Ihere being no restrictions in regard to
betting on the Park Row grounds, there was
q little private b~ookmaking going on down
Post Office private box tiers. New York
stock was high as the first inning closed, and
ouers OF 2 to 1 we're freely made on the

but one or two bets were recorded at 81 TO 80
and 25 cent TO rs in favor of the Giants.
Later on. when it got to tho sixth ard seventh

there was just as reckless betting the other

winning both bets that he took his friends

WORLD" REPORTERS.

The Man Who Built the bridge Had n BiG

They looked like two solid business men
from the New Jersey wilderness. and were
taking in the sights. One was tall and thin,
apparently very much interested in all he
saw and athirst for information; the other
was short and dumpy. and the wonders of
New York did not seem to impress him SO
much. He had evidently been to York
before. and as they were walking over the
Brooklyn Bridge he pointed cot the objects
of interest oil around and impaired informa-
ton to his companion with all the COM
placency of an old rounder.
Whey they reached the middle of the
bridge the tell mans attention was attracted
to the sliding arrangement made to allow for
the expansion and contraction of the struc-
l~ightenment.
"Ah ~ said the little man. you see the
bridge is SO long it is made in two halves,
which are joined together loosely here. and
when a heavy wagon goes over the bridge
and weighs it Town the two halves slide to-
gether. That's to prevent the bridge from
being strained or cracked, and If it weren't
for that arrangement the bridge couldn't
stand heavy loads; there's no support IN the
middle, and il would crack. See ?"

Nine White-Hairod Merry Men Make n Fuun,
Sight ut the Park.


A rather comical spectacle was presented
in Central Park on one warm, sunshiny day
when the children were out in full force.
Infants hardly able to toddle. hanging on to
the arms of their nurses, boys and girls in
short dresses and knickerbockers and young
misses old enough to feel that Irritation is a
JOY forever.
They were in great spirits, and it was pleas
ant to see these countless young ones anus
ing themselves with such zest. Some of them
were gathering the bright leaves. Others
were playing with a ball. Some of the small
est mites We're riding in the goat carriages or
on the placid donkey. All this was healthy
and pleasing.
But up towards the point where the Mall
begins. on several benches at the left-hand
side of the road which comes in at the Fifth
avenue emit ance. were nine old men, seated
in n row. Each of them had q shiny tall hat
and an overcoat. md not one of them was
there whose hair and beard we're not white
with age. They looked like a s~uperannuated
minstrel troupe.
But they were all end men. How the old
boys did enjoy themselves! They laughed
and joked as clipper as Fall crickets. When
one of them got up and ambied around i n
front of the others he was guyed to death and
the veterans raped with their sticks and ut
tered guffas. 1t was very funny, but the old
gentlemen were full of sunshine and merrl-
ment and felt their oats.
