To Decide Queer Bet-rinaIiy Seven Trays
Were Cast.

The elimination of an interesting
dee shaking contest AT LaSeur, Mimi.
which lasted four months continuously
cost Thomas Smith, the loser, 5000 in
cash Smith bet his uncle. Oscar Smith,
that IN tipping the dice they would
never come mp 30 that if seven dice were
used all seven faces. seven aces or seven
skies, etc, would all bee alike. Thrccs
were chosen rs the one TO decide the bet
They agreed that man should be
hired 20 throw dice eight hours day
for six months and that the winner
should pay for the man : service, Simon
Drake being hired to do the throwing at
500 "A month. Drake cast dice ON an
average of 1000 times day, for about
1870. 600 casts III the four months.
Much interest was taken in the con-
test and nearly all of the time Drake
had a number of interested spectators
about hun. though the principals being
men of business, only occasionally were
present Finally, however by strange
coincidence, both of the bettcrs were
watching the throwing when the dice
fellwlth seven threes up. and the CON
test was over. No account was kept of
the number time fours were thrown bat
10 fves We're cast. and - times ;siXcs
