Miss Willard’s Proposition. “The proposition made to the states by Miss Willard is this: That all states gaining 500 monibers daring this year, as shown by the national treasurer's boobs, should unite in an evening at the national convention, called benefit night, and the collection divided between these states. The state having the largest membership gain over 500 is to have Miss Willard for a free address at their state convention. Maine hopes to have a share in the bene fit night: but can scarcely expect to gain more than the great states of Pennsyl vania, Illinois, aud New York. Let all county treasurers carefully gather in the local duos and promptly report to the state treasurer, Mrs. M. C. McDowell, 150 Free street, Portland, Maine.” If Maine fulfills her obligation in this matter each of her 16 counlies must gain 00 or mi re members. Kennebec county has already gained :il members in her new unions and Belgrade is to be organized next week. A Remembrance of the London Convention. “I must let you know,” writes Rev. F. D. Green, “how the great meeting in St. James hall, London, affected the Sassoun refugees. The significance of the meet ing was in the human throbbings of the nation’s heart, and this our Armenian friends understood ‘in the original,’ with out any need of an interpreter. On reaching homo the two strange men were so filled with profound and grateful emo tion that they oould not be induced to come to tho happy tea table, nor would they eat a mouthful in their rooms. Not so the young child bride, ‘the poor dear,’ as Miss Willard affectionately calls her. She who bits hitherto been inconsolable was now fairly hilarious, eating and laughing and chatting like a magpie, to the delight of all at the table. Then suddenly serious, and even pathetic, she remarked in her own musical tongue, ‘Ait medz gunig araenen lav khasets, amen mart latsoots’ (That great woman of all (Lady Somer set) best spoke; every one she made weep So say wo all of us.” An Instance of Sabbath Observance. An incident in the life of the distin guished missionary, I)r. Luther Halsey Gulick, contains the marrow of many sermons on Sabbath observance.. After eleven years separation from home and kindred. Dr. (iulick, aged twenty-time, returned to Honolulu with hts young wife, on route for mission fields. They arrived on the Sabbath. Only two mlhs of shining water lay between them and I heir eager parents and friends onshore: but loyalty to the fourth commandment kept them apart until Monday morning Mr. Gulick’s Christian fortitude was remarkable. Once when smallpox had been recklessly introduced into the Islands by sailors, and the natives were dying by the hundreds, Dr. Gullok inoculated himself and a few others with virus taken from the dying. In the operation on him self he was dangerously exposed, and both Dr. and Mrs. Gulick thought that he would die. In order not to expose the mother and two children, he lived for throe days in a little hut far removed from home, waiting for tho poison to do its work, and three times each day Mrs Gniiek sent him food. Tho agony ol those tlireo days few can realize. This heroism of Dr. and Mis. Gulick was tht beginning of a strong hold upon tho 11a tlves. Bicycle and Christian Endeavor. What the bicycle Is doing ta make tht dress of women more reasonable the Christian Endeavor Society of young peo ple may yet do for women's headgear. At tho request of the presiding officers ll.t ladles in the great convention meeting It Boston this summer removed their hats amid the applause of tho bareheaded half of humanity, and the newspaper comment is that this innovation bids fair to stay, so that it will become the custom f' a Possible Queen. The swiftest trotter in training today, with the exception of Azote, 2:05'2, tho gelding king, is Beuzetta, 2:00%, the 4-year-old champion racing marc of tho world. Beuzetta is thundering to the wire witli a wonderful burst of speed and no great amazement would he felt by iter ad mirers should tho game little chestnut get very close to tho 2:03% of Alix, queen of tho turf, before the snow flies. Beuzetta is a daughter of Omvard, out. of Beulah by Harold. SI10 is a superb young mare in conformation and action, and if it were not for her somewhat plain head, badly set on to a short, straight neck, she would ho an equino beauty to rival Alix, tho handsomest of all fast trotters. Beuzetta’s BECZETTA, 2:063$. deep, loosely laid, sloping shoulders, hn short back, capacious body and finely turned, muscular hind parts make her a model ot speedlike conformation. She is now in the pink of condition, and in Orrin Hickok’s hands may continue to reduce her already wonderful record. Until she mot the great Azote In Now Nark recently Bouzctt.uhad not been beat en