BUNCO STEERERS BOILED.

New Haven Gentleman, Well
 Known in Financial Circles, Meets
 Two Bunco Men in New York
 Their Efforts to Rope Him In Are
 Unsuccessful.
 gentleman well known in New Haven society and especially prominent in financial circles went to New York yesterday on busi- ness While walking on Broadway he was approached by an exceedingly dapper young man who bowed politely and claimed an ac- quaintance with him. The young New York CT said he remembered the New Havener's face very we'll, but did not quite remember his name. The New Havener at once sniffed mischief in the breezes, but concluded to toy with his friend 6 little just for the fun of the thing and to see what he would try to do. So he said that he was from New Haven, gave his name and said he was very glad to meet his old acquaintance. They were quickly met by a second dapper young man and the New Havener was introduced. The newcomer claimed to be nephew of ex-Gov. English and the self proclaimed nephew of the ex- governor proposed going to see a beautiful painting that he had just purchased. He was a great connoisseur of fine paintings, his friend said. But our Elm City fnancier thought he had had fun enough out of the adventure and hastily took his departure, saying he had just time to catch train. His new-found friends were much crestfallen at his sudden leave taking. They were un- doubtedly bunco steerers and evidently thought they had 'Fsoft snap' in the gen tleman from New Haven.
