of mad excitement, of fabulous profits
garnered from the wreck of lives and the
ruin of fortunes.
1t is more than thirty years since Fran
co.'s Blanc became the proprietor of the
Monte Carlo casino. The effort to locate
gambling system in Andorre dates back
almost as far. But there was no
greedy half pauper prince to
be bought in the little Pyrenean
republic, and the sturdy virtue and
primitive SIMPLICITY had almost said ig-
norance of the mountaineers. long resisted
the destinations of ill-earned wealth. On
the other hand, no speculator of the
shrewdness and enterprise of Blanc pre-
scented himself. 1t will presently be seen
what vast resources and what venture
some foresight it took to make Monte
Carlo what it is. Neither the capital nor
the daring ever presided over an Andorran
venture, and so, though the project has
been agitated for years, and contract or
concession was once obtained, nothing
ever came of it, and the little opera-bouffe
republic remains to the very day when 1

Charlemagne.
sigh to think of what it will be a de-
cade from the period of the coming inva-
sion.
1t was in 1860 that Francois Blanc first
appeared in Monaco. The agreement which
he then made with Charles Ill, the reign
ing sovereign and the head of the illustri-
Gus house of Grimaldi, will expire on
April 16 next. The present ruler, Prince
Albert, will not renew it. He is rich, in
virtue of his marriage couple of years
ago with the Duchesse de Richelieu,
daughter of the famous Partisan banker,
Heine. de can, therefore, afford to disre-
gard his share of the profits of the gaming
tables, even if it does amount to 100000
francs a year (s60O, 000). as it is generally
stated. His father could not afford to
reject such prospect of wealth. He was

developed into the Cercle des
strangers. An army of Italian galley
slaves transported millions of cubic
feet of soil from the plain to the
craggy heights. Gardens, the most beau
tiful in the world, were laid out. The Ca
sino was finished and adorned as if it were
the palace OF king. 1t was not completed
until 1868, although it is unnecessary to
say Monte Carlo was famous as gam
bling resort long before that date. Blanc
while he undertook Herculean tasks for
the adornment of the place, had a strong
business sense of the value Of advertising.
Every possible device was used. The press
of every civilized country was worked for
all it was worth, and touts of every social
grade talked up the place in hotels and
clubs and railway stations. Blanc had,
besides, a large following from Hon.

palace. They used TO have play from noon
TO p. m. daily; but they never made a
success. The place was not very accessible
and only half attractive. 1t was not adj

no progress. They sold out on December
81 TO NJ. Daval, in whose hands the game
proved an utter and disastrous failure
In 1888, however. the foundation stone
OF the Casino was laid by the Prince de
Naientinols, eldest son of Charles. The
site chosen was the bald and barren
promontory OF Speluges, about mile dis
tant from Monaco itself, and while work
advanced slowly on it, a new agreement
for thirty years privilege was made in
October. 1859, with three spectators.
