The audience was anticipating an ex-

spicuous among whom was Richard
Wagner, the opening number in this
instance being one of his compositions.
AS was usual the leading performers
of the orchestra, as they appeared upon

PROFESSIONAL MAscors.

All gamblers are superstitious, but
the most superstitious of all, undoubt-
eddy, are those who tempt the goddess
of chance around the tables Of the ca
sine at Monte Carlo.
Your ordinary gambler is satisfied
with a rabbit foot-left hind one pro-
cured in a cemetery near the hour of
midnight-or some other little thing
which has been in his possession at a
time when luck ran in his favor. But
over at Monte Carlo the gamblers think
hunchbacks are the best possible mas
cots, and as the result very large
number Of persons so afflicted manage
to earn a living by catering to this SUI
perstition.
Outside the doors of the casino one
will always find small army Of men
and women with deformed backs wait
ing to be hired as mascots. Some of
them are regularly retained by certain
patrons. While this patron is gambling
they stand by his or her side and
every once in a while the gambler turns
around and touches the hunchback's
deformity. This it is that is supposed
to bring luck.
Some Of the supposed hunchbacks
are bogus. The deformity is manu-
featured simply to get the fraud q
good paying job. frequently these de-
ceptions are brought to light. but when
such a discovery is made it is safe to
say that the fraudulent hunchback
never appears on the scene again.

THE HUNT IN JERSEY.

This little symposium regarding the
seasons huting in New Jersey, now in
full swing, was contributed by faithful
correspondents who know story when
they hear one:
George Philhauer of Roseland was
out hunting in the Orange mountains
last week. He had sighted his gun at
a flying covey of birds when a bullet
from some other hunters weapon
struck his arm. The shock caused him
to pull the trigger and felled him to
the ground. Three dead birds dropped
at his feet.
The scene of this accident was Mont
clair. The time was last Saturday. A
rabbit dashed down Greenwood avenue,
raced to the Lackawanna station and
jumped OH the last car of Il passenger
train that was just pulling out. The
yellow dog which had been after the
rabbit followed the train, barking
lou''y. John Edwards, in charge Of
the baggage car, came out on the plat
form and the rabbit had to jump Off
That was at Pine street The dog
chased the rabbit along Pine street
into Bloomfield avenue. Bunny ran
along by the side of an east-bound
Newark and Caldwell trolley car until
TIE COS was nearly upon him. The he
ran around i'm front of the car. He got
around the end safely. but the dog was
thrown twenty feet-dead.
