Prom the Boston Giob.

Prom the Boston Globe.
The latest and seemingly authoritative news
from abroad that Lord Dunraven had definitely
decided to challenge for the America Cup will
be received with pleasure not only by American
yachtsmen, but by large portion OF the general
public who take interest In the sport when an
international match is on hand. and who can
always be counted upon To furnish The requisite
amount OF enthusiasm. challenge has been
deemed almost certainty for some weeks past,
but II Is good to have the matter settled. and to
feel that the season of 1895 holds promise OF
sport which was lamentablv lacking In the sea-
son OF 1894.
II is good also TO know the size of boat with
which Lord Dunraven will challenge. and "a
large nmber OF those interested in yachting will
undoubtedly be glad that he has decided to
come over with boat OF almost the Britsnnia's
size, one which will allow the present fleet OF
s5-footers to come into competition for cup de-
fence with any new boats which may be built.
As has already been said many times in these
columns there are many and good reasons why
70-fOOter Was preferable to an S5-fOOter, but
with an S5-fOOL fleet already in existence the
chief difficulty In going TO a 7O-footer has been
the barring OF the present boats. The New
York Yacht Club has always adhered 20 the
principle Of racing for the cup only with the
fastest possible boats, and in all the discussion
or possible 1U-IOOt challenger there has been
strong undercuTrent OF feeling that the smaller
size should not be adopted while larger and
probably faster boats were lying idle. Or, 10
put the matter briefly, a championship cup
should be raced for BY champion boats, the fast

JeFerse. Farmers Against II.

advocates probably expected It would receive.

largo majority Of the voters opposed to this
proposition. and It Is not unlikely that their
votes will be recorded against It on election day
BY many this proposed amendment is looked
spon as a bid for the votes Of church people in
favor Of the apportionment and other partisan
features of the proposed Constitution. Others
consider IL an unwarranted Interference with
the personal liberty Of the citizen.
The greatest opposition to the betting amend
ment comes from the farmers. The reason Is
that u strikes at the treasury Of their county
Agricultural societies. In this county last year
the agricultural society received something
over $500 through the operation of the Ives
Pool law. This sum went a long way toward
paying premiums on exhibits. 1t WIN be cut of

feature Of the proposed Constitution was much
discussed by members of the Watertown Pro-
duce Exchange at q recent meeting here and the
prevailing sentiment was that the Constitu-
tional Convention had gone out of its way to
make a show Of virtue In passing the betting
amendment and that many votes would be
corded against the revision for this reason.
Tho present indications are that a majority of
the people In this part of the State will be
against the Revised Constitution.

st. Lawrence Farmers Think Ii Would
Hurt Their Fairs.

OGDEssBURo, Oct $3.50 far can be ascer-
tanned at present, the sentiment OF this section
of the State is opposed 10 the proposed constitu-
tional amendment prohibiting book making and
pool selling. Those citizens of st. Lawrence
county who are interested In successful agricul-
tural fairs, and they include the majority have
learned from experience that speed trials upon
the track very important features of the fairs
and that II would be next 10 impossible to carry
them on without allowing pool selling and book

The excitement over the gubernatorial con-
test will undoubtedly draw the attention OF
electors from the question of the revision of the
Constitution, and the result may be that many

The Majority In TomPkins County Opposed
IN

ITHACA, OCT 20.-A Sun correspondent has
interviewed n large number Of representative
men throughout Tompkins county regarding
the proposed amendment to the State Constitu-
ton prohibiting betting. The most notable re-
suit OF the conversations was the discovery of
astonishing Ignorance by intelligent men of any
and all the merits Of the proposed amendments.
They had read Of the various propositions de-
bated In the Constitutional Convention, but had
lost track of them since. The daily and weekly
papers have published the amendments In sup
plements but, as many business men said,
they had no time to wade through them"
The people of this county are a sport-loving
people and very much interested in horse racing.
A great many Of the gentlemen interviewed
when they read the betting amendment de-
clared that 1t was simply a hit at the Ives Pool
law, and IL enacted would be a blow
at the breeding of thoroughbred horses. They
did not believe that the members OF the
Constitutional Convention proposed this amend
for political effect They believe that
to prohibit betting would be practically an
encroachment upon personal rights. Sen
Boys pay said another one @ff tE sntif mean
what they say why not begin at the Stock Ex-
change ?" asked prominent horse owner.
Many farmers, when they learned what tho
effect OF the amendment and of the annulment
of the Ives law won Id be on the treasury OF the
county agricultural society, Immediately put
on war paint to defeat the amendment, for IL
there Is one thing the average granger Is solicit
Gus about IT. is the good financial condition OF the

or course there Is not unanimity OF opinion
against the amendment. A great many persons
were extremely bitter against the Ives law but
It is evident that majority OF the men OF wide
experien and liberal views, who are accus-
toned 70 look at all sides of questions. are in
favor OF killing the amendment In question.

Ths sentiaest n Ulster Seems 60 ne
Against II.

KISGsroS, Oct. 90 The betting amendment
TO the Constitution Is likely to cause many peo-
pie in this city and Ulster county to vote against
tho entire Constitution. Tho sentiment Of tho
vast majority Of the people here who have given
the matter any consideration seems to be against
the amendment. Many persons. and not those
only who are interested in horses. characterize
the amendment as ridiculous and say that. even
II II becomes law, II will I've impossible 10 en-
force II. As rule the Republicans have little
TO say about the matter. but not few have come
out openly against what they call silly attempt
to abolish a thing which can never wholly DO
done away with.
The church people have taken no special inter-
est In the amendment, and II Is not probable
that any organized effort to work for IL will he
made. In fact, there are few churches in this
city that do not hold fairs at which some kind OF
mild gambling is one OF the attractions.
A prominent church member OF this city. who
takes no interest whatever in horse racing and
frQwns very decidedly upon all kinds OF gam
bling, said In speaking Of the proposed amend
ment that he would be decidedly In favor OF II IL
he thought IL could be enforced, but in his opin-
ion the prohibition, IL adopted, would be nothing
