his winnings, which at times reached
enormous figures.
There was a gathering of the elect
at the Palace hotel one night. Six
men had gathered at Senator Shar-

game of draw. Aside from Sharon
and Baldwin there were wealthy Ne
vada men who we will call Smith and
Brown, Texas cattle man of great
wealth, known as Scott, and one of
the most prominent members of the
San Francisco bar, now deceased,
whose love for poker was unbounded,
but whose propensity to bluff against
Baldwin on short hands kept him
constantly in state of financial de-
preston. This lawyer, for the pur-
pose of explaining the game definite

Sharon sat at the head of the table,
with Baldwin to his right and Mac
to his left. Next to Mac sat Scott,
then Smith and Brown. Each player
bought chips to the amount of $1O,-
900, the whites being 500, the blues
$500 and the reds $1,000. The ante
was a white chip, and every pot was
jackpot in accordance with rule
previously adopted by the players.
The play was desultory for an houl
or more, few bets in excess of $1,000

other players were resting upon theil
oars, waiting for the cinch hand IL

faith and which is confidently looked
for at some stage of the proceedings
and when the big pot finally cam
around he had less than $1,000 in hi
stack. Smith and Brown were few
