Unsuitable bank.
The luck was against him every
time. When he played black the wheel
came red. When he played odd it was
even. Finally in desperation he began
to play thousand dollar bets on the
colors. He won once or twice, but
lost heavily in the long run. BY the
time the gray dawn had changed to
broad daylight he had lost 100000.
Il win take $4,000 more" he said,
and STOP" He played the red for eight
times at $1,000 a roll. He won two
and lost six. He had 81 900 left zone

a trace of excitement in his voice.

for all he had lost, yawned slightly, put
on his hat and went home.
Very Cheerful Dinner. o
The dinner which preceded this little

fair. The dinner was arranged as far

His Losses Over $500, 1000.
Altogether, at Canfeld's and other
places, it is said that young Wander
bilt lost within a few weeks more than
100000 at various little games His
mother and brother Alfred warmly
urged him to be more conservative for
the sake of the family name.
Not long after this came the annual
class day roasting" when young Van
derbilt received the following lowing
tribute from his companions in learn
ing:
Put up Reggie Vanderbilt. This
Young Apollo, as the newspapers
have called him, is our newspaper
champion, having had his picture in
the public prints 4S1 times since fresh
man year, and two brands of scent
cigars named after him in addition He
denies that he has been photographed
shaking hands with Richard Garfield,
but says it is perfectly true that on a
trip to New York in his automobile the
other day he killed a chicken near
South NoFwalk, and dropped SO cents

Putting this and that together it is
not altogether surprising that when
commencement day came the Yale fac

ploma. The subjects in which he fail

have passed with honors were a.utomo-
billing and the laws of chance The
faculty will give him an opportunity
to get his diploma in the fall if he
works hard during the summer.
Young Vanderbilt'S life at Yale was
considerably different from that of the
average young man of the college. He
was much more of a gambler than
most of the other men, and, although
not snobbish, he did not find MANY
congenial friends among them. He
used to bet heavily on the college
sporting events, and he dropped $500
on the last Yale-Harvard football
game.
Lived in Vanderbilt Rooms.
He lived in the handsome suite of
rooms always reserved for the members
of the Vanderbilt family, over the
archway under Vanderbilt hail. built
by his father.
He was sedan seen about the cam
