pocket,
II am willing 10 match my man against
him." %" ,"t.aF

dent Of Wheeling" ..rs.s z.
"Oh, he's q Wheeling man." said Manton,
with a twinkle In bis eye; land he Ia daisy"
added Jimmy. 57@'
by this time the little coterie OF iamilla,e
were somewhat excited, as they wondered
who In the name OF the great sculls the great
unknown was. This inierest was increased
by Mr.. Manton's assurance OF the ability oil
his man TO win as get forth In q long Bpesch
on the capabilities OF oarsmen In general.
vi you assert that the man you back Is q
Wheeling oarsmap," said the lover OF rowing,
II will 90 you" .l
"Here then Is $25 forfeit. which I'll put ur
in Charley Millet's hands, the race to be fol
$780," M
"Who Is your MANI" 6an
"Why, 'Stoey' Ritz" said Manton with Q
smile that as much as said, cover 1t now Il
you dare" f'' -mE .E
The gentleman to whom Mr.. Manton hai
been addressing his remarks, which turnee
into defiant nature, no longer controlled
his pocket book, but promptly covered th
$?5 forfeit, And told Jimmy that he woult
see him later about the particulars.
"When will we row?' asked the lover o
rowing. .,s
zone week after the Weisgerber. Clato
race, II you want tor answered Manton.
SWELL settle that by aud BY" said tn
hacker Of Weisgerber,. as he left the crowd Il

Several persons we'll informed 10 boatin,
circles, who were present at this interview eI
pressed their surprise that Ritz Bhoult
aspire to such high game, and wondered a
the assurance OF Manton. Weisgerber ha
rowed twelve races, ont OF which he has loa
three. Kitz's record has not been of a chs,
acter to astound bis friends, although he he
done some creditable work. 7
