said they asked him to store a trunk

ODDS 3 TO |
ON RESOLUT:E
Yankee Supporters Have Plenty
of Money in Sight, But Sham
rockers Hold on Wallets.

NEW YORK, July 25.--With the
final contest of the international yacht
race series set for tomorrow, odds of
3 to / on Resolute, Americas entry,
are being offered everywhere, accord
ing to James w. Ball & Co., of Ex-
change place.
Plenty of money to back Resolute
is in sight. but neither the odds nor
the abundance of money seem to af-
feet in the slightest the tight strangle
hold that Shamrock supporters have
on their pocketbooks These are the
highest odds so far offered on
Resolute.
The cause of the postponement OF
yesterdays race was the heavy breeze
of twenty-five or thirty knots which
blew in sharp squalls off the Jersey
shore, and which kicked up a choppy
sea that smothered the bows of the
two big racers.
1t was mutually agreed by the two
shippers that they would rather sail
another race than start their boats
under these conditions that prevailed
and subject them to severe strain of
the squally blow. One or the other
OF the two big racing machines
would have been almost certain to
come to grief.
POsTPONEMENT CRITICISED.
The man along the beach could
not see why today was not very
favorable day for racing. Criticism
OF the postponeemnt was heard on
every hand among the boatmen and
fishermen who live on these waters.
Whether internal conditions aboard
the Shamrock can be rendered less

seen. Dissension over the way the

Each day my work seemed harder

About three months ago I read
