Dozens of stories of varied length come to us every day by mail or express. They come from every section of the eoun- • ry and from persons in nearly every con dition of life. Of course it is impossible to ex imine all the manuscripts, bat we must return them with polite notes, any how. Why return them? Well, if we did not the circulation of the paper would drop oil in no ticuo, because all these would-bo contributors are subscribers, and 1 we were thus to offend each one how' long do you suppose we could continue business? Every render nowadays con- i idors himself capable of writing a novel ■I he once puts his mind to it. I have no doubt that there is not a tolerably edu cated man or woman m New York to-day who does not firmly believe that he or she could make a good llvmg by tiio pen were he necessity to arise.

BOAumuo school busses. “But these are not the only ones who hower t heir favors on us. Storios come in from young men and women who care nothing for financial recompense. They write just to see their names in print and to be able to show off their productions to friends. School girls are onr especial per centers. Not a week p isses that we don’t receive a work of fiction from some 'eminine boarding school, with a deli- •ately scented note informing us that the ruthor has determined to allow us to pub- ish her flr->t work and that compensation s no object. Young school teachers are von more troublesome. They ra .o their productions so highly and enter into such minute calculations about the pay that heir letters would bo amusing if they were not so numerous.

The society wemoa of Now* York Is much malinged, but never more brutally than when represented as gambling with book makers at the races. The storios of the “New York belles’ ” queer capers seem to find ready credence out of town, however. A lady in New York does not differ mate rially from a lady In any other quarter of the globe. Ladies do not gamble here or elsewhere, uniess one regards a playful wager of gloves with a personal friend as gambling. The women who have smallest—if any—pretensions to social recognition ore to be found at Brighton Beach. This course bos become famous for it* “ofT de- eiidems and ’’fixed” races; It Is on Coney island, and it catches the rug-tag and riff raff of the famonj Loach, as well os a dally contingent cf 2,000 or 8,000 “sports” from New York and Brooklyn. Pool tickets may be bought for so small a sum as £2.00, and the crowd is composed of extra ordinarily hetrogcncous elements. Negro stablemen, Irish saloonkeepers, French barbers, Geruiea tailors, Scandina vian hoarding-house rminors, toughs, plugi, brokers, spruce young clerks, po licemen off for a day, crocks of every va riety from sneak thieves to expert bank cracksmen, canal boatmen, waiters, hack- men, boetblacks, English visitors, who are as likely as not to be men of title, diminu tive jockeys, farmers and flashy sports, all elbowing their way iu and out, amoking ■cheap cigars, drinking quantities of beer and boU-ng all they are worth on every race. As may well be imagined the women who accompany these men are not si*c!o.b!y lovable. They are a ntrango lot. The oamber who attend the races day after cay the season through at Brighton Beach is perhaps a little less than 100, but the occasional visitors swell the daily con tingent to perhaps 300 women—there are several thousand men. Some of those are hard-featured, coarse and repulsive crea tures, dressed in gorgeous red or blue satin gowns with their slim fingers loaded with showy rings and their hair bleached to n sickening shade of yellow. They bet rather heavily, entrusting their money to more or less broken and dissipated young men who attend tho women iu a 6kan» faced way. One occasionally sco# some big, good-natured and cheaply dressed woman betting at intervals through a shrcwd-looking lad or an old man.
