The Daily Dispatch: December 17, 1860., [Electronic resource], A Successful Gambler Renounces his profession. (search)
A Successful Gambler Renounces his profession. --The Paris correspondent of the Traveller relates that Garcia the celebrated Spanish gentleman who has won in the two seasons about $400,000 from the German roulette and rouge et-noir banks, has solemnly renounced gambling from this time henceforth. The ceremony took place in the church at Valdepenas last month, and was highly impressive. A large crowd witnessed Garcia, dressed in the complete majo costume, make the solemn abjuration before the high altar; choristers, monks, candles, the performance of a tedium, and finally the public burning of a basket of cards, dice, dominoes, &c., completed the cethe ceremony. In the evening Garcia gave a splendid dinner at his residence. From his winning he has endowed a foundling hospital, and another for the children of ruined gamblers. It is suspected that a pretty girl's eyes had some influence in causing the taking of the oath, though Garcia says only that he distrusted himself.
