Victim Plays Fair.
Suppose that two dice are used in
the game. The dupe throws the two
fair ones. The sharp, however. has a
false one concealed in his right hand
held in the thumb joint. He picks m
the two fair dice from the table aS

to fall into the box. Then, of course
he had still two dice in his hand-one
genuine dice between his fingers and
one false one held by his thumb.
AT the same instant that the first
die is allowed to fall the false die is
dropped into the box also. When the
false die is released the two fingers
holding the second genuine die are
turned inward and the die is taken in
to the thumb joint in the position for

THE whole of the manipulation is

Horses This Afternoon.
Bobbie Walthour will not race ten
blooded running horses at the Fair
Grounds this afternoon as was sched-
uled. The weather conditions make it
impossible to run the race and Presi-
dent Hull of the Savannah Racing
Association has been forced to call it
off.
An exciting contest had been prom
sed and there was every indication of
a large attendance. Nothing had been
left undone to- make the race a sue
cess and many had made arrange
ments to see the champion pace fol-
lower try his strength and speed
I gainst the ponies. But Wednes-
day nights rain, followed by freez-
ing wea ther, but the track in such
shape that it would be impossible to
run a bicycle over it this afternoon.
When Mr. Hull went out yesterday
to superintendent the rolling of the
track he found that it would be inn
possible to get it in shape. The water
had frozen and there was six inches of
mud in some places. The horse own
ers were disappointed because they
had confidently expected to pull out
ahead of the bicycle rider. Walthour
will return from Atlanta this morning
and will leave tonight or tomorrow
for New York to enter in the six-day
race in Madison Square Garden.

OVERCONFIDENCE CAUSE OF

GYMNASTIC STUNTS
BY Y. M. C. A. ATHLETES.
Fair Attendance at Fall Exhibition
Despite Cold weather.

Fair Attendance at Fall Exhibition
Despite Cold weather.
The fail gymnastic exhibition of the
Y. M. c. A. was given last night and
proved an enjoyable entertainment,
though the cold weather and the num-
erous entertainments given elsewhere
interfered, in a measure, with the at
tendance both of spectators and MEM
bers of the athletic class.
Music, by the First Regiment Or
chestra, was furnished both as a pre-
lude to the athletic work and also dur
ing the exhibitions on the various
pieces of apparatus. The programme,
in which about thirty men, members
of senior and junior classes, partici
pated, was as follows
Overture, First Regiment Orchestra.
Grand march.
Flying rings. Messrs. Graham, Lynes,
Goodenow and St. Clair
High jumping, Messrs. Morgan, Sib-
ley, Solomons, Stark, Kraft McTyre,
Morton, Dougan.
Tumbling, Messrs. Hoynes, Silva,
Bridges, Fitzgerald.
Horizontal bar Messrs. GOodenow,
Artley, Bythewood, Solomons. Graham.
Wrestling, Messrs. Entelman and
Dougan.
Parallel bars, Messrs. Artley, Morgan,
Heman, Schaupp, Goodenow, Kraft,
Sibley, Purse, Holmen, Finn, Graham.
Three deep tag, class
The youngsters who did the tumblng
as usual, carried off the honOrs for the
most spectacular work, and the show
ing they made is the more cOmmenda-
BILE, in that there were new members
on the team and the boys had not the
opportunity of working together as
long as has been the case when they
appeared in former exhibitions. De-
spite this handicap their work was eX
cellent and received the applause de-
served.
Meritorious work was done also on
the flying rings, and on the parallel
bars, the first of a fancy character ex-
employing not so much the work of
the classes as the control of the body
that is developed by them the second
showing general class work of an ad-
vanced nature. In each case the
work was of high order, and though
each man of the class acquitted himself
well, particular credit is due to Messrs.
Graham the physical director of the
association, and Messrs. Artley,
Schaupp and GoOdenow.
In the high jump the best record was
made by Mr.. Kraft, who cleared the
bar at feet 10 inches. while in the
wrestling match hOnors We're easy,
neither man being able to score fall
over the other. The game of tag proved
an amusing finale to a well selected
and well executed programme.
