NOTABLE SUNDAY FEATURES.

Mr.. Richard Croker. the Contra
Power OF Temmany Hall. is un.
doubtodly the most conspicuous citizen
upon the horizon OF the METROPOLIS. Tn.
fortunately, very little has ever been
known of Mr.. roker' early life. The
public has been denied the instructive
and profitable study of The various steps
in his career by which he has reached
the summit OF nj, mower and great
wealth. But Mr.. Croker has at last found
n biographer. and TO ex-Assenblyman
otto Kempner belongs the distinction
of having carefully compiled a chronicle
OF the life and doings Of the great Tam
many chief. The most entertaining por-
lions OF Mr.. Kempner's book will be
published In the Sunday WORLD to-
morrow. Mr.. Croker's political success
OF late years and his Indictment and
trial for the murder of one John Nc
Kenna are well known. But the story
of his career as a professional pugilist
will be news to many. Mr.. Cookers
biographer omits the details by rounds
OF his many successful prize-hghts, but
dwells long enough upon them to show
that he always sent his antagonist reel
ing to the ropes. and in his historical
battle with "Dicky'' Lynch the latter
was carried from the ring minus sew
eral front teeth"
This years Salon will show more am
bilious from American paint
ers than ever before. The meritorious
work of our painters is now a recog-
nized feature OF the Sailor Several OF

now living in Paris v kindly made
sketches from their exhibits for the
May Salon for the Sunday world"
These beautiful drawings have been
carefully reproduced and will be a most
interesting feature OF to-morrow's

1t is probably news to most everybody
that there is a big tunnel way down
under the river bed of the East River,
which in a few days will n New
York with Long Island City. A conf
pany has been quietly digging this big
hole from shore to shore. and nothing
has been said about 1t. Miss Meg Mer-
rifles the other day made a trip Of ex-
p~loration through the tunnel. and sue
ceeded in reaching a point underneath
Blackwelrs Island. A good deal has
been said about tunnels under the North
and East Rivers, but this Is the first
practical tunnel that has ever been
undertaken. 1t Will not be surprising
II his highway beneath the East River
should be he first or a series OF big
Underground p~assageways to Long
Island and to New Jersey. The full
story OF Miss Meg Merrilies's adven-
lures In the almost completed tunne

The Poker stakes.

To the Editor:
As to the poker problem. I think the following
is right: The stakes are 500. each man having
an equal share. They play four games out Of the
eleven agreed upon, Of which A wins all. Con-
sequently he is entitled to four elevenths OF the
stakes. which Is $50. 3s All. Now. tho remainder
should be divided equally between the two. as
they have an equal right thereto. which would
give A $40. 80 all. plus s3l, 81 ell. or SOS. IS Pill.

vile language INDUCED In. The weather being too
cold at present for them to stand on deck. they

they behave themselves, for never yet have I