in two seasons. Klamath, Dan Cupid and other fast ones went down before her liko wooden horses, and when Azote de feated her in New York she forced the big gelding out in 2:0914, 2:051$ and 2:07. In the second heat, when Azote trotted in 2:053$, breaking the world’s gelding rec ord and the Fleetwood park track record of 2:06% made by tho ex-queen, Nancy Hanks, Beuzetta was separately timed in 2:063$, despite tho fact, that she cast a shoo at the half mile post. Beuzetta has trotted quarters in 0:21 and has covered a half mile in 1:013$. After her race with Azote she was pur chased for $16,500 by W. E. D. Stokes and will be trained in the future by Orrin ilickok, the veteran rcinsman. Beuzetta was not esteemed very highly as a colt. Her breeder. K. \V. Ayres of Kentucky, sent her to an auction sale in New York, when she was a 2-year-old, but being dis satisfied with the lack of bidding on s well bred a filly bought her in for $500 and took her back to Kentucky. Last year she came out as a 3-year-old and won the Ken tucky Futurity, worth $22,500 in cash, and closed the season tho largest winner of the campaign. Uurr McIntosh's Quest, Burr McIntosh, the Taffy of “Trilby” at tho Garden theater, New York, is quite an authority on football. lie used to bo a New York newspaper reporter before he went on tho stage, and this season he will write gossip of the sport, and report the Sat urday games within 150 miles of that city for a syndicate of newspapers. To do this lio will have to employ a capable actor, satisfactory to his manager, to play his part at tho Saturday matinee and evening performances. He is looking for tho actor and is willing to pay him $00 per week. The actor that gets tho engagement will have a soft snap, for lie will have all hut Saturdays to himself. It is not believed that a similar instance is to be found in tho annals of the stage. The Much Abutted Property Man. It is the custom of a good many out of town stock companies to foist the unim portant parts of a play upon the long suf fering property man, who has to hustle baggage during t int day and glitter behind the footlights at night. A youth who had these indignities thrust upon him waxed very indignant once last week. He found that three small roles had been assigned to hint. “Say,” lie remarked to the stage manager, “you can t expect mo to play two people who are on at the same time and are even supposed to light, ran you? The stage manager grinned. “Why, yes,” he said, “and you might arrange it that the third part come on and separate them." Dramatist Pinero as an Artor. “I remember the debut of Arthur Wing Pinero, the now famous English drama tist, upon the London stage,” says E. I). Lyons of Richnrd Mansfield's company. “It was at the Globe theater on April 17, 1S77, It was in support of Ada Cavendish in Wilkie Collins’ ‘Armadale.’ Leonard Boyne and I made our London debut at the same time. Pinero was Mr. Marsh. He was a charming fellow, hut as an actor' BE FORE YOU BUY OR RENT A PIANO DON’T FAIL TO VISIT THE WAREROOMS OF THE NEW ENGLAND PIANO CO., 200 Trcmont St.. Boston.

Mum Daurel stopped in front of tho postoflico. Her right hand held up her skirts. She released them with a sudden movement and thrust her hand into her muff, which she held in her left hand. At the same moment she uttered a cry of sur prise. The little purse that she always car ried in her muff was no longer there. A few feet away from her there stood a man of about 50 years of age, clean shaven, stout, well dressed. Ho was looking at her attentively. Then ho suddenly canto toward her, and with a polite how and an evil smile he said: “Madam, I live near by in the Rue do la Michodiere, Xo. (SO. M. Chouinot; man of business. If you desire to have news re garding the purse you have been so unfor tunate as to lose, 1 can furnish it to you.” M. Chouinot was a line specimen of a rascal. It must be confessed life was diffi cult for him. He had endeavored to make a success of several enterprises, but every time justas tho longed for end was in view an obstacle had risen up and over whelmed him. That obstacle was justice. Tho clients whom he had attempted to dupe had made complaints to the police, and the police had started investigations which had finally brought M. Chouinot face to face with the superintendent of po lice, tho judge on the bench and then the prison of Mazes. Happily he had so far been able to avoid long terms of imprison ment, which was something, but ho had been obliged in every case to disgorge his gains and restore to their rightful owners the sums of money that had been confided by them to his care. In short, he had so far been successful only in putting to one side his scruples. That day ho was walking behind Mine. Daurel. Was he looking