 :The face of that youth was a study.
 He looked at the sheriff, and then at
 the croupier. There was evidently
 some sort of idea in his mind Of using
 violence to get that three hundred and
 sixty dollars, but his nerve failed him. He must have brooded over the busi-
 ness all night, for the next morning
 when 'PniP Daly, IT,, was being led
 away to court at Freehold he came up
 to him and told him the circumstances Eof the previous night.
 | ''tYou owe me the money all right.
 don't you think so, MT. Daly?' he said.
 Certainly, certainly said the club
 man. I am exceedingly sorry you had
 any annoyance. But I assure you it is only temporary. Just make out Q.
 check for the amount and send it to
 Justice Fort, and he'll take care of you B
 The drummer turned to the sporting edition of Uncle Sam and asked:
 Were you ever in Long Branch?n The sleepy-eyed man suddenly began
 to stare. He tried to laugh, but couldn't. And the old man without crooking his back, leaned over and whispered in the drummer's ear: T was there until the raid At least two of the five gambling clubs at Long Branch are in bad way, and the outcome of the foreclosure suit instituted by Mrs. Mary Marks, widow of Edward Marks, and William Fl. Hal lowell, executors of the estate of Ed ward Marks, is anxiously awaited. Un- less settlement is effected before Au- gust 3, which is not at all likely, the clubhouse with the two golden donles and other property of the Dalys will be put under the hammer and sold for what it will bring There are two mortgages on the Pennsylvania club and the two cottages in Chelsea avenue, Long Branch, the properties of Philip and Catherine Daily One is held by the Mutual Life Insurance company of New York. and is for thirty thousand dollars The mortgage held by the New York insurance company is first lien against the property, and is se- cured. The second mortgage, with in- terest, amounts to s2S.5OO This is held by the estate of Edward w. Manlxs and is being foreclosed by his executors
 A near friend of the Dalys said the other day that there was no likelihood of anybody coming to the rescue of the. Dalys. Il am surprised. " said he, ''that Mrs. Marks should foreclose. I was under the impression that she was left well fixed by her husband when he died, and would. out of sympathy, if for no other reason, be lenient. The Dalys are bearing up well under their down fall.''
 The Pennsylvania club property and the two Chelsea avenue cottages are worth many thousands of dollars per haps twice as much as the claims against them but it is hard to say what they will bring in a forced sale. Some place the Pennsylvania club prop erty at one hundred. thousand dollars as as seventy five thousand dollars. Itsis perhaps one of the most valuable sites along the coast, but its value with gam ing under the ban has been cut in half. < The two Chelsea avenue cottages ordi- narily ought to bring anywhere from ten to fifteen thousand dollars
 Before Robert J. Slater remodeled the Ocean club he made MT. Daly an offer of two hundred and fifty thousand dol- lars for the Pennlysvania club, The offer was made through third party, a friend of MT. Slater. who was ready and willing to put up the cash. MT. Daily refused to sell at that figure. Be- fore "Davy'' Johnson and Sam Elne- ry built the West End Casino, which, as a gaming place. was open only Q few weeks before raid was made on it, they were anxious to buy the Pennsyi- vania club. They. made MT. Daily an offer of one hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars. It is difficult to state how much the clubhouse and property stand in to MT. Daly, as every year the club was running he would spend from twenty-five to fifty thousand dollars in the way of decorations and interior irn- provements, not counting the money spent in landscape gardening and cleo tricaI displays, which were two special outside features.
 Philip Daily took charge of the Renn- sylvania club~Gl 1879. This was seven years after the old Monmouth park
