cessful hotel keeper, has taken charge of the
popular Planters Hotel. His success at
New Holland Springs and several other re-

GAMBLING.
Lecture on Another Chain That Bind
Young Men.

Young Mehs
Since the beginning of the present
month large gatherings Of young men
have been held every Sunday afternoon
at the large hall of the Young Mems
Christian Association TO listen TO sermons
preached by clergymen OF different de
nomination on the various chains which
tie young men 10 the world, ana prevent
them from becoming followers Of Christ
Yesterdays sermon was preached by the
Rev. X. II Pitt, on the chain Of "Gamb-
ling" the chains of "Worldlness" and
Drink" having been expo1nded on the
two previous Sundays. The servi -es
were directed by Secretary Thomas of
the Association, and after the singing of
several hymns, the pastor addressed The
audience for nearly an hour, and pictured
in highly interesting manner the
evils which result from indulging in the
vice of gambling.
The speaker began by pointing out the
etymology Of the word which originally
only meant play, and hsd been degraded
10 a play of hazard. Two things have TO
be considered at the outset as essential
10 the vice Of gambling. 1t Is univer-
sal vice found In every race and nation,
in the most primitive as well as in the
most refined Gambling is not only a
cosmopolitan vice, which is not confined
TO any particular country, but IL also
represents the abuse of what is In itself a
harmless thing 1t is merely the abuse
of the desire for amusement The ques-
ton then arises whether all games of
chance are wrong; whether games like
base bali. lawn tennis, chess, croquei are
wrong The answer is no or yes. II is
wrong to indulge in such game if it in
terferes with more important matters.
Gambling is essentially dishonest. as
will be seen from its comparison with
legitimate business transactions The
latter are such in which both parties are
benefited Nothing else will keep II
one party is only benefited by a business
transaction while the other has TO suffer,
II becomes chicancry and sharpness. One
party is seeking to get the others money
without Offering an equivalent, therefore
integrity is lacking on both sides. While
saloons can always be pointed out from
the outside and in this manner their bust
ness is advertised, This is not the case
with gambling places; gamblers seem TO
love darkness rather than light Gamb-
ling, perhaps more than other vices, pro
NOTES recklcsshess 1t is also objection
able for it closely associates with other
vices, ~ drunkenness aud worldliness
\ gambler needs not himself 10 yield TO
the vice Of drink, but he expects to make
his livelihood from others who, while in
the ties Of drink, are more apt 10 indulge
in the vice of gambling This vice is
growing constantly, and its instinct
shows itself even in games Of chance
held Tnder the auspices of charitable in
stitutiOns or churches and il ought to be
suppressed with all possible means.
On next Sunday afternoon the Rev.
Dr. Wiley will preach on the chain Of
liccnliou-ness.

The sheet of water at Warwick Park is
one Of the finest in the United States for

straight line for several miles, and is so
sheltered by the bluffs on each side, THAI
only when the wind is blowing up and

The Virginia Boat Club of this city
are fully aware of these advantages, and
have determined TO get no number of
races and sports al the Park on the 4th of
July. There will be four-Oared, single
scull, tub, canoeand other races on water,
while on land there will be foot races,
lawn tennis games, etc.
These sports will be gotten up under
the auspic OF the club, the Warwick
Park Transportation Company having
made liberal arrangement with them
If they are successful the club hope TO be
able TO have this course adopted as that
for the annual regatta which has hereto
fore been held at Alexandria.
