Season Than Eyer-Its Attractions.
From a Pprb Letter.
Monte Carlo is coming rapidly to the
ont as a place of sojourn. None but
Onfirmed invaiids, people with no
loney to lose, a few cynie philoso-
hers, or profound philaIlthropists, abb
tain from tickling the tickle goddess on
he board Of green cloth. There En-
lish and Americans meet on common
round. They come from the Cannes
Ow with nearly the same facility as
ON Nice in former years, but that they
ONE, and in stronger force than ever,
+, unquestionable. They are fine,
lucky players, too, especially the Ia
les, and it is a pleasure to see them
in their money, while they bear their
sses with an easy indifference almost
sreeable to witness. / saw n lady

heated than roulette. Theadministra-
On does all it can to watch over the
~lteIests of these persons, and two in
sectors are always lowering round

Nonte-CarlO was never more flourish
IN than this year, and never has so
msny English sought recreation there;
fl let well-meaning philanthropists
'ampaign" as they may, the Anglo
SIOn is a gambling race, and much of
i~tSIccess in business and commerce is
toe attributed to that instinct. All
thy preaching in the world will not be
ale to put an eXtinguisher on play, and
surh being the case, it is, to my think
ig far better to have one open, above
bcul, recognized outlet for the passion,

cared on with the strictest fairness and
bCLsty, then to encourage the growth
In cry large city ofa hundred or more
mnhrOom gambling-houses like GER
tain tripOts called clubs in the neigh
bohoOd of the Paris opera, where for
tuI,s can be lost and ruin effected with
far -eater certainty. The conditions of
tn Monte Carlo tables are, besides,
le>, avorable to the bank than has ever
beelthe ease at any other establish
melt of the kind.