at her? It is prob able that he was, for Mine. Daurel deserv ed it. Rarely has a more charming woman been seen. That slio had tlio appearance of tho smart woman, a supple ami graceful figure, beau tifully proportioned, could he seen from her back. In front it was seen that she had a lovely face, dark ardent eyes, an adorably chiseled nose, a fine mouth, and besides these an infinite and subtle charm that was indefinable. She was a woman no man could help looking at. 50, as has been said already, M. Choui not was walking behind Mine. Daurel. Suddenly he saw that she had dropped something on the pavement. lie was about to call her attention to tho fact when an idea presented itself to ids mind. “Never trust a lirst impulse,” thought he. No one happened to be passing at the moment. Why should lie not take posses sion of tho article provided it was worth tho trouble? M. Chouinot opened tho purse, for it was a purse that Mine. Daurel had let fall, a mignon little purse with her name on it in neat silver letters. It contained a BO franc bank note, several scraps of paper and a let ter in an envelope ready to be posted. 51. Chouinot rapidly looked over the pieces of paper. They were letters that showed signs of having been read and re read many times. They were almost in pieces, and all bore tho same signature, Henri. The letter in the envelope was ad dressed to BI. 1 lenri lie Prejudice. So the owner of tho purse was answering lovo let ters! “Ha, ha!” exclaimed 51. Chouinot to himself. Then lie found some cards bear ing tlie name, “51 me. Andre Daurel,” and 51. Chouinot commenced to think deeply. “5Ime. Daurel to a male friend, llenri de Prejailles. Excellent affair!” Without a tremor he opened the envel ope, and taking out tile letter began to read. "It remains to lie seen now whether 5Imc. Andre Daurel is rich," said 51. Chouinot to himself. “In any case it will lie sufficient if her friend is. Henri do Prejailles sounds well. I will find this out as quickly ns possible.” Talking t inis to himscir, m. cnomnot kept following Mnie. Daurel. When he saw her stop in front of the postoffiec, he stopped also. It was the decisive moment. “She wants to post her letter now nml discovers that her pockettmok is lost,” continued M. Chouinot in monologue. “I will approach her very politely and beg her to come to my oflieo for news of the lost article. There I shall tell her my con ditions!” M. Choulnot’s deductions weroperfectly accurate. Is it necessary to say that when Mine. I laurel heard M. Chouinot address her she turned in surprise, which rapidly changed to confusion and terror and left her without a word to reply? As soon as she recovered her self posses sion M. Chouinot, who had turned upon his heel as soon as his little speech was concluded, was already disappearing down the street. Thus sho found herself at the mercy of this man. Doubtless he had opened the pocket book, had read her letters and now would only restore them to her in return for a large reward. Mine. Daurel faced the situation. “There is no use hesitating,” shu thought. “I must go to this man.” And sjie went. M. Chouinot was waiting for her, and as soon as she had made known her name she was introduced into the private oflieo of the man of business. M. Chouinot rose to meet her and bowed. “Hero is your pocket book, madam,” ho said to her, holding out the article he had picked up shortly before on the pavement. Mine. Daurel, a little surprised, was about to thank him warmly when lie began: “I hand you buck your jiocketbook, blit honesty compels me to state that it does not return to you intact. It still contains, indeed, the note for 50 francs, because money is always sacred. Vou will also find there your visiting cards. Hut I thought it was imprudent of you to keep your let ters there. An indiscretion is so easily committed. Therefore I will take care of them—oh, the utmost care, I assure you!” Mine. Daurel understood. The man had laid a trap for her, and sho hail tumbled into it. “Monsieur,” she stammered, "the pock etbook you have picked up is my property. You have r.o right to keep it, whatever It may contain You think so, madnme?” “I tan go to the police, and they wij A CREAT BIG PIECE i OF FOR force you to give me back those letters.” “Anti lean go to the police anti tell them that X picked up nothing; that I know nothing of any pocket book, and that I, M. Chouinot, a business man, am above all suspicion of such things.” Mine. Daurel did not insist on this point. “But,” she said, “why do you keep those letters? They have no interest for you. I assure you”— “Tn, ta, ta! Letters of that sort, ma dame, I assure you, are very nice to keep. M. Henri do Projuillcs writes most in terestingly, and your own style, madnmc, is delightful.” Mine. Daurel