The Scepter Passes from the Card Box to the Dice. A REMARKABLE REVOLUTION. "Crap" Leaves the G otter to Bn-omi the Favorite or Rabltoes of Glided Gambling Resort In the Great Cities Row It Is flayed. "Come CTapa!" It U a ragged newsboy, in the early dawn of a mild morning. He is sprawled on bis knees and left band. With bis right hand be tosses to the pavement a pair of dice. A dozen other street Arabs are gathered about. "Seven it is; gimme der stuff." He grabs at a little pile of pennies, bat a companion interferes. ' ' "Hold on dere, 8w1psey; don't be sneakin' der pot. Yer didnt trow seven; dat was six yer trew." "Yer lie; band over de boodle or I'll swat "9 in de jaw." The onlookers take sides, a fight follows, there Is a confused pile of rags on thegroand suj a medley of curses In the air. All are engaged in combat save one. He, wiser than bis fellows, reachee through the mixture of arms and logs, secures the coppers, and a bit later is peacefully negotiating with the vernier at the corner for a "nick's wuth of coffee an' sinkers." While sipping the hot beverage his eye takes in the leisurely approach of a police man. He has Just committed petty larceny, but be is not unfriendly to bis victims, so he cries out: "Chefsedecop." The fight is over, the group is scattered and peace reigns, and papers are soon sold in amicable rivalry on the vary spot by those who erstwhile threatened and sought with all their puny might to "do up" each other. This is the old game of craps, with its usual trimmings, indulged in by the gamins of the pave. Imagine the contestants adults, their color different, aud their weapons razors in place of fists, aud you have the African variety. But craps is do longer plebeian. Craps has gone into society 1 Once it wore tatters with penny pitching. Now it sports diamonds and fine linen with faro. Indeed, it seems as though the game stood a good chance of soon outranking the hitherto standard pastime of those who have money in their pockets and ''sporting blood" in their veins. Save for the dice, though, craps would not be known by his former lovers. His apart ments are spacious and lavishly furnished. A CINCINNATI GAME. From The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. There are carpets on the floors, and mirrors and sideboards and pictures galore. In place of the casual sidewalk or hallway there is a green cloth table on which the uncertain cubes disport themselves, and the cash seen lying about is silver, gold and paper. The penny is out of doors. It would be difficult for one unacquainted with the undercurrent oflUuVto imagine the revolution which the recent adoption of craps as a parlor" game has brought about. Faro was thought to be the final and greatest work of the godden of Fortune, but that is so no longer, and there is simply one reason. assuming both schema equally fair, for the change. It Is this: The player oau get "quicker actiou" for his money. And now something about the way in which the new game Is played. The- table is a big, oblong affair, covered with green baize cloth. Sitting on one side is tne Daniter. To his right is a check rack and a pile of bills and coin. Directly In front oi me Banner ana cbalked on the cloth are the numbers 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8 and 10. A "maTker" or counter lies close by. and when a player throws a number the banker places the counter on that numeral. A little fur ther out, and running from the rack all the way around to the banker's left band, are two circular parallel lines, about two inches apart. Within this space are placed all the bets, save those hereafter specified. . Directly In front of the rack are the num bers 6, , 8 and . - To the left of the banker and Just outside the semicircle is another quartet of the same numbers, 5, 6, 8 and 9. Seated at the two sides and front of the table are the players. The dice go round from the banker's left to the right The first to tale the cabes lays down his bet in the space be tween the semicircular lines. All those who think Tm will win follow his example. The others do not bet. The player makes bis throw. If the spots aggregate 7 or 11 he and all who have wagered win. If two aces, two sixes, or an ace and a der.ee come out they lose. But should the atTn of the spots aggregate 4, 5, o, 8, 9 or 10 the banker - places a counter on the proper figure before blm. It is a record of the number thrown To win now the player must throw the same number before be throws the number 7, the bank betting that he will throw 7 before he throws the number marked. Jfow for the use of the four numbers 5, B, 8 and 0, placed at each end of the table. The players can bet that the man with the dice will throw either of these numbers before be throws 7, and the play continues until he his thrown 7. A player continue to handle the dice until he has thrown 7 before the number he began on. Then the next gambler takes the dice. Uutslue of