EXTRAORDINARY ERUPTION AMONGST THE SPORT
ING GENTLEMEN. There has been "strke
this week amongst the backlegs, as well as the
tailors II appears that the directors OF the
sbanks'' Of Park Row and Vesev street, like those
OF the worthy and respectable contemporary insi-
tutions in Wall street, have been absorbing more
than their share OF the stock, and refusing to
'fork over' sufficient amount of the profits to
the ''decoy ducks,' who catch and pluck the
"pigeons." The consequence has been that the
industrious and accomplished gentlemen who bring
the grist 10 the mill demand an advance in
the dividends But the ank-directors won't


listen to this demand-the "decoy-ducks'
won't work-and the banks are closed. The
Mayor and Corporation are thus spared the
trouble Of shutting up the gambling houses and
the "green'' ones coming from the country are IN
sad state, no place being open for them wherein
to be plucked and relieved of the pecuniary pie
thora with which they are almost bursting.


The excitement is very great, and we do moi
think it unlikely that number Of new and mag
nificert gambling houses will be opened up town
and that property in Barclay street, vesey street
and Park Row will fall hundred per cent in 4
few weeks.
