BATTLE OF TWO SESSIONS
Man Prominent in Sporting Circles

BATTLE OF TWO SESSIONS

NEW YORK, Feb 9.-Broadway was
discussing last night a game of chance
that placed all previous exploits of the
kind in total eclipse. Faro and roulette
were the games INDUCED in. and the
report was that victory was all with
the professional end of the contest.
Two sessions We're held and each was
Of about six hours duration. At the
conclusion checks We're passed. satisfy
ing every liability that had been in
CURED. Estimates of the amount won
and lost vary from a quarter of a mil
lion to $G5O000. with those who should
know willing 10 accept the greater sum
as near the right mark.
Western Bank President.
One of the principals. according TO
report. was a Western bank president
and capitalist. whose fortune is esti-
mated at many millions. He once at
tanned some political prominence in his
native State. He is middle-aged and
spends part of the year In New York
city He is not persistent warrior
against chance, but occasionally en-
cages in battle for old times sake.
The other principal Is said TO be very
well known In sporting circles. a man
known to be willing to give or take
any kind of a chance. A desperate bet
tor, he viii risk thousands-his all on
anything without culver of an eyeIash.
The scene of the duel was a clubhouse
IN West ThirtY-third street once very
well known. It has been running Quiet

management of the professional PLAYER.
He was one OF those who appeared
before District Attorney Jerome giving
at the time his solemn promise not 10

word.

The Western man a little more than 2
week ago became seized of desire TO
tempt fortune. and had little difficulty
IN making the proper arrangements
There was nothing of recklessness or IN

There are quite few people, who
are heartily in favor of the construc-
tion of the Mountain water system
for this city and who will vote for
the bonds, who would like to see the
system built by the city itself. There
is considerable force in the conten-
tion. The work that has been done
by the city has always proven more
satisfactory than that which was built
under the contract system. That mat
ter has not yet been decided upon.
We believe that If it was properly
presented to council 1t would find
considerable favor among the mem
bers of the aldermanic board. Any
how that has to be decided later. The
main question in adopting that plan
of construction is to secure the prop
er man to superintend the work.
The city's reservoirs We're built under
the supervision of George II. Barton
and they stand today a monument to
the honesty and painstaking work of
Mr.. Barton. With such man as Mr..
Barton, under the guidance of a first
class hydraulic engineer, we believe
that the work could be done in the
most satisfactory manner possible
All things of this character will be
subject of consideration. as soon as
1t is known whether the people decid-
ed that they want a Mountain water
system built.

Last Saturday this paper advertis-
ed for one issue only, cut sale on
visiting cards. The price was cut in
half. 1t was not because we had on
hand some old stock that was desired
to get rid of or because there was
a slack in work, as the presses of
the Sentinel never stop on job
work. year in and year out, at least
they have not in the last five years.
There was a reason, however, IL was
because we were greatly gratified
by the great number of cards print
ed in the last three months, which
exceeded the business of any similar
period on that particular class of
work and we were desirous of show
ing our appreciation to the public.
The question is now. did 1t pay? II
certainly did. We have printed 5S
sets of cards on the cut rate, which
was more than we expected to print,
as we reasoned that our patrons were
pretty well supplied with cards. The
best stock and the best character of
work was given the printing of these
cards. 1t goes to show that even a
printing office may advertise to ad-
vantage in certain lines and that re-
suits will be produced. Advertising
does pay, we have always known it,
now we have ploven it.
