people have made huge fortunes by playing
cording to system. There is the case of Monte
Carlo" WelS, who won 100000 Also it but
three years ago that Mr.. Huntley Walker left
the Casino $4,000 richer after playing according
to a system which he declares took him fifteen
years to perfect.
Five seasons age an immensely wealthy Amer
ican Colonel Powell the owner Of mines in Mex
ico won $350,000. A Russian count once carried
away $4,000 the result Of nights play.
But in spite of all these huge sums which have
been won, the bank holds its against all sye
TENS, plungers, and persevering gamblers; and,
as witty proverb invented in the days OF M.
Blanc, the founder of the Casino. truly says "The
black often loses, the red often loses, but white
(Blanc) always wins" And his winnings range
from 100000 to $7,5OOOOO every year
More people go to Monte Carlo now than ever
there did before. There is more play and conse-
quently more money is lost The difference is
that roulette is now being played by the public
generally and not by a few special gamblers; and
1t follows that there is more silver on the
tables than formerly, when It was all gold aud
notes.
Monte Carlo itself may be described as a de-
ghtfu little resort of hotels, fashionable villas,
and jewelers. shops, in the midst Of flower gar.
dens. From more than one of the more fashion
able hotels the visitor can now walk from his
bedroom straight into the Casino-a boon for
ladies in evening dress. The gardens attached to
the Casino itself are unluestionably one of the
finest sights of the Riviera. They are always
blaze of color. Then there the old castle, the
present residence of the ruling prince, and the
magnificent cathedral The latter built. it
is said. with money obtained from gamblers, and
its STAFF of priests all paid from the profits
made at the Casino The Casino, too, pays all
the taxes; in fact 1t virtually runs the place.
1t will probably come as a surprise to many ID
learn that the inhabitants of this interesting lit
tie municipality do not look with favor upon the
Casino and its ways. Indeed. II the people had
their way. they would close the Casino tomor-
row. In this desire they backed by the sup
port of the antigambing societies in Europe and
also by public opinion generally.

increased Dy the interference with their indus
tries which state monopolies entailed.
The rock on which the Casino is built was for
merly called by the Monagasques, or natives the
Plain OF the Robbers" and here the system OF
plumber is still carried on. though in a manner
more consistent with modern ideas
When first built the Casino contained none Of
the art treasures. the mirrors, and the gliding
that ornament the building Of today, and consist
ed solely of the atrium. a gambling ROOM and a
reading room. In order to people this arid des
ert, those employed to exploit the Casino actually
offered free land to anyone who would build
villas or hotels thereon but the offer was refused;
and the land once to be had for nothing is to-
day OF priceless value. The gambling and con-
cert rooms of the Casino are marvels of profuse
decoration, and the concert room is remarkable
for its painted ceiling, which is the work of four
celebrated painters.
Access is easily obtained to the gambling sa-
looms. All you have to do is to present your
visiting card at one counter when the clerk hands
you the necessary permit which passes you
through. The same formality has to be gone
through with every time you enter. There are
now twelve roulette tables in full swing and
any time Of the day almost anywhere from a
score to fifty people may be seen at each The
only other game played at Monte Carlo is trent-et-
Quarante, card game
Everyone has heard of the game of roulette,
which consists of the spinning of a wheel In a
tray and the sending of white marble ball in
the opposite direction. The tray is numbered l
| to &c and 0, and the winning number is that in
which the ball finally rests II you back the win.
| ming number you receive thirty-fve times your
stake. Or you back two numbers and II one
turns up you receive seventeen times your stake.
and so on The smallest coin you can put down
| Is five francs, the limit being 1900
Obviously, the chances are thirty-six to
! against any single number turning up. So none
but the reckless gambler takes one number at
| time. He backs twelve, takes evens-namely,
places his money on red or black or on the num-
| bers below IS or above IS. He endeavors TO
work by system"
