- con or twelve other men Of titles
n millions, or both.
His Royal Highness the Prince of
Wales had been invited by the Grand
mike Of Baden to visit him on the
i..asion of the first international
ESQ race at Baden-Baden. His
poval Highness had co~ndescended to
aecsnt the Invitation, and, by way
- increasing his personal interest in
.sa race. had entered a horse Of his
auo under the name of Scott. Well,
.ho race was duly run, and the
prince,s horse won-the BOBBY nrize,
ooming in a couple of hundred yards
or 90 behind the next to the last
horse. As his horse had been last,
tho Prince was first to congratulate
ths owner of the winner, Oscar
oshlschlager, an immensely wealthy
member of the aristocratic sporting
cot al Baden Baden, and gave a din
ner in his honor on the evening after
the race at the International Club,
famed all over Europe as the scene Of
some of the highest and bluest
blmded gambling ever known on the
continent.
The coming of the Prince Of Wales,
aside from the widespread interest
attaching to the first international
horse race and the big stake offered,
had attacted a swarm Of French and
Austrian counts and barons and
people with various handles to their
names, and oct Of the select crowd
the Prince was readily atle to pick
fifty or sixty men sufficiently select
to be entitled to the honor of an
invitation to a dinner given by the
future king Of Great Britain.
WALES SUGGESTS A LITTLE GAME.
The dinner was supurb in all its
appointments, the wines were de-
licious, the cuisine vas f%aultless, and
the royal host made a capital speech
of generalization TO Mr.. Oehlsch-
lager in German, which, by the way,
he speaks as we'll as English. AS
princely gatherings 60, the assembled
company was a rather brilliant one,
aud properly applauded the Princes
post prandial effort. But Albert Ed
ward did not seem to be thoroughly
satisfied somehow. OF course, every
body then took the u and imme-
diately began t. ,.ook dissatisfied.
Finally, Albert Edward rose to his
feet, and addressing Baron Kahlden,
the president of the club, said: 81
have Away heard the international
Club spoken of as a great gambling
Institution, and / am rather sur
prised to see that you have no gam
Ding here whatever. / had promised
myself the pleasure Of stalking a
trlfle myself and brought a few notes
Will me, as you see quitting his hand
In his vest pocket and drawing out

formed, and shall be unable to enjoy
the sport which / promised myself
In an instant Baron Kahlden had
slgnaled to the attendants to remove
thegambling apparatus from its place
y temporary concealment and in a
Jew words announced to the Prince
mat His Royal Highness' wish should
nc promptly gratifed. The whole
company adjourned to the main
eamoling parlor upstairs without
ioss OF time and Baron Kahlden at
once announced that the privilege Of
running the bank" would be
auctloned off. Two or three bids OF
iV'V~ marks or so were promptly
MADE but the bidders were rebuked
oythe Baron who remarked: "Come,
sentiemen, do not let us be shabby
aoout this thing when His Royal
nighness has honored us with his
presence. Won't somebody make a
respectable bid for the bank? OF

successful bidder shall pay his money
