rolled in a heap in hotel rotunda-till
they were separated by bystanders. The
casualties were few, but we can mag
inc there were some hurt feelings when
Gov. West came to think over the sit

of the chief executive of a state to
come to blows in a public place like
hotel rotunda.

little description of the principality of
Monaco, said to be the smallest in the
world.
Leaving Vile Franche you can proceed
to Monaco either by trolley or steam
train, we used the latter, and, after
about forty minutes arrived at the
station of Monaco, which is about two
hundred feet above the sea level, and
is the capital of the principality of
Monaco, the name is said to be derived
from a temple of Heracles Monoikos.

little principality is in French territory

of the kind in existence.
Monte Carlo belongs to the principally
of Monaco, is Of about 1000 inhabitants
and is beautifully situated on a sheltered
bay and has delightful climate but is
chiefly visited on account of its gaming
facilities at the famous Casino. This
Casino was built by Charles GARNER in
1878 and stands on a high bluff to the
east of the town, the part facing the
sea was rebuilt in 1903. at the sides are
statues of Music by Sarah Bernhardt,
and Dancing by Gust DOre. The interior
is very extravagantly fitted up and
contain paintings by Jundt. teyen-Perrin
Boulanger, Clarin and LiX. The reading
and gaming rooms are on the first floor,
where one is admitted upon presentation
of their visiting card and are registered.
The gaming rooms are open daily from
ten a. m. until midnight, tickets to
these are obtained free at the office.
Minors and inhabitants of the princi-
pality are not admitted The other
rooms are also open from 10 a. m. until
noon where admission is by special
tickets. Concerts usually take place
twice a day and in the winter theatrical
performances take the place of the even
ing concerts. The games played at the
Casino are Roulette and Trente ct
Quarante, the minimum stake for rou-
lette being five francs (about 81 cents
in American money! and the maximum
stake 5000 francs. (abOut S1l5S 90 in
American money! the stake for Trente-
ct Quarante is from twenty to twelve
thousand francs.
In front Of the Casino are beautiful
gardens well kept and contain many
tropical trees and plants. To the left

an exhibition of modern works of art
is held from January to April of each
year.
