BETTING IN BOSTON.

There is a Cleveland boom among
betting men, and although the bets
are not made with great rapidity it
is noticed that all the hesitation is on
the Harrison side. Col. Luke Cass
gave odds of $4,000 to 81, 900 on Cleve-
land, a jamaica Plain man taking
the Harrison end. Ed McAvoy
placed $1,000 in different sums Of
Cleveland's success, giving odds Of
$40 to 81. He said he is ready to take
$1,000 more at the same odds. Mike
Gleason offered 81 900 even on Cleve
land, but found no takers Jimmy
Colville says he will take any part Oh
the whole of the 81 900 at the odds Oi
$4,000 to $1,000 offered by Capt
Mahern last night. An enthusiastic
Cleveland man says that the leather
merchants on High street have
started u big pool to bet on Cleve
land. 1t is reported that the Presi
dent will get the support of many
old-time Republicans in the Leather
district.