the routine of the rates there are several side issues to craps that are of in terest, t or one thing the beta are all even no odds being given or taken. The player always Deis again tt tne bank, and the ra pidity of the dice throwing, coupled with the number of people engaged in placing wagers. makes It necessary for the dealer to have from one to three assistants to look after the marker, watch the bets, pay losings and pull in the winnings. Recently at a game In which the visitor met with phenomenal luck he started with a $10 bet, and by doubling acn time be won became the winner of nearly S10,UX) iu half an boor. In faro even -the '.'high rolling" games have a limit of 150. but in craps there is no limit save the size of the bank roll. The player makes bis wager, throws the dice, and wins or loses within the minute. Sometimes he departs with hun dreds in his pocket, but more often be retires with liltle or nothing. Oontz, by the way, is the name under which the new form of craps was introduced to the public, but this title has not met with popu lar favor, and the original designation re mains in use. Meanwhile there are many "old fashioned" sports who adhere to their first love. Faro bas been their pastime and source of revenue for years, and they will have none of the new tangled wiles lor luring monoy from the . pockets of the wealthy, the unwary or the desperate, it will be long. Indeed, before ci sps gets so thoroughly systematized as faro. The older gome runs through a series oi gradations which place It within the reach of all who are foolish enough to risk their cash on the turn of a card. In the swell club bouse one finds colored servants in livery, elegant aurtundings, cboios liquors and cigars, courteous employes and ivory chips worth in money when pur chased for betting purposes from $1.25 to $30 each. The man who saunters in, gives bis coat to a waiter, buys 1500 worth of counters and wins three or four thousand dollars in the course of a sitting, stroll out languidly when , bola through, reuiarks to the boy at the door that it is fine day, and disappear. A 6IDKWA.LK GAMB. The Ontral club, at 818 Broadway, Xew York, is the wealthiest of this sort of institu tions. It is historic in association as the re sort of people noted for brains as well as money. Here Daniel Webster and Rufus Choate "tri?d their luck," and Congressman Fernando Wood won fSO.OOO between 10 o"Vloek and midnight during the "flush times" of the war, a loss to the bank, by the way, which a noted actor made good to John Mor riaeey's successors at the same place"tnly a few weeks ao by getting rid of much more than the mm Wood won. At the Central club an offense airainst the unwritten rulos of order is rfsnrdil as unpardonable. A Wall street broker. woll known to the proprietors, recently ljst fcJUO at the green covered table. He rose to go. "If you wish to play longer, Mr. X.,"soft!y murmured the dealer, "your credit is good. Will you take a thousand dollar stack of chips to begin withi"' The broker burst out violently: "I want yon to understand, sir, that when I invest $300 it is for pleasure. When 1 invest $1,000 it is for business, and I transact all business at my office in Wall street." The dealer turned to the colored doorkeep er. He had made his otTer iu a friendly mood, and he didn't like its reception. So he remarked: "William, this gentleman does all his business iu Wall street. Please see be doesn't do any more here." And from this on Mr. X. will have to risk bis spare cnange at some oilier place than the Central club. Besides resorts of this class there are others of more modest pretensions, where people of small means venture $10 or $"J0, see their chips melt away and walk off "broke." Theu there are the "tin pail joints." affected by workingmen, end "crook hangouts," where thieved can barter stolen Roods for counters and punt them away in "going against" a "stripper." Ilow the passion for gambling takes hold of tun human mind is well illustrated in this connection by the anecdote of two cowboys wno nau money in tueir pocket and no im mediate means of losing it. They heard that in a far away mountain cabin a man bad set up a faro table. They rode niht and day to reach the resort. They played with uniform ill luek. Finally one of the cowboys whis pered to the other: "Say. Jack, the dealer's cheatiu'. He's play in' strippers, an' puilin' iwo earns at once." FROSTIKR FARO. "Fur God's sake keep still," was the reply. "Don't anar him, or he'll close the game, an' there ain't another layout within K) miles.'' Whether craps will permanently reletate faro to the background as the favorite of those who recklessly squander their hard earnings or accumulated wealtn In gracirying a mad passion for gaming remains to be se.n. But just at present craps is king. 4'ouaty HatldiHKP. TUANSFRRS. April 4 Estate of James Reynolds. Administrator's report filed and approv ed. Estate of Joshua J McCormick.
