They "did" Egypt, Palestine, the Orient, establishing foreign offices as they went...
Then ensued what observers described as "an orgy of baccarat." Itinerant gamblers for miles around, learning that Dashing Jack was at the "shoe," flocked to and swamped Frank Jay Gould's place. They came in morning coats, they came in knickers, some came in trunks, bathing suits, beach robes.
