SCENES ON A CHINESE RAcE-coURsE.

shows, and no Aunt SallieS-real cracks
over their own heads, which must be re-
ceiyed with patience are so frequent that
they lose the zest of a ioke-but in lieu of
them, gambling booths of every shade and
description illustrate the Chinese passion
for play. Gambling booths for large
sums gambling booths for knickknacks,
gambling booths for gh-priced drinka,

This Fall my business had increased
so much, that 1 decided to make q des-
perate effort to run my sales up to
$1O0,000.00. To do this purchased
for spot cash $4,000 worth Of clothing
and furnishing goods, the sale of which
added to my regular run Of business,
would bring about the coveted result.
But Providence doesn't always dis.
pose as man man proposes, and the pro-
lODged season Of rainy weather has
destroyed all calculation and left me
barely holding my own regular trade,
while the $4,000 stock Is comparative
ly untouched. The wet weather has eff
fectually spoiled anything like a boom,
and but one course remains open, viz:
to sell the goods for what they will
bring, and stop the depreciati, on
the goods which is inevitable from
carrying over from season 10 season.
