POKER AND POLICY
The Former Not Being Played As Much as it Was
 in Days Gone By.

Just at present there Is not much doing in the line of poker games in Waterbury and all because of the last raid in which about ten of the sports were caught and who had to settle their cases, the house refusing to pay.
 It has always been the rule in this city especially where there is big game on, for the house or the man that is getting iLe rakrof 10 gDaran- tee protection to his patrons. or in ether words, proE,ise to pay their fines should the p;ace get pinched. The proprietors nf ti.s city nave al- ways been very good at settling It appears that the two sports who were running tine game Ut tke t.ne refused to come good when it came time to settle and although one of them was willing to go half the other could not see 1t and made the fellows who were in the game cash up. This made a lot of hard feeling and there were all kinds of harsh things said about the owners. but, that did not feaze them in the least as such fel- lows are immune to criticism.
 But the fact that the two fellows who were running the game squealed out of paying the fines did much to give the game the knockout. AL though there has been no sitting to speak of since that time it is not | improbable that the lovers of the game will begin to assemble fin their old haunts ere long. The shacks where the game has been accustomed to go on have been quiet for some time but when they are liable to get started again. there Is no telling. There is a small game on just at present, 'tis said. but it does not amount to much and the sports who did not come good at the last raid are undoubtedly kicking themselves for killing, or at least wounding the
 birds that laid the golden eggs.
 A rake of in a poker game is con- sidered good for at least s5 an hour. and when you come 10 figure this up after all day And all night sessions lit can be easily seen where the man at the head makes a nice little roll and, can afford to pay slOO or s2Oo
 now and then in the city court.
 Waterbury has never had a full | aedged gambling hall but there have been games in this city which have been rather steep and the fellows
 who were accustomed to sit in the game which was formerly conducted not far from the center could tell some interesting episodes which happened there between Saturday night and Monday morning. It would make interesting reading to hear of the fellows. prominent around the town. whom the shsrkf feeced after the game was on fo1 a while. And the feIlows who thought themselves sharks could tell a few sad tales about New Yorker
 who came into the town and for quite a while with the aid of a couple of local players cleared up svery- thing before them
