 Little Genuine Betting as Yet.
 In conclusion it may be well to say a word about the betting in New York. which the newspapers over the coun- try have advertised extensively. There has been very little genuine betting on the general result of the election. The New York World after making an tn vestigation expresses its belief that nor more than s25,000 has been wager ed in this city since the Presidential nominations were made. The Evening Post places the amount at not to ex- ceed $20,000. The Republican National Committee, in conjunction-lwith cer- tain Wall Street sharks, is believed to have conceived the scheme of fake bet to create an impression which would be of great help to the committee in ats attempt to carry the country. There is nothing in the political situation to warrant large odds on either candi- date. The professional bookmakers who wager hundreds of thousands of dollars for themselves and others on business yet, nor will they for ten days or two weeks. The big sports, who have their own ways of getting a line on" a political situation, will be heard from after registration in this city has been completed and analysed, and what they consider reliable pointers have been received from up the State and and other of the so so2called doubtful States.
 At this stage of the campaign of 1892 the odds on Harrison were three to one, yet Harrison was showed un- der. Money may talk, but 1t does not always tell the truth.
