Iv TelccrpH 10 tlie l'osT-TisrATCTT. rmaso, October 13. All Chicago Is agog this motiiins over the big series between the and the Chicago pets. Betting is the principal topic of conversation among that a largo one here, that admires sports of ai: kinds and principally base bail. For the past few days the interest in the coming games at the White Stocking l'ark has perceptibly increased and speculation oa the result has become peneral.

It uiiht strike one at first that Chicagoans would be apt to carry thoir characteristic egotism to an extent sufficiently wide to induce them to put up their money with a lavish hand on 'Zaby" Ausoa and his pets, but in this respect tho Chicagoaas' better judgment outweighs his iove of self-praise. The act of the matter is that while there been any amount of betting done on the result of the games to bo played at Chicago id St. Louis this week, tnere has not I booked a slc-asros were einglo bet In which the given. a bhade of as money Is concerned, madrt on an even-money- preleronce, so far All je waser? are lais and there are no favorites in the Held. One bookmaker is said to have had $3,000 sent -n from St.

Louis with orders to put is out at even, money on the but if such be the case ho must K1 hi Ming it over for the last two games in series of three games in this city. Xever-t'ne'fss the Browns need no backers in tho principal sporting resorts of the city t' of opinion can, as a rule, bo con. -t red a safe criterion and there to be little choice between the two clubs. The Chicagoans to have a high opinion of the Association's champions as coachers, base runners pnd fielders, and it Is whispered that Anson's Iilca is to win tho games by the bat, if he can. Anson exnrftsses a opinion than ever of the wonderful superiority of the Chicago Club over all others, lie was nursin? three bails a corner of one of the tables in George Siossfn's purior on Monroe street, to-da-, when he button holed by a Post-Dispatch representative.

The big captain must have anricipated tne question, for lie said: "You're froinif to ask me what I ininK about this ain't you? Well, I'll tell you. We're going to beat the Browns in these games just as sure as I'm going to make a point on this position." Awi two little clicks indicated that a point had bten made. "Why do you think so?" "Well, for a number of reasons which I don't Citrs to talk about at present." Wht batteries will you use?" "We'll use Clarkson and Flint and McCor-mick and Kelly, and vi may use Flynn and Kardie. It all depends on how the men will feei on the day of each game. They've been away all week playing exhibition games and 1 guess they are all riiiht, that Is, the batteries, but of course I can't tell until I try.

further, Anson said: "My men aro rot drunk now. They are pertwtly sober and I se no reason why anybody should intimate that we will endeavor to back out on any proposition we make. We will play the f-t. Louis Club on a square basis, and if we beat 'em, we beat 'em; if we don't, we don't, and that's all there's to it." hile Anson's utterances were bombastic as usual, it was very clear that he felt a trifle afraid of tho bnys in brown, and did not sjeak with nearly as much confidence as he did last summer, when he knew the Browns were from hirn bv half a season and a remott) probability, if any, that they would come together in tne fall. Anson paid he ouid probably bacit the team with his own money if anyone was anxious to bet with him, although he had done nothing as yet.

The iii-owns hare been advertised so largely the press the people are over-anxious to see them plav hall and especially to see them piny ball with the Chicagoa. The general feeling as to the final outcome of tne games seems to be one of uncertainty UTiJ doubt and this feeling is very perceptibly expressed in betting, much of which it is Mi l. consists of backing the Browns at even rates and that, too, with Chicago money. The Last of the Series. Tho Browns yesterday afternoon defeated the Maroons at the Union Grounds for the fourth consecutive time in tho fail series.

One of the largest crowds of the season assembled to witness tne game, which was, perhaps the and most exciting of the series The hiviTieible brown-hosed lads proved too much however, for their rivals, and won bv a of 4 to 2 The game was called i-i the eighth inning on account i'' da-Kness alter tho Browns had scored runs, but the score went back to the sev-''ith. i'ut in- hits were made off Hudson' pitched for tho Browns, while llealy oi tiie Maroons was pounded safely seven times i a iiuo scored five errors.

The success of the Exposition since the close of all other festivities has been simply wonderful. No day, or night particularly, has passed without the usual packed Music Hall and crowded houses.

Much of this is due to the ingenuity of the manager and of Col. Gil-more in arranging new and varied entertainment. The city people seem to have come to the conclusion that the exhibition is tho biggest thing on" earth, and they cannot get too much of it. They vie with their country cousins in a desperate attempt to miss nothing. To-day marks the beginning of the end.

It is the first day of the last week and every day-will have some novel leature to commend it to the public. Col. Gilmore promises to make the week memorable in a musical way. He started it to-dav with a melange of light operas, which offere'd Ueliirhtful entertainment to those whose taste in music is natified with melody.

It is a collection of utility and beauty which has never been surpassed and is 'always surrounded by throng of interested spectators.

Those who have not seen the interesting display of John Meier, where every detail of the process of making shoes is thoroughly illustrated should visit it before the close of the Exposition.
