POOL SELLING ON THE ELECTION.


It is long time since there has been much
element round the neghborhood of Twenty eighth
street, az during the day and up to late hour last
evening hundreds OF people have been crushing In and
out of the pool rooms For the being horses
forgotten and the money is now being put up on tho
human race nd judging from the way it rattes into
the poobox the latter kind Of speculation the call
with the multitude. The betting has not kept even
throughout the day, the different
didates have gono up and down in the market
as their friends came and left the pool room. The
favorie appeared to be the contest between Nor
rssey and Fox for State Senator. On Saturday
ing Morrissey closed avorte at about 100 to 65 and
early yesterday morning he still had the CALL but
gradually Fox's friends mustered in force, and large
were invested last night at 100 to 70 Fox. IL
you ask spectators the of the change they
hardly appear be able explain it, but hint that the
Church is giving Fox helping hand. The State ticket
looks pretty sure, 100 to so bet freely
Bigelow getting $4,000 majority and 200 TO
10 also wagered Hackett obtaining
5000 majority. The betting between Hackett and
Smythe let up considerably toward evening as the
friends of the latter did not risk their money unless
against q majority Gdersleeve had hundreds OF
supporters and in the opinion Of many he will run far
made that Hackett would run ahead of
Phelps, and late in the evening bet OF 500 to
400 was made the way. The speculation in
the race for Senator between Nichols and Booth was
pretty lively, the former being the favorite
at about 200 to ITO, although at Keys they sold even
up. Phelps iavorite Olney at about 100 to
/ 70 The three pool rooms Johnson's, kclly's and
Thomas, crowded all throughout the evening,
and in the former it nearly impossible to crush
through the crowd in order to make bid. Money was
flying into the box at about the ratio OF 600 hour
and on rough estimate the three pool rooms must
have taken 500 600 during yesterday afternoon
morning and continue up the closing Of the polls.
