Io rigt the dividend was to francs less than in 1892, while in the previous year shareholders | had to content themselves with only 160 francs. that is, a paltry dividend of 324 per cent, Besides this in the last six years a million francs has been set aalde annually as reserve fund, which gow amounts to $1,200,000, 10 that by 1893, in the ordinary course of events, the company will have a reserve fund as big as its capital, in addition to the gardens-buildings and property in which the original capital was sank, and will have been paying dividends varying.from 30 to 40 per cent wil through on the original capital. These figures do not, however, represent the full winnings of the company, for they have first to Pay immense expenses.

After that come bithes to new papers, subsidies to theaters, pensions to persons who have been ruined at the tables, salaries to croupiers, chuckers-out and detectives, the total amounting to about $2,250,000, which is about half the gross gain of the company. The explanation of these enormous wlanings is the fact that the company possesses a monopoly of roulette, and that as it seems that man is determined to play roulette the only result of suppressing the game elsewhere is to enable a single company to offer every possible attraction to draw people to their rooms and at the same time to pay enormous dividends to their share- kolders.
