The strong inclination of the crowd to
gamble was fully demonstrated Yesterday
by the inducements offered by wheel of
fortune stationed on Chestnut street near
Main. The projectors stock in trade con-
sisted of pencils, combs and one or two
other cheap articles-your choice for
dime, turn at the wheel included, by
which the purchaser had chance of win
ming either pewter ring, brass breast
pin, or two shilling knife, the latter be-
ing the grand prize. The chance of draw
ing so valuable an article was too great
temptation to be easily withstood, and
consequently perfect flood of dimes rolled
into the pocket of the man at the wheel,
literally exhausting the stock of pewter
rings and brass breast pins, although but
one knife was missing from its accus-
toned place.
