Several instances OF the futlllty
of trying to "beat the bank" are
recorded at Monte Carlo recently.
The first is that of an Englishman.
who by an extraordinary streak of
luck won the sum of S35, 900 at the
gaming tables. Not satisfied with
his success, the winner continued
to tempt fortune and the result
was that he lost not only all that
he had won, but $4,000 besides. A
second case is that of an English
earl, who won $4,000, all OF which
sum, with several thousand dollars
more, has long since passed into
the hands of the croupiers. A
third unfortunate is an Italian
duke, whose winnings il he made
any, are not recorded, but who is
known to have lost within the last
few weeks the handsome fortune
of 100000.
