When tie momentum is exhausted one

this horse gets the pool, less two por-
tons held back for the bank. To vary
this scheme OF open and 1agrant rob
berry, boas are sometimes substituted
for horses, and a yacht race takes the
place Of the horse race. Thus a man is
given the option of losing his money
on water equally with that of losing il
on land. Such a game could never
have existed in America. 1t Is too sim
