An East End caterer in London has bit upon a novel method of attracting custom by playing upon tho public taste for a bit of a gamble. He h".= exhibited in tho window of Ins dining-room a notice advertising “Free meals for all.” on conditions for which application is to be made within. The first thing that turns out is to order one’s meal, and, having consumed it. to obtain one’s bill. One is 'presented simultaneously with that and a Ixig which contains 25 b:bck Lails and one white ball. If the hand Jirnws out the white ball, well and godu —the customer goes away replete in body, and with his pocket as full as before; but if a black ball conies uppermost, he has to pay up. 'The cable news in th issue accredited io the London "Times'' has anneared in that journal, but only where expressly stated is such news the editorial opinion of "The Times.’’)
