BACCARAT BANK BROKEN

A LUCKY ENGLISHMAN. Charlee PiwdneHi, a young Englishman who assisted to ‘’break tho bank” at Deauville, was in London for a feAv days recently, with a million and a half francs, or £20,000, his net winof eight days, stored in the strong room of his hotel. Mr Pusinclli is only tAventy-nine years of age. He has lived for some time in America, and is prominently associated with the rubber industry thcro. He will return to America shortly. “When I wont to Deauville I had no intention of gambling,” said Air Pusinelii, “but 1 found the promenade dull, and wandered into the Casino to watch- the tables. 1 began to play chemin do for, and lost 170,000 francs! “The following dny, however, I changed from chemin de fer to baccarat. I made 240,000 francs in one bank, obtaining no fewer than twelve winners in succession! My luck coni tinued. 1 usually won on the largo and lost on the small coups. , “I cleared 1,300,000 francs the fifth day, but the strain of sitting up all night began to tell, so I stopped playing for three days. When I started again, my good luck went straight on until I loft Deauville two days later.” Apart from luck, Mr Pusinelii attributes his success largely to the fact that the Deauville Casino imposes no limit in baccarat stakes. A gambler with sufficient capital and successively doubled stakes i.s certain to win in the end. At Monte Carlo the limit imposed makes it difficult to “break the bank.”
