Crack-Lcw.

In the testimony in the recent trial for mail rob.
berry, 1t was stated thatrsome of the parties were
one day engaged in q game of ''crack-lew This
to many, ourselves among Others was new game.
and enquiry was made as to what sort of game
it was, and how it was played. After diligent in
vestigation into the matterwe learn that the game
consists of the throwing up pieces of money high
enough to touch the ceiling and allowing them to
fall on the floor. The parties engaged each throw
up their pieces, and 1hat one whose piece lies
nearest or most completely over the crack" or
seam in the floor, takes the pools e. all the mo
ney that lies on the floor This is cracklew. It's
very popular in Hanover--may have been played
by Henry Clay In his unbfeeched mill-boy days;
and has one merit not possessed by all games of
the day. and that is that it is perfectly fair 1t will
possibly become more popular through this trial
