MOSTLY “FAKE BETS.” The Van Wsck Odds According to a Tarfman From New Yor! “In my humble opinion,” said one of the horsemen at the Benning race track to a Star reporter today, ‘‘Roosevelt will be elected. The contest in New York between Van Wyck and him, I'll admit, is about as uncertain as a horse race, but it seems to me to be a race between a stake horse and a selling plater, with the conditions just right for the crack-a-jack, which in this event is Teddy. The owners of the other starter are, I confess, a set of real smart people, and those who back him will get & ride for their money, but I can't, for the life of me, see what right he has to beat Platt’s entry. The odds they are singing out on Croker's are all for effect. Odds don’t win races, for a 1 to 10 shot is just as liable to go wrong as one at 10 to 1. Such things are happening about every day, and then, again, the price on Van Wyck is a false one. I'm just from New York, and I've seen enough to know that most of these swell bets you hear of on the Tammany starter are fakes—simply given out to catch the suckers. [t's about an even thing, this New York race, at the best, and the professional layers of odds, espe- cially those in thet village, you can wager, are not giving any 10 to 7 on Croker’s en- try, They are too educated for that. The Croker people are simply making a great hurrah. trying to win the race before the But the Roosevelt crowd will ag the hurrah after the race, and be the people. it looks to me, who'll h their tickets. If you fancy Tammany’s ntative don't give beiter than even nd if you are sweet on Platt’s take all the 10 to 7 and 10 to 8 and s against him in sight. But stable, 1 to 9 pri i yowll hear of more of those odds against Teddy than you'll see.” —— Time Extended. Mr. O. T. Crosby, president of the Poto- mae Electric Power Company, has been netified by the District Commissioners that they have granted the company an exten- sion of thirty days in which to complete its installation of non-ground circuits.

The launch contained five men, who were rescued by spectators and brevght to thé city. They did not teii their names or the nam>2 of their craft, and took passage on the ferry boat for Wash- ington, but this morning it was discovered that the launch was the Little Nell of Washington. At low tide she is entirely expesed to view and is apparently not se- riously damaged. River men declare that the old hulk has beer a danger to navigation for years and should be removed. A number of instances were cited when small craft had been dam- ed by it.
