TIE BILLIARD ROOM.

splendid rooms are the drawing room, the
iiva's boudoir, the billiard room and the con-
servatory, which has already been mentioned.
Patti and her husband are both enthusiastic
billiard PLAYERS When travelling they have
tables set UP in their hotel rooms in all places
where they stay more than one night. In
the room at the castle are two tables, one a
6 by l. English pocket table and the other a
~ by American carrom table The billiard
room also contains a mammoth orchestrion
the largest in the world.
The conservatory was built with particular
regard to the view which il commands and is
probably used more than any other room in
the castle 1t is the home OF PATHS four par
rCts and other Of her pets, and in it lunch
and dinner is often served, breakfast being
invariably served III the bedrooms.
The isolated location Of thecastle makes ex-
traordinary precautions against thieves neces-
sary There is hardly room IN the house
which is not full of the costliest of bric-a-bTac,
and PATHS Jewels are valued at hundreds of
thousands OF dollars
There are forty servants in the castle and
about the grounds, and generally enough
guests, when Patti is at home, to swell the
number Of people at Craig-y-Nos to nearly a
hundred; but the castle is protected by the
most perfect system of burglar alarms in e1-
istence, Just the same All the windows and
doors are concealed by electric wires, so that
if they are tempered with ever so little the
whole household viii at once be aroused.

ture of loan ard fine sand, sprinkled and
rolled until tits almost as hard and smooth
as a floor The grounds have been compared
and not inaptly-to five great billiard tables,
and the game that is played on them, the en-
thusiasts say, is quite as scientific and 40
quires quite as much skill to be properly
played as billiards
Those people who have amateur croquet
grounds laid out on their lawns would open
their eyes to see an expert game in progress.
Instead of the six or eight inch wide wickets
rising from the turf. they would see arches
only $50 inches wide, through which the
player must send his ball. itself only half an
inch narrower than the arch. The central
wicket, or cage, IS only 80 inches wide
The men who have won first prizes since
the organization of the association are as fol-
lows:
In 1882, A. G. Shipman, Of New York;
1885, G.. W. Johnson, of Philadelphia; 1884,
Gen Harland, of Norwich; 1885, c. Hall
Botsford, of New York; 1886, Professor
Charles Jacobus, of New Brunswick, \. J
1887, A Wambold, of Staten Island; 1855, n.
L. Bishop, of Norwich; 1889, q. W. johnson,
of Philadelphia.
It will be seen by the foregoing that Mr..
johnson is an old prize winner, having been
victorious in 1883. n. L. Bishop, the retiring
champion, did very creditable work during
the recent tournament, and proved that past
honors had been deserved

OBSERVATIONS ON WHIST.
When Is 1t Proper to Play the King Sec
oDd Hand?

am asked what is the proper card to play
second hand, with king and one small card
only There are very few players who know
how to make this play correctly, and it is a
much disputed point among that class Of
players vino have not thoroughly mastered
the game.
What am l to dog' said a young player to
me recently. Just now you told me that l
should have played the king second hand, and
this time | followed your plan, and, Mr.
Srnarty, YOU see | lost the trickI'
you should rot have played the king this
time" l replied; because the indications
were that the ace was not in the leaders,
hand And this point is what the play
invariably hinges on Say, for instance, that
hearts are trumps, and that the player on
your right opens the game with the s S,
and you have in your hand the and Of
S. Now the question is, What shall you
play?
If you play the the ace may be in tho
leaders hand and the chances are that your
k will be captured on the second round. If,
on the other hand, you play the K, third hand
may have the ace. OF course, the general
rule is to play second hand low but here is
case where if you can only make the right
play, you may be able to save the game. There
is nothing more aggravating than to lose
king in this way, and, on the other hand, it Is
fine sport to be able to make your trick.
Of course the only plan TO follow is to tell
by the fall of the cards just where the ace
lies But in this case only one card has fallen.
Remember hearts are trumps, and the leader
plays the S.
We suppose. of course, that the game is
PLAYED in accordance with the rules and that
the leader has played his fourth best. Now IL
the is his fourth best the chances are that
he has in his hand a lower card, and If so
then his original suit of S contained at least
five cards Now the rule is, when you have
five headed by the ace, TO play the ace first
for the reason that il may be trunped on the
second round.
Therefore you Immediately reason from
the leaders play of the S, first, that he played
from q suit of FIVE: second, that he hasn't the
ace Now YOU know that If third hand has
got the ace he IS bound 70 follow the rule OF
third hand high unless he has the q also ii
which case he may fneSse, bat this is very
remotel, and play it, which viii Of course
clear the suit for your king on the second
round. You know that if your partner holds
the ace the same result will follow, couse-
quently you play the c. In nine cases out of
ten the ace viii be played on the first round
and your king viii be good on the second
round, providing it is not trunped, but you
will have 10 take the chances. This, however.
would make no difference, anyway, 50 far as
the proper play is concerned
But if the leader plays the 2 first, this opens
new field for inference. By the play Of the

NICOLTNI AND PATTI.

The story of PATHS first love affair, as told
by her letters 10 her betrothed, gives n
glimpse of her character which could hardly
be obtained in another way. Her elder sister
married Maurice Strakosch and very natur-
ally Adelina was thrown much in the COM
pany of her brother-in-law's younger broth
er, Max, while they were both living in New
York Fer first letter to him was from Lon
don 1t contained hardly a mention of her
wonderful success III that city, but evidenced
a wealth of unselfsh affection. In one letter,
dated London June Is, 1864, she said
Il have been singing lately four times a
week, on account Of Miss Lucca running
away" That was all she had TO say of an
event which at the time turned all the mu-
steal world topsy turvy and attracted much
attention to the young singer-for Lucca had
run away through jealousy Of Patti In all her
letters occur similar evidences of nnodesty and
lack of ego.isn. Some of them are interest
ing in another way They are real love let
tiers, ardent, and even almost gushing. In one
she says, after a mere mention OF her work
without a word about her wonderful sue
cesses:
Dear Max, if you only knew how sad
am to think YOU must positively go to Mad
rid. Ny only hope Is that you will keep your
promise and como back to me Immediately
after Brisnoli's first representations. And
also. il YOU should be obliged to leave before,
or return to Paris, l hope you will come here
to Lyons and take your good-by kiss, as am
here waiting for you"
Another ends like this after hoping that the
climate will agree with his dear health"
