A NEW DEPARTURE.
FEMALE FARO PLAYERS ON LARK.

On Friday evening, at about clock, the
b,hitues of Winston's Club-room were strlck-
en- with amazement at seeing two elegantly
attired, but very closely vailed, females enter
the establishment Their nervous actions
denoted that they were unaccustomed to the
scene which presented itself to them yet,
without addressing a word to each other, the
mysterious women walked up to faro table
and placed some money on card. The deal
er politely informed them that females were
not permitted to bet at that game upon
which they quietly picked up their money
und. without any comment upon the dlscrlm-
nation of the dealer, they left the saloon
moment after their departure, several wit
nesses of this extraordinary female procedure,
who were anxious to establish the identity of
the female eamesters, followed them out !;
but they had disappeared A halt hour after
wards the same thickly vailed women stepped
ND to a ysung man in front of Magee s saloon
and asked whether they would be permitted
To visit the faro room of that establishment II
+bav were to enter from the rear of the build
ing. Receiving a reply in the affirmative
+hav walked down to the Ormsby House cor
rer turned up 10 the alley, and in that way
sought and found admittance to the cluo
room. The room was full of players of all
classes, from the gentlemanly gamester down
to the unprincipIed disturber of - sleepers'
The crispy rustic of silk, as the adventure
some women entered caused the most inter
asted player to turn his head, and low muir
muir of establishment ran along the line OF
PLAYERS and lookers-on. The two women
without being in any way disconnected by the
furry their presence created, stepped up to
the faro table, as they did at Winston's, and
placed piece of coin OIL card. The dealer
showed the money off, and said, & Girls are
not allowed to play at this game. " II that
is the CASE" replied one of the women, III
voice strange to all who were present, we
will get man to play for us. The speaker
stepped up to a locker on, and handing him
r., she said, 90 You will oblige nae, sir, by
pIayine this money for me. The innate gal
lantry of the man to whom the request was
addressed would not permit him to decline,
and he accordingly did her bidding The
woman would designate with her index hnger
unon which card she desired the money to be
placed, and her orders in that particular were
respectfuly observed. After winning few
dollars, the women kindly thanked the man
they had pressed into their service, and took
their departure by the same way they had en-
+o-ed The dignified air and ladylike conduct
.ssumed by the women during their visit e4-
amnted them from receiving any insults, ana
noticeable fact, worthy of record, Is that
s,ap the lowest of the male visitors IN that
cIub-room eschewed all vulgar or protane re-
.ks during the presence of the females.
These mysterious @ ones are no" very hKely
deludiuo themselves with the bllssful oeiei
that thew had very pleasant time, ana sa"
the SIGHTS without being ldentlhed' LIZ Is
crue, to saw so, but they are known. After
leaving the last faro room our informant
prompted by an overpowerlng sense OF curl
osity, quietly followed them but they gave
him long walk. Presenting that some one
would follow them, they took zlgzag route
for more than an hour, and after feeling sat
isfied that all curiosity respecting them must
have died out, they went home. Our inform,
ants inouisitiveness, however, was rewarded
nv ascertaining their place of residence, as
we'll az the women's names, but peculiar
sense of honor will not permit him to divulge
either.