flushed. Slut had loosened for a brief second her grasp on the pocket book. and that little moment of negligence was going to cost her dearly. “You forget, limdmno,” continued M. Chouinot. “that ewryliody who recovers a lost article is entitled to a reward.” “I am prepared to give it you, mon sieur.” “Agreed. But there are rewards and re wards. I think the correspondence of Mine. Daurel and Henri do i’rejuilles is worth a good price.” “Oh. monsieur”— "A very high price. I repeat, mudaino. for 20,0-1» iV..lies I will return you your letters. Otherwise I will give them to your husband.” Mine. Daurel became furious. “But it is a swindle!” slio shrieked. “That is a nasty word for such an ex quisite mouth.” “Wretch!” And Mine. Daurel threw one of her cards inthofacoof M. Chouinot. The ituuio* business remained calm and said: “A second card is useless. I have al ready taken one. Twenty thousand francs, I repeat. M. Daurel is a builder and is rich. Twenty thousand francs is nothing to him!” Tliis was said quietly and with calm cynicism. After her anger a reaction hail followed, anil Mine. I laurel grew quiet. She was frightened now. limiting anil overwhelm ed. She sank down on a chair, with her eyes on the ground, listening to this man as if site was lining sentenced to death. Then there was a silence, and Mine. Datirel rose and walked toward the door. M. Chouinot did nut move or say a word. The unhappy woman went out, pale and trembling, with soils in her throat that suffocated her. What was she going to do? That was what M. Chouinot wanted to know. Several hours later she would return. Probably s lie would try to bargain with him for 15,000 or 10,000 francs. Hut lie, M. Ohouin it, would remain unalterable— 20,000 francs. And then Mine. Dnurel would spread out on tiio table, not without regrets, 20 bank notes of 1,000 francs each. At tiie thought of tlds M. Chouinot rub bed Ills hands. 'Oh, beautiful scheme! Twenty thou sand francs for merely picking up a pock et book But the hours passed, and limit. Datirel did not return. Probably she needed more time to get tie money. Meanwhile M. Chouinot surer to himself while he waited. Presently an empl >yeo of the office came in. “Monsieur, there is sumo ono asking for you outside.” “The woman, no doubt?” "Xo, sit; it is a gentleman!” “A gentleman? Show him in.” The visitor c: mo into tho office. “Monsieur,” he said, looking M. Choni nut in the eye, “I am M. Henri de Prc jailles!” The man of business took n step back ward. “Oil, do not. be afraid. I havo no inten tion of ndminL .ering to you the thrashing you so richly deserve. It gives me pleas ure, however, to say that you are an infa mous iliain. Having said this, I ask you now to follow me.” “Monsieur!” M. Chouinot moved far ther and farther away. Ilenri do Prejailles took a pistol out of his pocket and put tho end of it under M. Chouinot's nose. “Will you follow me?” “i will follow you, monsieur, but re member one tiling—that your letters arc in a safe place, and that you cannot force mo to give them up, anil”— “Exactly. Meanwhile walk in front of me, mul not a word, or 1 will Flioot yon liko a dog!” Below a carriage was in attendance, anil M. Clinuinot got in. Henri do Prcjallles took tin* scat next him. “Coachman, drive to Hue Rembrandt, No. 34. tho home of M. Andre Daurol!” M. Chouinot trembled. but said noth ing. There M. de Prejailles said to hU co npanion as he opened the door: “Monsieur, you may get out. The mo ment to execute your throat. has arrived. Take my letters to 31. A mire I laurel!” M. Chouinot sprang out. Hocould hurd lv believe his ears. What was tfointf to hap pen next? At tlie door stood a servant, dressed in black, with a white tie. M. Chouinot wont toward him. “M. Andre Daurol?” he asked. “What, monsieur,*' said tho servant, “you havo not heard?’* “What?” “31. Andre Dauri'l died thisafternoon!” M. Chouinot was fairly stunned. “Oh,” he groaned, “I have no luck at all!” He was about to walk away, when JTcn j ri de Prejailles stepped out of the carriage and hold him ?»::ck. “You mm*.” he said, “that good fortune d«-s not always come to villains of your sort You will now restore to me tho let ter. you have tolen. We will go to your office to fetch them, and whatever you do do not keep us waiting.” Poor M. Chouinot! What could he do? He went into his office with Henri de Prejaillcs at his heels. He took the letters out of a set ret safe. M. Henri took them and placed them in his pocket. “Now, M. Chouinot,” he said, “I will tell you that M. Jlaurel never felt 1 letter in his life. Ho is alive and well. The serv ant at the door was my own valet. Twen ty francs did tho trick. You s«*e, the 20, 000 francs you spoke of seemed a pretty high price compared to that.” And {is 31.

