A CURIOUS BET.
TheIgcal rivalry existing between the great cities of Sa Louls and Chicago relative to the proposed World's Fair, anil the would-be rivalry, all, one side, between those two cities and New York on the same subject, suggests anys the Near York Mercury, the memory of bet made years ago by a New Yorkir.
Some Alleen, years ago a gentleman of this city, who had travelled extensively throughout the country and had lived for awhile in several of Our largest rities, becoming thoroughly acquainted with the local feeling in each city, was conversing at the Metropilitan Holel, in the ...bar-room, with some friends, and the conversation drifted to the discussion of the then, pronounced rivalry between New York and Philadel phia and the rivalry was almost as bitter as that now existing between Chicago and St. Louis. Somebody in the crowd suggested that this tafk 'about "thig, rivalry was all bosh-tifat it. daint exist. Whereupon the travelled New Yorker took up the codgels, and strongly insisted that it did. He even offered to prove its existence and its strength by a novel bes the winning of which depended wholly and al- together on the strength of this rivalry,

He did all this skilfully, of course-step by step, as circumstances offered, so that his real design was not suspected. This ingenious game-this human nature dodge-worked even better than he expected. On the strength of his Philadelphia proclivities and his professed preferences for that city over New York, he formed the acquaintance of a wealthy Philadelphia manufacturer, became his guest for two weeks, enjoyed himself hugely free of cost, and finally, still solely on the strength of his Philadelphia, anti-New York racket, was entrusted with a lucrative business commission, which ultimately netied him a profit ranging into the thousands of dollars,
