sons, who, frem 1850 until his rccest
death. had a. vArio0s times accumulated
much money. which he invested in real
estate. But Ct length he weat into Wall
street and lost his fortune. His old part
ner, Henry Cotton, was believed until re-
cently b be wealthy, but legal proceed
ings have shown that he has transferred
all his property TO his wife, in the inter-
ests of his children. Cotton and Parsons
and the late Matthew Danser were con-
,sidered, for years, to be the richest men
of their disreputable class.
From time to time men from distant
cities, attracted by the inviting field for
their operations presented by New York,
have sought to make this city their home.
Such men were the elegant Pendleton of
Washington, and Orlando Moore, who
kept noted gambling house for many
years in Broadway, one door below the
Chemical Bank. Moore, for time, was
prosperous; but desire to force his fam
lily into circle of society closed to them,
in spite of his wealth and the family's
education, led him into extravaganza that
proved his ruin. Another notorious gam
bier was Patrick Hesrne, an Irishman, OF
great shrewdness and of polished affa-
bility of manner. In company with
Schuyler Halsey, he established and con-
Quoted gambling house for many years
opposite the Metropolitan Hotel. Hearne,
perhaps, was the most interesting man of
his class. He had good education, and
his personal attractions allured into his
society such men as the Livingstons, the
Jameses, of Albany, and the Costers, of
New York, from whom he won not less
than half million dollars. But he loved
play for its own sake, and was addicted
to high living and dissipation and extrav-
agance generally. He died almost penni-
less. Ha,sey passed off the stage two
years ago, leaving out of an immense
amount Of ill-gotten gains only $4,000.
A man named Joseph Hall, originally a
house painter, also tried his fortune ia
New York. He was a handsome man,
butpompous, overbearing and presuming.
Having succeeded in gambling he invest,
ed lltrottipg horses, and once owned the
celebrated trotting stallion, Lantern, af-
terward purchased by Robert Bonner.
Hall was famous for his suppers, and
knew how to cater for his guests better
than any other gambler host in New York.
A story is told to show his extravaganza,
in effect that after Lantern had won an
important race, Hall had silver bucket
made for the horse to drink out Of A
few years ago, worn out and crippled,
Hall was soliciting aims to keep him from
starving.
John Harrison was popular sporting
man. He was convicted and imprisoned
for keeping n gambling saloon-almost
the only case of the kind that can be re-
membered by the oldest gamblers of to-
day. Strange as it may seem, Harrison
was called an honest gambler who played
O fair game. His low instincts finally
aed him into an alliance with q woman,
notorious q Julia Brown. This ruined
him, and he died in poverty. HarTisOn
