This was an old welsened and wrinEled fellow
who knet on his knees IN the hard clay back
OF tho Pimlico track yesterday; one OF those
unfortunate nevcr-do-well tramps who seem TO

rable looking oh ect. His thin ana worn clothing
which had once been OF ustrous black, was faded
and rent In places aud very shabby TO look at.
An old napless hat adorned his many brow, ana his
linen was concealed from tho public gaze at Pimnco
And yet he was merry and amusing sccundrei IN
his way and had rcpartce or joke for every one
that he succeeded In getting shilling from The
game which he superlntended was q singular yet
simple one. Before him on The cay bank,
which was surroun cd by q hundred eager
and gaping Maryanders, was placed smooth plank
Of pine wood about foot and hali wide and eight
feet long. AT one end or this plank the Cuckncy-
for he was evidently poor s.ld wrctched specimen
or that class which London spews forth from her
dens through the seerages OF tho emigrant ships
had placed three objects CT wood about six inches
nigh, which looked Ike miniature ten-piEs. They
were ranged across tho board. and preparatory TO
. shot being made with the small wooden ball
which our English friend held n one hand
and now and then tossed to another, ne mea-
sured the distance between each pin by the ball

to pass between tho pins without Knocking them
down. H a Dyssander took shot ana Knocked
down but one pin ho received nothing, while the
