The Game or Dominium.
Dotnlnoos is a fuorito and al-
most uiiUciBi.il pastime in Tc.au
and in no other stato in the Union
Is tho gauio pin id to any extent.
It is strictly a Texas ginie. It
takes a cool calculator to mako a
good phi ci one w bo keeps constant
run of tho g.uno and knows just
what bones aie out and what
ones his oponcnt is likely to hao.
Get four of these old players togeth-
er in a partner ganio and it is a
s'ght worth seeing. Taking their
-e its at a table tho bones aro eiu-
lully mixed up and each man
diaws seven doublo six downs and
the man w no finds it in his hand
rewardsit with i hearty cursc.then
tho mm next to him if ho have
any luck will play tho six-tray
and mai K up fifteen. 'I hen prob-
ably comes double-tray and then
possibl tray -four will bo put down
and if tho first plaier bo in luck he
will slap down doublo four and
counts twenty. Ami 60 tho game
goes on until tluce hundred is
loiclnd fifty being marked in each
low. All hieruls then take a glass
of bjer at Uio losers expense and
t'il- -.sh st.ut. The oldest nnd
s soma times get beaten
lnyeis. through holding
but in tho long mn
oly win. A bad baud
consists of doubles nnd
tho man that gets them is-ont of
luck. Nothing pleases a manwho
his the down more than to . pull
tho double five five blank double
blank and two or threo moie files.
With such a hand he is pretty cci-
tain to make a big haul.
