Crown - Acme :o: 13 Atlantic Refining Co.9 IlLOOMSBURG STATIONJ BLOOMSBURG ,IA. In a New Tork Fool-Room, The character of the Pool room is regulated by the neighborhood and the character of the habitues. The rough, ragged, and dirty element are to be found in all. The well dressed man is to be found only in certain rooms, especially those near the exchanges. These pool-rooms are under the pro tection ot the law, the book makers being suposed to forward the money to the race-track, and places for their natron for ten cents commission. 1'hey .collect the commission obey . . . . i the letter ot the law but it is ridiculous to suppose that the money is placed at the track. 1 he men in the office are the only men you have any dealings with, and the only men concerned in the .transaction. Some outsiders tell stories of large winnings, but others, who never heard of, lose their all, and families suffer because of the rooms. Some men have not the time or the money to go to the tracks, but the pool-room affords them ample opportunity to lose the little they possess. Human nature is strongly portrayed in thess places. Humor sometimes is found. Some horses are burdened with such strange, inappropriate names that it is a wonder they are able to run a mile. Public, famous, and historic names are drawn upon to designate the horse. Pet names, Indian names, and unpronounceable combinations of letters are called into service. The English dictionary is used, and sometimes it seems as though the owners had searched the Sanskrit of the Maliabharata to find some sort of appellation. Some ordinary names are funny under certain conditions, a when the announcer calls out: 'Head light leads." "Indiarubber in the stretch." The latter is an old joke with horsemen, but it never fails to arouse a laugh when those really leads. A very funny incident happened dur ing the present season. Two horses with similar name were in one race. Stonenell and Stonemason were the two, and on one(Iforget which) were "long odds," while the other was a "short horses." Stonenell, lor example, was 8 to 5, while Stone mason was 20 to 1 to win. A young man at the pool-rooms mit up four dollars on Stonemason, h iving a faint very faint, chance to win eighty dollars The race was run, Stonenell in the lead all the time, Stonemason not heard from. At the finish, however, the man called out, "Stonemason wins." The young man with the ticket was simply enraptured. With out waiting for verification from the race track, he invited a friend out to celebrate the luck. While the young man was absent word was received over the wire that the operator had made a mistake, and that Stonenell had won. The change was made on the board, and the returns having been made straight, the tickets were paid. At this juncture the happy youth returned and looked up at the board, and nearly collapsed. "What's the matter ? "asked his frieud. "Matter!" he cried. "Don't you see ? Stonemason wasn't in it. I didn't think he would win: but after the race was announced, with Stone mason winner, I spent every single cent I had in celebrating;" and he went forth broken in heart and pocket. That is the way that nearly every body goes out of the pool room if they tempt fortune long enough.
