BAzlQuE.-A couple of our friends have
lately become interested in the French
game of cards called bazique. They
took few lessons in the game from
parties who failed to instruct them prop
erly, and the last few nights have been
up in Russ Scott's Palace saloon playing
the game and. seeminglp knew all about
it, being generally surrounded by
large crowd of outsiders who could not
penetrate the mystery of playing It,
Four decks OF cards we're used every
evening by these amateurs, lead pencils
and sheets OF foolscap swallowed up and
still they kept the game going. An out
slider would say what kind OF game is
that. No outsider would reply, but one
Of the players would turn around and
with knowing air say this is q French
would resume the game. Finally on
Sunday evening last affairs came to a
crisis, one outsider dropped in who
did not ask what gams they vera
playing but on seeing it blurted out.
d! you are not playing that
game right. You have four full decks
Of cards, when you ought to take out
and lay aside from the four decks the
deuces, trays, tours, fives and SKIES" The
young gentlemen did not know what to
say. II they could have slaughtered
that innocent" then and there it would
have relieved their feelings to an extent
that We can also appreciate. But as il
was they simply remarked, well if you
know this game better than we do you
had better play it, and with that got up
and left, much to Scott's relief and tn,
safety of his cards
