And Bessie gaily went her way
Down through the fields OF scented clover,
But never again since that simmer day
Has she won q glance from her rustic

The clouds sail on as white as ever,
The clOvers toss in the summer wind,
But Bessie has lost that chance forever.

LIFE Ar LONG BRANCH.
War On the Gam mblers and Their Cor

Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-The fight against
the gamblers at Long Branch has gone as
far as a raid on the Ocean club, a big es-
tablishment standing in the grounds of the
Ocean hotel. This house is sec
Ond only to the Pennsylvania club
in gorgeousness and exceeds it in
size. 1t is one of the handsomest structures
along the shore, being ornate in architecture
and situated in the midst of flowers and
foliage. The interior is finished in natural
woods.
There are numerous private game rooms,
public restaurant and hall of large pro-
portions and beautiful finish. wherein
four faro tables, four roulet tables
and two red and black tables are i'm nightly
use. Charley Ransom is the manager. but
he is understood to have the partnership
and backing OF several capitalists. The
play is heavy, and the chips represented
over S19, 600 at the time your correspondent
made an inventory. Thirty-six men
are required to run this single de-
partment and the crowd of victims
sometimes numbers 5000. The police of
Long Branch are comically rural body,
and they, with the justices of the peace,
are very deferential to the gambling inter-
est, but the trustees, a majority of whom
are rich summer residents, have resolved to
EXTERNIINATE THE GAMBLERS.
and under their pressure raid has been
made Oh the Ocean club. Five employees
were arrested and the justice fined them
500 each, which Ransom paid promptly
and they returned to duty i'm the club. But
the sentiment of the cottagers has been
arousedby undesirable notoTiety which the
branch has got as the worlds
greatest gambling resort and the
gamblers are frightened. Their plunder
has been unprecedented thus FAR
this season owing to the expulsion of gam-
blers from New York city and the unusual
attendance at the Monmouth races, which
are extended through the whole summer.
Losses of $4,000 and $40, 600, and, in the
case of one Wall street man, as high as
$14. 600 in one night, show the enor nous
winnings of the rascals.
A feature Of evil lately developed is
roulet game for women. 4 room in the
Pennsylvania club has been set apart for
this purpose. The enticement of a good
supper preeedes the play, and unlike the
gaming for men the entrance is
somewhat restricted. a league for
the determination of gamblers has
been formed and among the participants in
the movement are George H. Porter.
George William Childs, Jesse and James
Seligman, Chauncey Depew and, John
Harper. 1t is hoped that the weight of
this onslaught will be sufficient to break
down the official support of the rich gam
blers

Thonanson VIII Stnv.

When the Cleveland ''Thunderbolt' left
his home to come up into the Northwest
for his fight with Hadley, he announced
that he had packed his gripSaek for victory
or change of residence. He gave it out
good and solid that he would not return to
Cleveland if he did not win. Others were
as much surprised as Thompson that he did
not score a victory, but few supposed that
he would verify his statement about stalking
his place OF residence on the result. 1t now
deyelOpeS that Mervine made the announce
ment in good faith. He has been in Min
neapoliS since the fight of three weeks ago.
and he will take up his residence in this
city this week. 4 contract has been made
whereby Thompson goes under the man
agement OF Tom Jefferson for stipulated
period. jefferson is arranging combina-
ton which will include other lights than
Thompson. and will give athletic exhibitions
throughout the Northwest. a performance
will be given in this city at an early date.
Thompson will pull against four horses,
wreStle and do the strOng-man act. This is
more in the line of his legitimate business.
He has done so much heavy work that his
muscles have become unfit for quick and
clean hitting, such as is necessary for a
good fighter. Thompson is powerful man

bound and will never be able to Timber up,

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-The news comes
from Newport that the Women's club for
this city. the organization of which has
been regarded as a fiction of pleasantly, has
been perfected as 10 organization and that

the vice president, while Miss Matilda
Travers as secretary will command the ad-
visory aid of her uncle, William X.
Travers, the famous clubSter, wit
and stutterer. Three hundred
invitations to membership are being mailed
TO persons selected by 4 committee at New

acterize the venture. as "a Social Club for

The practical understanding that the club
will have no hobbies whatever and that it

of the managers to establish permanent
grounds in st. Paul to be used for athletic
sports of all sorts, and as several United

contend for the championship, the existence
of such grounds would be very desirable.
The plan of the club is to raise a fund of
81, 500 from st. Paul people to purchase
grounds. each contribution representing a
share of ownership in the property. By
this plan the investment would surely be a
good one, as all property here is advancing
