NEW GAME IN CHINATOWN.
1t Is Played with IA Top and Has Put
Fan Tan Out of Favor.


Fan Tan Out of Favor.
From the New York Sun.
Chinatown is in the clutches of a new
gambling game which has already
backed fan tan off the board and
threatens the popularity Of the Mott
street version of poker. IT is peh bin,
and for action it is as rapid as any
thing in New York. It has been played
in the big Chinatowns of the Pacific
coast since the first of the year, and
recently some one brought a layout to
New York's little yellow spot. The
professional gamblers in the quarter
are still holding to fan tan and faro
and poker at which the bank is sure
to win in the end. Peh bin gives the
player too many chances to win to
make II popular with the profession.
There are plenty Of wealthy mer-
chants, however, who are willing to
bank for a game among friends. Peh
bin has become as much the thing for
Chinese social entertainment as was
bridge on Fifth avenue year or so
ago.
The distinguishing feature Of peh bin
is a sort Of top, on the eight faces Of
which are inscribed eight Chinese
characters The colors are alternate
ly red and white. The upward and
downward. which arranges all the red
characters in one position and the
white ones in just the opposite. The
eight characters on the top are paint
ed in eight squares on an oblong sheet
OF paper or canvas There are two
lines Of squares, each color occupying
one-half the layout sheet Where the
vertical lines intersect the horizontal
middle line three circles are drawn.
one Is red. one white and the center
one half and half, being Known a. the
mized hole (sam chan khang). There

PARK SCHOOL IN THE LEAD
Makes Decided Gain This Week
Over Nearest Competitor.

Park public school takes the head
OF the list this week IN the contest
sor the Merchants Library. The
activity displayed by the three lead
ing organizations In this contest is
eommendable and is resulting in a
good-natured rivalry among their
friends
We want to cali attention to the
rules governing this contest, es-
pecially that.one ia regard to votes
on thirty day accounts. Merchants
should not allow votes to be east on
old accounts and the vote must in
variabiy be cast at the time the pur-
chase is made or the account paid,
Deviation from this rule might
cause a contest In ease Of a close
vote. This is fair, square contes.
and it is hoped all will carefully re-
gard the rules in voting. The vote
as counted Wednesday is as follows:
