The Common Dodge Now A New York Sketch
A lengthy New York fragment describes street con games and a lottery scam with Mr. John Smith of Tunkhannock and a friend losing 250 dollars to a deceptive bankers office. It then bristles with social satire about fashionably rich women and urban excess and ends noting dog control and hydroforecasts in the city.