Alter This Expression ol Opinion Work Will Probably Start at Once. Saturday was a quiet day for a voting day. There was hardly a sign apparent that any voting was really going on. There was an unusually large vote cast, far larger than the opposing factions had expected. The question voted upon wa# as follows: Is it for the public good of the oity of Augusta to contract with the Augusta City Building Company for the construc tion of a bnilding at the east cud of the Kennebeo bridge In said Augusta, upon land of said city, at a cost not to exceed fifty live thousand dollars 155,000), for the leasing of said building (when con structed), to said eitv for the term of ninety-nine (Oil) years,nt a yearly rental of four (4) per cent, on the cost of said build ing. and taxes, insurance and repairs In addition to Enid four (4) per cent, to be paid by said city, with the option on the part of said oity to purchase said building at cost after five years,by paving in yearly installments of five thousand dollars (15000) and interest? Following is the vote' by wards: Waul I, Ward 2, Ward 3, Ward 4, Ward 5, Ward 6, V\ ard 7, Total, Yes 188 125 127 27 2 th 217 102 No. 182 70 1(‘8 6.8 16 6 15 Defec tive. 14 11 3 Now that the voters of Augusta have decided in favor of the city building,work will probably bo commenced at once. The old hose house at the east end of the bridge, where the new ball will be erooted, has already been removed, so that nothing will prevent rapid progress. Maine Centra! Excursions. The Maine Central Railroad will run a grand autumnal excursion to the White Mountains through the Crawford Notch from all stations along tho Maine Cen tral, Wednesday, Sept. 11 The ride through the White Mountain Notch is without comparison. The scenery is grand and majestic. For eight miles from Bemls station to the Crawford house, the ascent is 116 feet to the mile. I ho Maine Uontral winds along under Mt. Willard, and thence along tho sides of Mt. Wiley,fully 500 feet above the Saco river. The magnificent sweep of the mountain sides, the vallny below, and tho towering mountains above, cannot be described. There is a majesty and awe that must be felt to tic understood There Is not another such scene on the continent. Tho best judges of the White Mountains have declared that the only time to see them in nil their splendor Is when the autumn frosts have touched the foliage and made the whole region a vast sea of color. The Maine Central will also run Sep tember excursions to the White Mountains at greatly reduced rates, from Sept. 10 to Oet. 10. This will give all an opportun ity to visit the Mountains at the best time of the year AMUSEMENTS. A. Y. Pearson's Company in "Land of the Midnight Sun.” Tonight.

Put from pasteboard a foundation for the bottom, with six rounded sides corre sponding to tho shape of the cans. Fill tiie alts, which, of course tire placed with the open ends up, with excelsior or other stuffing, placing over the top a quantity sufficient to make the hassock soft. Cut from ticking or other strong cloth two pieces, tin- shape of the pasteboard, one for the bottom and one for the top, allowing for the seam, and cut from astraigbt piece of the ticking a strip the depth of the cans and long enough to serve for the sides. Sew the pieces together over tlie cans, and you have a substantial hassock. A pretty cover may lie crocheted of bright worsteds in sections diverging from the center as a pie is cut, each large enough to reach down over the sides of one can, or the cover may be made of furniture plush or of a remnant of carpeting.—-Womankind. Don’t be Foolish and take some other brand of condensed milk, thinking it is “just as good” as the GAIL BORDEN EAGLE BRAND It Has No Equal i CHANCES IN POKER INTERESTING FIGURES ON THE GREAT AMERICAN CARD GAME. Tabnlationa Show That Pairs Are Denlt About Twenty Times Out of Forty-seven. Fat Fours Are Due Once la 4.1G5 Deals. Now, Are Yon “Coming In?” One would expect that every lover of the great American game of draw poker bould find it to his pleasure and profit to becomo thoroughly posted in regard to the various chances of the game, both on the deal and on the draw. Yet it is a fact that many players know little or nothing about a matter so important to them, and that even those who claim to bo considered au thorities on the subject differ widely among themselves. For instance, the American Hoyle, a standard work, says that the chance of getting a pair is 10 times in 13 deals, but Mr. Proctor is of the opinion that it is about 10 times ill 23 deals. Neither of these