The dealers splits, the Iookouts contunely.
The panzs OF desp;sed luck, the banks per cent,
The dangers OF brace game and the losses

And gruat and sweat under a constant strain,
DID not the hope of winning in the end

And then 70 madly try 70 call the turn,
How conscience does make towards OF Us all
When in despair we knock the coppers OF

And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied DER with dread uncertainty,
And enterprises OF great pi;h and moment

And when, too late, we realize
That luck comes not 10 them who bet at bank,
And they alone can winnings make who faro LET

A SEATTLEITE ABROAD.
C. c. Calkins Makes Himself Heard in
he Elnnp TsStv


The Minneapolis Tribune Of April q, says: sc.
of Seattle, Wash, is at the Brunswick. He is
on his way to the coast from a Southern trip,
having put in a few weeks ut Galveston and San
Antonio, looking into the real estate situation.
There are few men in the country who are better
posted on matters pertaining TO real estate than
Mr.. Calkins, and he handles some pretty heavy
deals in Western property, having, by the way,
recently picked up some valuable Minneapolis
property and made extensive investments at
Seattle for Louis +. Menage.
"'The real estate transactions OF Seattle from
January l. 1891, to date have aggregated nearly
8, 5o0o o0,' be said last evening. "1hat shows
up pretty well for quiet market, don't it? And
very large proportion of this amount repre-
sents investments of Eastern capitalists who
have recently located there for permanent resi-
dence. The Puget sound country is now recog-
nized as the coming center of population and
Seattle is reaping the benefit of il. 1t is 45O
miles nearer to the China and Japan trade than
any other principal port, and must therefore in
the nature of things absorb the great bulk of the
transcontinental and ocean carrying trade The
railways know it, too, and are all getting Puget
sound connections as fast as possible.
"'Erom my observations here am convinced
that your legislature has damaged real estate
values in this city:and ST. Paul fully > per cent
Now that the body has adjourned it will prob
ably reeuperate. The Introduction of that in.

take. l doubt if any extremist of this caliber

out of his room during the performance. He
has entirely recovered and promises treat in
his rendition of the title role in the coming

company have in its repertoire. In addition to
the regular company, large corps of trained
supernumeraries will take part in the play.

The BoefoniAns Will open what should be the
most notable event in the amusement line ever
known 10 Seattle The company il here for
three nights and presents three splendid operas
For the opening performance the company VIII
give its leading novelty, q comic opera in
three acts called "Robin HOOD" composed and
written fog this company By Reginald DeKoven
and HafryB. Smith, who have been collabora-
tors in the Begun and "Dcn QEixote" The
first production Of the new opera was At Chi
csgo, in June, 1880, during the FINAL engagement
OF the third transeontinental tour of the con-
pauy, 90 that the work win be a novelty TO all
the other publies Of the cities visited during the
season of iseo-9L The story OF Robin Hood
is one that is particularly attractive for
light opera. The gallant Robin has been .
fayorite of boyhood for many generations, and
the incidents and adventures which divers old
ballads give to him quite sufficient material
for 4 complicated and amusing story. The plot
concerns the efforts made by Robin Hood TO
claim the title and estates of the earidom OF
Huntington, . claim to which, according TO ira
dirion, he had no small pre:ensionx The sherin,
who Is custodian of the estates. endeavors TO
substitute as the earl q young country lou:
named Guy of Osborne. The scenes are laid
FIRST in the old town Of Nottingham during the
village fair, next in Sherwood forest, and third
in public square, with view OF the sherifs
mansion and the prison where Robin is in
duress. The music OF the opera marks great
advance upon any of the work previously done
by Mr. DeKoven in the field OF operate COM
position, its tuneful members, many Of which
are written in the old English style,
having charm which is seldom attached to
the comic opera music of the present day.
Among the most notable numbers are milk
maids song, contrasting the life OF the real
milkmaid and the ideal article; capital song
sung by the Sheriff: an armorer's song, sung by
Will Scarlet, with anvil accompaniment;
chorus OF journeymen thinkers, who accompany
their song by tapping on the pans and cans they
are mending; "Song Of Brown October Ale"
sung by Little John; forest song for Maid
number of very stirring male choruses, and two
exceliently written fnales. comic round in
the second act il q clever burlesQue of the old
English form, where each singer has different
words. and the whole combines with humor-
Gus effect

THE GATZERT WON.
She Ran Away From the Potter and
Lowers the Record.

Though the steamers Greyhound and Bailey
Gatzert could not arrive at an understanding to
race from Tacoma yesterday, a race quite as ex-
citing took place between the Gatzert and T. J.
Potter, the former carrying off the honors and
beating the record by making the run in hour
and IS minutes.
The Potter people deny having made anything
more than just an attempt to run, but immedi-
stely slowed Up again as the boat, they say, was
in no condition to race. Chief Engineer Smith,
OF the Potter. said yesterday IN relation to the
claim that the Gatzert had beaten the Potter.
that the latter steamer was in no condition to
run fast: that they had no knowledge there was

that as soon as news OF the affair reached Port

The GatEert people. however, insist that IL
