Novel Wager Over America's Cup Draws Boston Heat
Neal E. McPeck and Oscar Simmons created a carnival bet on Shamrock II winning the America's Cup. The loser must wheel the winner in a wheelbarrow from 60 State Street to the Hotel Lenox in a brass band procession, wearing dress clothes and a tall hat. The winner may add weight to the wheelbarrow. The bet, likely around $200, includes a dinner for 12 at the Lenox. Colonel William Weir may lead the parade and ride back to North Square in an auto.
