HOW THEY GAMBLE.

Pooi-Sellng on the Presidential Race-The
Way Sporting Men are Backing Their
Opinions on the Contest-The Influence of
Locality Perceptible in the ODDS.
NEW York, August 10.
The Times in its edition to-day
prints dispatches from twenty-three cit
les, giving the betting at the pool rooms
and elsewhere on the Presidential cleo
ton and showing the chances to be about
equally divided. In Boston Blaine is de-
cldedly the favorite in betting circles, and
odds are offered on him with confidence.
A Butter man authorizes tie Herald to
lut up any purt Of 100000 on B,aine,
and another gentleman stands ready to
stake at Sl00 to SO almost any amouHt
on Blaine. Betting here on the result in
New York is about even, or, If anything,
Cleveland has the call. In Buffalo betting
is near. even, but fayors Blame.
In Philadelphia Cleye and's hackers are
disposed to demand odds, and Blaiue's
hackers are not disposed to give odds. j.
W. Charter, a man of fortune, has bet
OF 3 200 against 5000 that B,aine will be
elected. In Pittsburgh bets have been
booked at pool rooms: $500 even that
Blaine will be elected; 1000 that Cleve-
land will be elected; $500 even that eve-
land will have 900 majority In New
YORK; $1,000 to $500 that Indiana goes
Democratic.
In Baltimore bets have been frequent,
but not many oflarge amounts. There are
NO ODDS OFFERED
on either side. In Richmond, Va, the
bets have with few exceptions been con-
fiued to small amounts. The offers of
81 900 on Cleveland made a week ago,
4. 4
bet 500 that Cleye and will carry New
York by $4,000 majority. In Cincinnati
the betting thus far is all on the result
IN this State in October and in Indiana.
In Cleveland there has been less betting
than usual. A score of bets, in small
sums, even on the general result, and on
New York State, have been made. The
feeling in sporting circles is that it is too
early to 90 in.

The Monaco Gaming Tables,

Monaco is mere than menaced. l have rea-
son to believe that the interview of the Sena-
tors MN. Schoelcher, Hebrard, Pelletan and
Comte dc st. Waller will be followed by an
appeal TO Italy, which will be favorablv re-
cieved, TO aid in putting down the gambling
tables. The Premier will 70, he having prom
ised to do SO, thoroughly into the subject He
was yGrrsy-earnest in not only listening to his
visitors, but in consulting with them
as to the line they thought it most judicious to
follow. Indeed, he said they were forcing an
open door in pointing out TO him the evil con-
sequences of hell such as Monaco. All that
he was uncertain about was the manner in
which the campaign against it should be I'M
dertaken. NJ. de St. Waller said that NJ. Ferry
would not only have the King of Italy, but
Queen Victoria and the German Imperial fam
lily with him. When at Mentone, he added.
the Queen was Mortified at the evidence she
saw Of the degrading iohuence of the tables at
Monaco. Lord Granville, doubtless at her
suggestion, instructed Lord Lyons to aid when
ever he saw an opportunity in the good work
of suppressing the hell. Both the German
Crown Prince and Princess had entreated the
Count when he was Freuch Ambassador at
Berlin TO holp them in getting up diplomatic
crusade against Monaco. Their feelings against
that plague spot were OF late, even deeper than
formerly. NJ. de st. Waller reminded NJ. Ferry
that in the Italian Parliament Signor Manci6i
admitted the right Of France to take the initia-
tive against the tables. A member of the de-
putation has Informed Inc that not long ago
King Humbert expressed himself in the strong
est terms against Monaco, which he had him
self, when at San Reno, thoroughly studied.
He was sure that it was cause of profound
decentralization. Farmers and small shop
keepers aockcd TO it from Northern Italy when
they had little spare money. Gambling clubs
were not SO bad as a public hell. No club had
the advertising power and publicity of hell.
That of Monaco was attractive by its theatri-
cal entertainments, which were Of the highest
artistic order; its pigeon shooting, and sunp.
tuous hotel, in which foreigners were taken
in at loss, which, however was recoupcd by
the roulette. People who had passion for
gambling went to clubs, which did not entice
the general public by varied and brilliant
amusements. Sohoecher said lie regarded NJ,
Blancs kingdom as moral leprosy. The scum
of Europe gathered there, and in banding to-
Gether acquired formidable power to do evil.

of lemon, five miles from the sea and only
twelve miles from Pangah, where they
were last held captive, so that they must
have been led by roundabout paths, to

many huts in this village, built ON posts,
