si.ooo on the Turn of the wheei-won sIo.ooo and Then Began to Lose-He smashea Things When He Was Stopped. SARAnpGA, July o6.-Prinec Hatfield, a little man with a picturesque European carccr behind him, but who is known in this country chiefly hocause he Is c. F. Huntington son law, gave the play CTS and dealers at tho Saratoga club an hour of fine sport.
 To tho casual observer the prince Is only a small man. with sandy complex ion and n sandy little mustache carefully trimmed. But through his veins courses the blood of the HatZfclds, and when the blood Of tho Hatzfcltls Is thoroughly arous- cd something terrible usually happens. ThCrc was an arousing of the blood, but fortunately an overturned roulette wheel, a battered table and some broken chips satisfied 1t
 Prince Raised the Limit.
 For some time the prince has been in tho habit of paying roulette at the Sarato- ga club. The place is ono of the institu- tions of Saratoga, and in the old days when John MOrrisscy was its manager it was frcquentcd by the heaviest bettors in the country. Of late the play has not been so high. The prince however, was given a higher limit than ordinary players. and he was in the habit of winning or losing several thousand dollars at n sitting. He is reported to have taken these winnings and losings with the easy grace of a man who knows his father in-law will mako them good, no matter what happens.
 It Is said that the managers of the club became alarmed at the facility with which the prince would pile up markers" and that they finally fixed his limit at SlO,- 900. The idea of playing n bass SlO,OOO value on n HatEfeld's $ word of honor was bitterly resented by the prince. But the managers insisted that they would not allow him to go ono dollar farther.

 At 11:3O Tuesday night the prince left tho Grand Union. whcro his family arC stopping and whcrc his meals are private ly served in his suit of apartments, and walked over to the club. He was given a private table and was soon playing rou. | lcttc after n fashion that made the eyes ot l tho crowd hang out on their chcCks. The l prince made no hot less than SlO0, and 1 his usual bet was $l.OD0. It doesn't take | long to win or lose at roulette with Sl, OOJ bet on every roll "f the II.
