Public attention has lately been called
in Sydney to tile serious increase Of
gambling in that city. The local in
spector general of police has made.a re-
port on the subject, in which he says
that the evil is largely on the increase
and that considerable number Of the
men trahacking in it are making large
fortunes at the cost Of their victims.
In twenty months there have been four
hundred convictions for gambling, and
fines Of various amounts have been i'm
posed, but the traffic goes on flourish
ing in such a way as to demonstrate
that the fines are utterly futile as de-
torrents, and that they bear but small
proportion to the profits. When the
last mail left arrangements were being
made for calling a public meeting to
consider the subject.

DEER HUNT At NIGHT.
How Sportsmen In the Adirondaoks QUAR-
~ Their Game.

How Sportsmen In the Adirondaoks QUAR-
~ Their Game.
Long lake is one OF the best feeding
grounds for deer in the Adirondacks,
growing as it does kind of spice weed
and cranberry, of which the deer is
very fond. The process involved in
hunting deer, says an eastern ex-
change, is very curious and interesting;
in the guides own words, lone must
know the natur' of the animal to sue
ceed." It is the custom of this animal
to browse on its way down to the water
ut night for drink, and the slight crash
made in coming through the brush be-
trays them to the guide, who, with his
companion seated in boat, is slowly
and noiselessly padding close to shore,
and nearer and nearer to the locality
from whence the sound comes. AL
though there are nidny other noises
abroad on the night air none can mis-
take this particular one. The guide
holds his breath or emits it in quick
gasps. Absolute silence on the part of
the inmates Of the boat prevails.
The night wind blows softly. The
stars are reflected in the still water.
The air is heavy with the fragrance
from woods, flowers and. trees, The
boat drifts or is propelled SO gently
that it is calculated to deceive ones
own senses as to whether, after all, it
is not all dream. The occasional
sound Of the paddle sounds like the
ripple Of water or the tapping of the
waves against the shore, when sudden
ly another and unmistakable crash is
heard close at hand. The cap is of the
jack lantern, instantly q search-light
is thrown over the lake and adjacent
wooded shore. Two bright eyes are
seen, terrified whistling Is heard, and
the deer starts to run, but it is too late;
whiz and bang and fine four-year-
old buck falls 10 the ground. The
tense straining Of every muscle and
nerve is relieved and followed by the
widest excitement and commotion Is
the boat is hastily padded to shore.
