One Of these raro instances, where the win
ner was able 10 resist the temptation 10 con-
tnue playing and save hls winnings, occurred
10 this city last week, and has created great
excitement In sporting circles.
The fortunate fellow "a q young man, who
during last winter, was compelled 70 AJAX shell
ter from the cold, Of people whom he could
not call friends, for then he had none. II L.
said he could not borrow q nickel from any
body, because all who knew him thought he
could not repay them ON account Of his ex-
trcme poverty. He was so hard up at one
time duringdhe winter that he could not buy
q shlrt to wear, and for weeks went about
with hls shirt buttoned around the neck TO
hide the mixed fact that he had no shirt
About slH weeks since he gct possession Of

luck al faro, and no acted accordingly.
At the first citing no won upward of ~, 800
and this gave him start He deposited all
tho money eocurely and returned 70 play the
same bank another game, and ct this sitting
won about goo, when tho bank Refused 20
allow him TO play longer, and closed up. He
tackled tho Tiger In other dens, and again
and again with the same remarkable luck,
until last Tuesday night when, for the INST
time, tide Of fortune changed, and he lost
f000. AZ subsequent encounter he pockoted
over 10000, His aggregate winnings In the
last siI weeks amount 30 go, 200, and on yes-
tertlAy he announced hls arm determination
10 renounce gambling forever, and proposes
10 mako good use Of tho money. He gave an
unfortunate brother e6,O00, and has Invested
largely In real estate. One good feature Of
the affair Ia that nv HIS fnrtunnfo atreak Of

might be added that he ls no longer shlrtloss,

10 bed without q terrapln or oyster supper and
who was mover known to be drunk, died OF

THE CHORAL soCIETY's CoSCERT.-Lincoln
Hall was well filed on Saturday night at the
concert given by the Choral Society for the
benefit Of the Richmond sufferers. The pro-
pramme embraced many choice selections,
and was finely carried out. The society wa
assisted by Mcsdames Droop and stosch, Pro
fessors Benkert, Collierc and Richter, and
Master Eugene KiockhGfer, the boy yiollnist'
The greatest enthusiasm prevailed among the
audience, and nearly every selection upon the
programme was encored. Ms. Droop, In re,
sponse to an encore, sang the Last Rose Of
Summer" most cxqulsitely.
Prof. Benkert performed Thalberg's fantasia
or themes from "Don Groyanpi' with excel
lent effect and as an encore gave a charming
,composition Of his own called "Mazurka de
Ia Refine"
The Bethooven octette Club sang Abb'a
"Venita, and responded to the encore which
followed with 1.-THE Image Of the Rose, Mr..
W. II. Burnett sustaining the tenor solo.
Master KicckhGfer executed DeBeriots "Scena
de Ballet" with wonderful taste and expression,
and Of course was rapturOusly oncOred.
The entire concert was without doubt one
of the most brilliant that has been given here,
and We understand that about s7OO has been
realized, which sum will be at once transmitted
to Richmond.

OF which they were very ungenerously de-
prived. Il grants this class Of officers the

Increase OF expenditure Ia proposed; on the
contrary, by reducing the number Of stan

England provincial life was unpretcndlng
enough in the childhood Of George Pryme,
when q story could be told Of q servant who,
after riding some eighty miles with his master,
exclaimed on reaching York, al didn't think
the world had reached 90 farl" and when a
woman, spinning In her cottage, remarked to
lady who had been telling her OF our
sayiOurs good works and death, "Pray,
ma'am, did you know himl" As an under
graduate Pryme dressed daily for the dinner
at the ball In white waistcoat and white silk
stockings.
There was only one umbrella then ut Cam
bridge, and that was let out by the hour. The
early umbrellas were very clumsy. They
were made Of oiled cloth, were fat, and were
carried by ring fastened TO the top, 80 that
the hands often got dirty. At the dinners
"buxzing" was universal. When the decanter
came round 10 any one, II II was nearly empty,
the next In succession could require him 10
nnlsh H. but II the quantity left exceeded the
bumper, the challenger was Obliged 10 drink
the remainder, and also bumper cut Of the
next fresh bottle. There was throughout
these parties an endeayor 10 make each other
drunk, and pride In being able To resist the
effects Of the wine.
