To Card Players.
♦ [flTapier Telegraph.] We have been requested to sound a note of warning to all who' indulge m the amusement of card playing. According to our information it would seem that some caution is necessary to be exercised m buying a pack of cards lest, unawares to both buyer and seller, a pack specially manufactured for sharpers ?hould i pass into the possession of the purchaser. The pack shown to us was gilt edged atjthe rounded corners; green scroll backs with gilt shading. By holding the back of the nard at an angle to the light the denomination of the card: is plainly pictured m the giided shading. Honest people, ignorant of the ways that are dark and the tricks that are vain, might play with such a pack of cards aB we ! have described without any suspicion ' that they were being cheated.
