THE ROSS-SMITH RACE.

Hauirax, Aug. 22.

_ The interest in the Smith-Ross boat-race is becoming intense, and betting has com- menced in earnest. Ross is the favorite, and a large number of Halifax men,are bet- ting on him. Several American boating men have arrived, and more are expected from Toronto and Boston. Both men are practising ; Ross three times and Smith twice a day. The weather yesterday and to-day has been very favorable. Smith looks a little thin and does not wear that

jaunty air which was se characteristic of him before the Silver Lake race with Morris.

He appears to take great interest in Ross’

practice, and eagerly watches his spins over the course. Heis stopping at a private house on Bedford Road, a quarter of a mile

from Birch Cove, off which will be the

starting points. Ross is staying at Ward's Three Mile House, almost opposite the | turning buoy. ‘The starting is from a buoy

off Birch Cove, a mile and a half straight

down, toa buoy off the Three Mile House.

In former races the starting buoy was put

down where the turn will now be made.

The change has been made so as to have

smooth water at the turning point. It is

well protected by the shore, and if the

water is smooth in any part of the basin it

will be at this point.
