tho active efforts Of an influential society formed
for the purpose Of supprcssing the Casino at
Monte Carlo. 1t bore the impressive title Of the
"SocGtG Intcrnatonale pour la Suppression des
Jeux 4 Monte Carlo" and was lavishly sup
ported by d large number Of wealthy philan-
thrOpists and nOuveaux riches possessed o.
social aspirations who saw therein means OF
achieving notoriety, and. above all. Of forcing
themselves into the presence Of royal personages
and great statesmen. Delegations Of this So
ciety were received in turn by wcllnigh every
potcntate in Europe from the Pope to King
Oscar Of Sweden and from the King Of Portugal
to the Emperor Of Russia. With one exception
they all gave their cordial Endorsement To the
object which the society had in view. and pro-
claimed themselves as strongly III favor Of the
suppression of the public gambling tables in
the pTincipalty Of Monaco. The solitary cN-
ccptiOn was Leopold Of Belgium who, when
asked by the delegation to become a patron OF
the society. replied with twinkle in his eye
that he would be glad to do 50 if the society
would first obtain the signature ana patronage
OF his good cousin. the Prince Of Wales. That
