GAMBLING IN EUROPE
Baccarnt Mt the Clubs and Pet.ts
Chevaux In Public

Baccarat at the Clubs ana Pet.ts
Chevaux In Public.
In Europe, except at Monte Carlo,
table gambling, such as roulette and
rouge ct noir, has long disappeared.
OF course, baccarat, which is to the
European gambler what draw poker
is to the American, is played in the
clubs and in other secluded places,
often for very high stakes. But the
laws arc everywhere rigid against pub
lie gambling, and so the Casino people
have to- resort to other agencies for
amusing the stranger and tightening
his purse. ssf55. 81
$ Some years ago L wrote the Courier
Journal an account of the then novel
game called petits cheyaux. This con-
sists Of a mechanical race course, ar
ranged to run by electricity. Nine
horses are placed. Nine folded num-
bers are put in an oval cushion, passed
around at the end Of a long handle
among the players: Each player takes
one of these folded numbers, CORE
spending to one Of the horses. which
are likewise numbered from 1 to !
The price varies from / to 2 francs.
All the tickets disposed of, a spring is
touched and off go the horses, dashing
round and round the track at break
neck speed: but separating as they 60.
When the momentum is exhausted one
horse is found in the lead He who
holds the number corresp ponding to
this horse gets the pool, less two %por-
ltions held back for the bank: To vary
this scheme of open and 1lagrant rob-
berry, boas are sometimes substituted
for horses, and a yacht race takes the
place of the horse race. Thus a man is
given the option of losing his money
on water equally with that of losing it
OH land. Such a game could never
have existed in America. tits too sim
ply, obviously absurd against the play
er. ~ T. - "
But at last. the fat-witted Eropean,
got onto it, as the saying is, and les
petits chevaux and antour du lac no
+ longer suffice to lure the unwary. But
even in Europe there is a certain prog
ress. So the Casino people have added
to their old race-courses layout an
appendage OF. annex, which looks very

bet on one Of these numbers. There
are nine of them If you win you get
five to one. If you bet OH three in a
bunch you get even money. In order
to show, however, that this is not
gambling, there is a limit-from to 5
francs, according to the wealth OF size
of the Casino or KurusaaL | am told
that at the more ambitious of these
and late at night, when the heteroge~
nous crowd has gone, there is a good
deal of very steep rolling. But as I
never sit up late at night myself can
give no direct testimony Oh this point.
1t will be seen at once that the sole
merit of this method Of pretending not
to gamble lies in the bold, transparent
| robbery which it emhodies. 1t is worse
than a mock auction OF church rattle
If I wanted to teach a child to be a
