The Brace Game.

Brace game is term applied to houses
in which they pretend to deal faro, but
in which the player really has no chance
whatever to win, In brace house there
is no square" faro dealt. The dealer
takes two cards from the deahng-bex
whenever be chooses TO do so. The box
is arranged so that the dealer can press
on lever fastened to the inside of the
box in the right hand corner. When
the lever is pressed by the finger, the
mouth Of the box is opened so as to
allow two cards to slip out at once. On
the withdrawal of the pressure from the
lever the mouth closes with a spring, SO
that only one card can slip out, There
are some boxes made called lend
boxes" by which the dealer can press
on the end of the box, and take out two
cards, the same as by pressing on the
lever, keeping his fingers in natural
position, instead Of having to reach in
side Of the box to press the lever.
An expert thus describes the fixing of
the cards so that the dealer can win or
lose just as he pleases. The cards are
divided in two equal parts, twenty-six
cards in each part There are various
ways in arranging the cards, such as
sections, odds and evens, etc, etc,
but the popular way is both ends
against the middle. 0ne-half the cards
contain the aces, duces, kings, queens,
eights, skies, and two of the sevens.
That is both ends. The other half con
tains the jacks, tens, mines, trays, fours,
fiyes, and two of the sevens. That is
called the middle. One half of these
cards are clipped straight, less than one
sixteenth part of an inch smaller than
the other half These are sanded on
the face by rubbing fine sand-paper over
them. The other half is cut rounding,
so as to leave them larger in the middle,
and smaller at the ends than the straight
cards. These are ssnded on the back.
This is called
deck OF ROUNDS.
A dealer in shutting can sparate the
rounds from the straights by holding the
cards near the end with his left hand
and drawing the rounds out with his
right. Having the cards separated,
twenty.six in each hand, he makes the
ends even by gently tapping the end Of
one-half against the faces of the other
half. He then places the two ends to-
gether on the table, and by pressing
them together and raising his hands he
passes each alternate card over the
other, from the bottom to the top Of the
deck, thus bringing the sanded face of
one card to the back of the other. 1t is
very easy to perceive how by this means
that the dealer can control any card so
as to make it win or loose. To enable
the dealer to know when to take y
two cards, the opening at the top of the
dealing box is widest at the end next the
dealer, and each card dotted so that
be can see the second and third card, and
knows exactly when to. take.
