known Alexandria sporting man. who is
interested in business at st. Asaph, took
the Shepard end of the wager, while E.
L. Smathers, of New York, through Tom
Young. Of Murphy & Co, of this city,
took the Low end. The money was put
into the hands of a reputable stakeholder.
and will be turned over to the winner on
Wednesday.
This bet is said to have been the largest
individual wager made during the cam
paign here or elsewhere. 1t is true that
sums in the neighborhood of $4,000 have
been bet in New York on the result there,
but these amounts have been in the ma
from several sources. Mr.. Hill has bet
his own money exclusively, and is the
only one directly interested in the Shepard
end of the bet.
Several bets ranging from $50 to $500
were placed yesterday The odds last
evening were ten to eight that Low would
win. There seemed to be plenty OF money
ready to be wagered on both sides.
well-known stock broker said to a Times
reporter last night that the best-informed
gambling people believed that Shepard
would win, yet there was an undercurrent
of I.ow money in sight that could not De
accounted for. Low money could be had
