PARIS, August 29.-Wind and rain
off the Atlantic turned Deauvilles
grand semaine into the biggest gamb-
ling week known in any European
resort for years. The games have
been going all afternoon and all
night.
a successful gambling season needs
one real plunger, and Deauvillc has
Andre CItroen, whose luck has run
heavy both ways. He first ran 20,-
900. 600 francs loser and then turned,
and now does not seem able TO lose.
At the 26.0o0-franc game, where he
often stands for half an hour pick
ing up or dropping few thousand
francs. there is always crowd
watching every play
One night he picked up 100000
francs that way at Chemin de Fer
while on his way to the real eve
ning's sport in Sale Privee. Others
following his bets more than tripled
their winnings. the house being out
more than million francs on a few
minutes play.
Wales Gives Color.
1t would not have been a real sea-
son at Deauville if there had been no
royalty there. King Alfonso of Spain
was too busy at home to take his an
nual jaunt up to the French coast, but
the Prince OF Wales came TO give the
necessary royal touch. He forgot to
worry about being heir TO d throne,
aud won a couple of days. Newcom-
erS stopped TO stare at him as he
wandered about with friends. He fell
easily into the regular Deauville rou-
tine. breakfast at noon. d swim and
perhaps polo in the afternoon, a little
game before dinner and a real game
in the evening, with supper at ! and
the game again until dawn, when it
is pleasant to walk in the fresh morn
ing before going to bed. He came for
a short stay and remained longer, SO
his valet wondered what he was 60
ing to do'about royal evening shirts.
The prince solved ii by taking to the
soft pieated shirts such as many
Anne ricanS at Deauville are wearing.
He broke Eng lish tradition when he
did it and his countrymeH were
shocked as only the British can be
ocked-but they found consolation
in the joke that the prince was in
training for his American trip.
Auto Incidents Thrill.
In the Deauville casino, where sue
cess in publicity is gauged by the
amount OF conversation one creates,
two automobile exploits have figured
recently. Some one telephoned to
Mrs Mary Heaton of New York. who
was in Paris, to come down to Deau
VILE. 1t was midnight
''All right she replied. I'll be
down to supper
She got a couple Of friends with
fast car and she was in Deauville at
: o'clock in the morning-the usual
supper hour. The trip was declared
d record. as the distance of $50 kilo-
meters required a J0mile average
speed.
Young Mccormick Steel said:
That's no time. | can make il in
less"
ON a bet he left the Deauville
casino at o'clock the same morning
and at 6:16 he was in Paris. He
averaged 11S kilometers an hour.
