in that part Of the towa generally
play for fun" There are, however,
a few who play for keeps"
A man who knows many things OF
interest and who once lived in San
Francisco, tells how the Chinese play
the game in their smelly little under
ground gaming rooms in Chinatown
in that city
In the center of square cloth Gov
cred table Is set a small square OF
mating. The dealer stands at one
corner of the table. The side of the
piece of mating to his right Is one;
mating the next side is two, the next
three, and the last four The num-
bers re understood and never marked
thereon. The game Is played with
the small copper coins of China, each
with a square hole in the center,
called cash. These are used In place
of chips. Each represents the stake
decided upon, or according to the rule
of the house. 1t may be 5 cents or
81, or any other sum.
The players then make their bets;
placing on the one, two, three, or
four side the amount they wish TO
wager. Or they may place the coins
on corner Of the mating between
the numbers, which means that they
bet on three or four, or two or one,
or whatever it may be. Should one
o. any OF the three other numbers
win the dealer pays all bets on the
winning number in the ratio OF three
coins to one coin wagered; should
bet between numbers win he pays
even money.
All bets having been made, the
dealer picks up handful Of coins
from the pile before him and places
them In conspicuous place on the
cal lie. covering them at the same tine
with cloth. Having made sure that
sll bets are placed. he removes the
cloth, and with a small stick, about
one and a half feet long. takes away
from the pile four coins at time un-
till at LIST only one or two or three or
four coins remain, and according 70
the number left so wins the number
represented by the side Of the mat
ting. For instance, after he has re.
moved the coins In tours only one re-
n aims. therefore one wins and he
pays all the bets on the one side three
for one. and takes all other bets. II

seven or nine or another suit.
Should he he unable to do either he
adds a chip to the pot. And thus the
game proceeds, the pot steadily grow
ing, which eventually goes to the
p aver who first empties his hand OF
cards.
The other method OF playing society
fan tan is as follows:
The deck Ia dealt as before. The
first player puts an ace Of any suit
into play, or, having none, starts the
pot with a chip The next player
puts the ace OF another suit into play,
or II he has none, pays the pot chip.
And so until all the aces are in play,
a chip to the pot being forfeit for
non-playing. Then the suits are
filed in sequence; failure to play
costing chip. The winner Is the
player who most readily gets rid OF
his cards.
And so II will be seen that fan tan

the opportunities for spirited gaming,
is play also for babes and sucklngs,
in that 1t is easily comprehended by
all and Is so free from guile.--Kan-

Prior to 1877 the PAGER was an out.
cast in the horse world. He was not
tolerated on regular tracks. In these
days the horse that moved both feet
en- the same side at the same time was
regarded as a fit subject for the eX-
ecutioner's bullet. The true blue
horsemen despised him with hearty
vigor that could not be understood
these days.
This was the condition of affairs in
1877 when four hackers who had been
waging the fercest kind of split heat
war against one another on the little
tracks of Indiana, Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania, suddenly obtained recognition
at the more important meets. These
side-wheelers were Sleepy George,
Lucy, Sweetser, and Bay Sally and
they soon became famous as the big
-Four" While Of plebian blood and
steppers Of the despised gait these
horses put up the fiercest fights that
had ever been seen and proved them
selves game from the nose to the hind

1t was in this notable year of 1877
that the Cleveland Driving park hung
UP the first purse ever offered for
PAGERS on the grand circuit. 1t was
$1,000, and Sleepy George who was far
and away the best of the entries, was
handicapped by being made to drag a

bat but he was only beaten a nose by

tas which had stood since 1855.
That race was the beginning of the
fame of the PAGER and the lateral gait
ed horse has steadily grown in popu-
larity ever since. This has been par
ticularly the case during the past half
dozen years when many trainers have
taught fashIonably bred trotters the
side gait, getting increased speed and
greater earning capacity.
Natural gated PAGERS who had been
forced by artificial appliances to trot

Minnie R., who had been taught 20
tot II 2:19 but when she was al
lowed to pace she clipped many sec
ends from this record.
It has been estimated that ninety
five per cent. of the PAGERS in training
TO-DAY are the product Of trotting-bred
stock This shows the tendency OF
the times fetter than anything else
