THE HEN FROM CHICAGO,

Does any fly who walks into M. Blanc's par lour, one is tempted to wonder, ever issue thence as fat as when he entered? One would fancy not to judge by the figures of this paralysing balance sheet. Nevertheless, the stories of fortunes made at Monte Carlo persis tently outnumber those of fortunes lost. Whether this singular phenomenon is trace able to the "Press subvention," which.in 19at. (the last

treport in which it seems openly to be alluded to) cost £30,000, it would be impossible to say, though it is admissible to have suspici ons. Thal vertatile gossip, Lieutenant-Colonel Newnham Davis, youches for the truck of an anecdote which credits a Chicago friend of his with scooping five hundred thousand france in the Salles de Jeu in a single day, and (greater marvel still!) having the good sense to sked addle" with the whole sum intact. There is no reason to doubt, too, that in the 190Ï-1- winter season one of the Russian Grand Duker, playing in the Club Privee, made two hundred thousand francs.

1,447,800 which they have earned this year might, with a good deal more fairness to man- kind in general, and the travelling public in particular, have found a resting-place else

where.

A FAMOUS "SWELL-MOISMAN," Probably more money has been lost by the Monte Carlo "Bank" through fraud than through what we must, for lack of a better name, call "honest" piny, An institution such an the Casino is a tempting bait for the pro fessional swind er; and there are more such gentry harboured in Monaco's three miles of territory than in any other spat of similar size in the civilised globe. Tine, the majority of them prey not on the Bank but on us dupes.. Stake-snatching, and various ingenious variants of the confidence truck, form their main stand-by. Still, the Bank itsell suffera from their attentions. A copy of that remark- able weekly. Rouge et Noir"-the "Organe de Defense des foueurs de Roulette et the de Trente-et-Quarante-lies before writer, and contains a full, true, and particular account of one of the most famous, and most amusing, of the many attacks on the Bank which have been planned within recent years. The prime move in the pint was the makni ficent "swell-mobiman Ardisson, who had' successfully worked nearly every pleasure-beater. resort on the Continent; and who now for the first time, turned his attention to the seemingly unassailable fortress of wealth by the Tideless Sea. Ardisson, it seems, "spied out the land" at Monte Carlo a month or more before be attempted operations; and, clad in an un assuming disguise, made a particular study of the gaming tables and the methods of play Like many wise folks before and since, he came to the conclusion that Roulette war unworthy of his attentions. Its compassion game, Trenie-el-Quarante, gave him, however, Tume food for thought. It was played with cards; it was non-mechanical; the "personal equation" entered into its procedure; and finally, the staker were high. In frente et Quarante, theh, he saw his opening.

CREATING A DIVERSION.. Vanishing for a space from the neighbour- hood of his blissfully ignorant victims he returned eventually, accompanied by a friend of his own sex (and profession), and a couple of beautiful and well-dressed Indies. The party ranged themselves, two on each side of the Trente-et-Quarante board; and while the croupier was shuffling the cards preparatory to arting a fresh set of deals, the lady ou one side engaged the umpire in ingenuous chat- asking explanations of how the game was played, and so forth-while, she on the other requested Umpire Number Two to supply her At the with gold change for a banknote. precise instant when the croupier was rely to begin one of the ladies dropped fifty louis on the floor, where they roiled noisily hither and thither, creating a most unseemly diversion, and attracting all eyes from the cloth. Alten- dants gathered up her gold; whereupon the game proceeded. The Ardisson quarieite, as the Gallic chronicler playfully has it, “attaquent vigoureusement par paquets de mile la rooge et la couleur; and behold, "Rouge gagne et couleur" no less than three times running, And, to cut a long story short, whichever way the quartette stake (and they have the finesse to vary their staking more than once), they win. After eight coups "la societa se retire majestueusement,” carrying with them 180,000 francs of the Bank's money. At the door of the Casino a smart carriage awaits them, and in five minutes they are whirled across the frontier.
