THE CLUB"
Its Uses Versus the old Style
o the San Antonio LIGHT:I

To the San Antonio LIGHT:l
Gambling is not what 1t used to be, ia
years gone by, when San Antonio was the
Monte Carlo OF Texas. There was time
when the tiger" could only be found in a
regular general establishment, where
everybody went TO buck against the
game. Now we have two classes of gam
bling institutions, one is the general
gambling house, visited mostly by roughs.
country yapS, cowboys, and MeXicans:
the other is 1.-THE club" where gentlemen
congregate. The club is private insti-
tuition, and is conducted on the quiet, and
never figures in the grand jury reports,
and, as IL affords tO.thOSe who want to
gamble an opportunity TO crafty their
desires without burdening the dock
cts OF the courts and over
working the grand juries and the officers
of the court, the club should be commend
ed. As to the general gambling establish
ments, they seem to serve no other useful
purpose than TO make fees for the officers,
and this fee business is blot on our
civilization. EY-JURYMAE.
