Gambling i'm England.

In aristocratic society in England
gambling has always been one OF the
agencies to while away time and get rid
of the guineas. Very nearly all the
ladies bet on the races, and incline to
any gambling that is going Many of
them meet regularly for baccarat.
roulet, or any other banking game, and
lose and win appreciably. Englishmen
who gamble for high stakes, however,
always do it away from home, at their
clubs, or in private quarters. AS an
instance of how your lordly Britisher
backs his judgment. one Londoner, a
few weeks ago. in an afternoon lost
$50, coo to friend, but retrieved this
and won $75. 900 more from his oppo-
nent before dinner. The only club now
given to high play Is the very aristo-
cratic organization known as the
Ceecee Tree Club, in ST. James street,
ST. James Square This is not far from
the quarters of the Field Club, which
was raided and broken into by the po-
lice last year. This latter was not II
club, but private hell run by a man
named Seston, for the express purpose
of plucking young and plunging mem
bers of the aristocracy. The game was
baccarat, and individual losses often
ranged from $4,000 to 500, 900 in
single night. The group of players
who were captured and arraigned in
court embraced a dozen names promi-
nent in the peerage, but they were dis
missed with light fines. After night
in jail, Seaton, the proprietor, escaped
with fine of -, 500, which, as he had
made fortune out of the place, he was
entirely willing to pay.

A lady. on entering the kitchen
early one morning, saw plate and
knife and fork, the former of which
had evidently contained cold rabbit
pie. The lady strongly suspected a
certain policeman of having supped off
it, and the following conversation took
place between her and the cook:
Mistress--Mary, what's become of