assertions is ex actly correct, Sir. Proctor being nearly so. 1 lie chance of getting a pair is very close to 20 times in 47 deals. Calculations can he verified with the expenditure of u little patience and time, by dealing a number of experimental hands, the problem being. What are the chances of receiving the different kinds of hands on the deal? The method of calcu lations and the calculations themselves arc simple. To begin with, it must be ascertained first how many combinations of flvo cards can bo. made out of a pack of 52 cards. Algebra shows that this will ho made ap parent by dividing 52x51x50x49x43 by 1x2 x3x4x5, the result being 2,598,960 sets. Now, it is desirable to find out how many of these 2,598,900 possible combinations will contain a pair, how many two pairs, and so on. Seventy-eight pairs can lie formed, six different pairs of aces, six of kings, and so on. Each of these pairs may be combined with any set of three cards that can he made out of the 50 remaining eards, provided that these three cards are all of different denominations and that none of them is of the same denomination as the pair is. Out of 50 eards can be formed 48x44x40 divided by 1x2x3 combi nations which fulfill these conditions, and therefore tho total number of possible pairs will ho 78 times 48x44x40 divided by 1x2x3, which equal 1,098,240. T'iie chances of obtaining a pair ou the deal arc, therefore, 1,098,240 divided by 2,598, 960. or about 20 in 47 deals. JSow, us to the two pair hands. There arc the 78 pairs above mentioned, and any of these may he combined with one of the 73 pairs of a different denomination, giv ing 78.73 divided by 1.2, or 2,808 possible sets of two pairs. Each of those sets may be combined with one of the 44 cards whicli remain after the two pairs and the four cards of the same denomination have been taken out, and so is obtained 2,808 times 44 as the total number of two pair hands. The chance of two pairs on the deal is therefore 123,553 divided by 2,598, 9G0, or about once in 21 deals. Triples come next. Out of the four cards of oach denomination can bo made four threes, by simply leaving out each suit in turn. This gives 4 times 13 or 52 triplets which can be made from a full pack. Out of the 48 cards left can bo made 48x44 divided by 1x2, or 1,050 com binations of two cards each, remembering that none of these combinations can be al lowed to be a pair. The total number of hands containing three of a kind will therefore be 52x1,050, or 51,912, and u triplet may be expected about once in 47 deals. Straights and flushes are somewhat harder to calculate, and it is with them that mistakes arc often made. Out of the 13 denominations 10 straights can be made, as follows: 2, 3, 4, 5, 0; 3, 4, 5, 7; 5, fi, 7, 8, 1); 0, 7, 8. 0, 10, jack; 8, 9, 10, jack, queen; 0, in, jack, queen, king and 10, jack, queen, king, ace. But as each card ot the straight may bo of any one of the four suits, 10 times (4, 4, 4, 4, 4), or 10,210 at mights are possible. Of these, however, 40 are not only straight hut straight flushes, as will be shown hereafter. Subtracting these, therefore, there arc left 10,200 possible straights, ami one about once in 255 hands dealt may he expected Flushes are determined in the following manner: From the 13 cards of each suit can be made 13 13 11 10 9 1 2 3 4 5 different straights and flushes. By mul tiplying this result by 4, the number of suits:, 1,287—4—5,148flushes arc obtained, of which 40 urn also straight flushes. Sub trading these from the total, 5,108 remain. The ehuneeof a pal flush is therefore 5,108 —2,598,900—or once in 509 deals. As to fulls, the three may, as before shown, bo any one of the 52 possible trip lets. This :na.V be combined with any one of the 73 pairs which can be made from tile 48 cards left, giving altogether 52x72, or 3,744, as the total number of fulls. The chance of getting a full on the deal is about once in 501 hands. II! e com liincil with any of till! 48 cards left in the pod;. This gives the total mnnherof fours ns (134, and the enthusiastic poker player will sisi that ho may hope for a pat four only once in every 4,105 deals. It has already been seen that the 13 cards of each suitwill give only ten differ ent straights As there are four suits, the number of possible straight flushes is, therefore, only 40, and this rnra avis should not lie expected oftener than once in 54,074 deals. A statement is appended giving the chances of the various kinds of haiyls: Straight Flushes.—Hoyle, once in 65,000 deals; the writer, once in 64,074 deals; to tal number, 40.
