MINUTE CALCULATIONS.

Leaving for the moment this wintry areas, let me give a little insight from Hoyle up the "chondas" of "dies" railing." "Maybe some of my readers may test its neevragy during the com- ing Christmas holidays. According to the authority just mentioned, the odds on the role with nine dies, or the highest in three throws, with three lice, come out as follow:-It is 10,077,665 to 1 against throwing 54; 1907,768 to 1 against or more; 183,229 to 1 against 52 or more; 45.809 against ö1 or more; 14,093 to 1 against 50 or more; 5,032 to 1 against 40 or more; 2,015 to 1 against 49 or more: 886to agnina 47 or more; 422 to 1 against 46 or more; 213 to 1 against 5 or -niors; 116 to 1 against $1 or moroj 66 to 1.

against 43 or mors: 39 (very nearly 594) to against 42 cr more 251 to 1 against 11 or more; 15 to 1 ogniust 49 or more; 101 to 1 against, 39 or more; 7.1-7 to 1 against or more; very nearly 5 to 1 against 37 or more 3 to 1 against 3 or more; 26.11 to 1 or 23 40 11 against 35 or more; 11 to 6 (or 1 5-6 to 1) against 34 or more; 9 to 7 (or 12-7) against 36

It is exactly equal that you throw

32 or more. To have secured those figures some littlə fimo mad attention must have been given. Those who know anything of calling may re member the greatest mumber they have seen throseri Personally 45 is the highest number that has been thrown where I have been z looker-on, but it is something, I suppose, te have seen odds of 215 to 1 brought off!”
