Lord Rosslyn's "System."

Lord Rosslyn, who commenced operations at Monte Oirio recently with « " system," for wbich he claims infallibility, docs not appear to have made a very, successful start. Reports do not quite igree ag to the results of hie play. The Monte Carlo correspondent of tha New York Journal states th»t hif Lordship won £4000 oq Tuesday, bat all the other correspondents agree that while be won £420 on Monday, he !oil that on Tuesday, and nearly £2000 in addition. He told one of the correspondent! | that he started with a capital of £10,000 ! half of wbich he recently won at O§« tend. It is said that be does not expect I to break the bank or bring off sensational coups with his system, bat to raak« eteady progress from day to day. For months be hie been experimenting with it. The games which he plays are trente-et-qaareute and ronlette. He began on Monday by staking a louis, to the great surprise of those who thought that en modest a venture could hardlj lead to great results. Throughout Monday he played with Taking luck, but he pegged away steadily; and came out a winner at the end of the play of £420. He stuck to trente-eU qunrante, and paid a man to keep hi* sent while he went for refreshments. Hiving lost £2400 on Tuesday, hif Lordship turned to roulette on Wednei* tiey, playing sm»U stakes, and is reported on the day. He was, however, stilt very sanguine.
