With a phenomen al series of succe sses dating back thirte en ;rears, this. f!pect ucular favori te of the Godde ss of Chanc e has establ ished a record that Is likely to stand for a long time. Twice within a period of ten days he left the trente et quara nte tables a winne r to the exten t of 300,000 francs . Last year he stopp ed play thirty -eight times at his favori te table ol'lly after stripp ing It of its quota of funds, a feat poetic ally but errone ously known as "brea king the bank." For no one has much chanc e of really b1·eak!ng the bank of the great Monte Carlo gamhl lng organ izatio n, a stock compa ny found ed In 1898 under the cheer ful title "Soci ete des Bains de l\Ier" (Socie ty for Sea Bathi ng). Its paid-I n capita l amou nts to many millio ns of dollar s, and the occasi onal big winni ngs of which one hears make but small nicks in the bulgin g treasu ry and can easily be charg od of! to adver tising expense . And good adver tising It Is. When a lucky playe r ''brea ks the bank" at Monte Carlo --that Is, com· pels the table to cease play until It has replen Ished Its cash box-a ll the world hears of it. What It doesn 't hear, howev er, Is the steady clinkclink of gold, fiowln g Into the Casin o's strong box from the regula r and almos t calcul able losses that fall to avera ge gambl ers. The ball o~ chanc e has travel ed milllo ns ot miles aroun d the rims of the roulet te wheel s at Monte Carlo In the fifty years of their merry and tragic cllckin g. And among the legion s of playe rs who anxio usly have follow ed the ball's path there ha>e been many pictur esque figure s. The comet of tha '90s was Capt. Arthu r Bowe r, the geniu s who in a single sitting plied up more than $1,000,000. In a single day he smash ed the bank three times, throw ing the croup iers and Casin o officials Into a state of frenzy with his power ful assau lt on all the princi ples of chanc e. Leavi ng the casino , he spent his money with a prodig al hand. He Upped a barma id $25 and a walte r $100, In Paris he hired a cafe orche stra and took It orr with him on his specta cular tour of the COQtlnent . Runni ng short of mone y-wh ich was not Infrequent ly-he would hie himse lt to the neare st casino , not only Monte Carlo, but also at Osten d, San Sebas tian and other famou s gamin g places ot Europ e, and begin his terrifi c drive on the bank. He had spent many years In South Ameri ca, he would declar e, perfec ting his system of play. And, whate ver It was, It worke d. He sporte d a yacht and a town house In Londo n. Later he marri ed a woma n with $5,000,000, but they quarr eled and paxted . Finall y his luck broke . Becom ing Involv ed In untur tunate t>nter prtses , he saw hls fortun e melt away. The other day In Londo n he was found dead In n JShabby board ing house . N<l one knows wheth er Bowe r's succe ss was due to a system or just plain luck, but while he was winni ng It was no secret that he had the C'Rs!no p1·opr ietors worrie d. The men on both sides of 1he roulet te table are human , and desplt P the huge annua l profit s accrui ng to the manag ement , tla•re Is alway s the fear on the latter 's part that someo ne will come forth with a system again st which no wheel can stand. To date no system ever luis put the main bank In dange r or even come near to doing so. But the Casin o realiz es that with so many minds focusi ng upon the Intric acies of the game there ls a!way s the remot e possib ility that some gt>nlus may evolve a system that might cause the Oasln o to totter on Its finant 'ial founclatlons. Muny years ugo the famou s Jagge rs worke d a system which , for a time, baffled the Ca.slno.
