They smoke a good quality of cigars, go out go Flushing or Coney Istand on Sundays, |-drive out with gayly-dressed women and beat every man they come in contact with unless he is of the fraternity or is on the lookout for “sharpers.”” THE SHAM JBWELRY TRICK is probably the best known, because the commonest, and requiring les¢ capital to make an investment than most of the other games, but the victims usually have the sagacity ~ keep “mum” on the subject of thoir specula- tions, and, “burying the sad story of their wrongs” within their own bosoms, lay claim to the most compicte invulnerability, and triamphantly assert “they don’t stick me on that, you know."”” Sham jewelry stores still exist, and somebody patronizes them or they would soon closé up.

The gentlemen “‘work- img” the concern outside, consist of a ‘“roper-in,” a “ coy-duck,’’ or “stool pigeon,” and a third party m- side manipulates the dice and currency. The “roper-in” is at the door; the ‘ coy’’ stands or lounges a few yards from the dour; ‘‘roper’’ “‘spots’’ a man and signals “coy;” “roper’’ thrusts a handbiil, with an enormous sam in jarge figares at the top, into the intended vic- tim's face, and barapgaes him on the fabulous chances to be obtained witht; “coy” rashes up; a handbill is shown him (which he has seen scores of times before ender similar circumstences), and, looking innocently at the “‘ countryman," he suggests that they “take a look any way.”” They “take a look,” and the gentleman inside produces dice-box containing an un- usoal number “of dice, and offers a ‘chance for anything in the case for and no bianks.” ‘Stool pigeon” takes a chance and te oy Frases naira fo offers him eh: refuse; 0 $9 cl such en easy manner, ry ” usual Pas his luck” next; wingaten cent breastpin wi has .lain unob- served in the corner of the case, and the proprietor urges him to ‘try again;”” he ‘tries’ aud wins a fifteen cent brooch; thinks luck must be against him,” “does not wish to be hard on a maa," sug- gests that the victim returns those two articles, pays aa additional fifty cents and takes avother ci aud he “must win the third time.” * Flat” the “‘ohanoe”’ and usually draws another piece of ten cent bijouterie and will draw all the email ware in tho case if he takes a few more chances.

In all its diversified thoroughfares, bounded by Reade, Church, Leonard an@ West streets, there are unmistakable evidences of the commercial progress which has distinguished the metre polis @sring the last decade, Ten years since ricketty buildings and dilapidated shanties outnumbered the sub- stantial dwellings of this dietrict, and the negro and the miscegen selected it for their home. It was then a wet setticment of Africans and the mean white trash whe cast their lot and their fortunes recklessly among the dusky daughters of Ham. Buta change happily came. The leading mprchants of the city, with the keen fore- ficult to ideutify the neighborhood. The buitding of Claflin, on West Broadway, was the rll Linh ploness: of this beneficial change. Its gigantic proportions crea ted auch a spirit of competition among the merchants that even this great structure goon had its mates within & ahort distance of itself. CHURCH STRERT BRING DEFOPULATED, This great thoroughfare, which once was stigmatized with tho reputation for which Mercer street is now éis- tinguished, has nearly lost all its former odors of brasem Jewdness and barlotry.
