AND LOST
ON
PARIS TABLES
Paris, Sept. 30.-(By Mail)
Millions of francs were won and lost across the baccarat tables and the roulette wheels in a frenzy of gambles for stakes hitherto unknown in France during the season which is drawing to a close at Deauville.
Foreigners have been conspicuous in keeping the croupiers busy passing stakes over the green carpets.
Mr. Vagliano, a Greek ship owner, according to L'Avenir, won 3,600,000 francs at baccarat in a sitting of three hours and a half at Deauville recently.
On the other hand, an American, whose the newspapers refer to as the "Tobacco King" is said to have dropped 1,500,000 francs between midnight and daybreak one night during the past week.
"Oh, pshaw, it only means a little over $100,000," he is reported to have told consoling friends.
But the most extraordinary player of them all is a young Cuban, a sugar grower of Havana, who is said to have won about 5,000,000 francs after losing 3,500,000 in August.
"Whether winning or losing his face never gives him away to his opponents and his manner of dealing reminds one of a cat gently stretching out its paw," a French theatrical manager just returning from Deauville told journalists.
