 The fact that Eristol is short today of minimum of 60 rents, with the 2ctual number probably nearer a. was stated at a meeting Of the Bristol
 Real Estate board held last evening at the Lake Compounce casino. This number would probably he nearer 150 with such conditions prevailing as have been in February and March of 'Glis year
