has been visiting friends in the couaty

Int has lost nothing of the genial courtesy
which made him so popu ar while here.
While he still expresses much fondness for
his native county he says that his success
in the South has been 90 much beyond
his expectation that he is not likely to
leave his adopted home in Mississippi, at
least for the present. Clarke has been
ch.erfully and wsr.nly welcomed by his
many friends here and all tender him
congratulations on his improved looks
and worldly success. He will remain in

OBSERVATIONS ON WHIST.
when Z. It Proper to Play the King sss-
opd Hand?

J
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 u b
much disputed point among that class Of
players who have not thoroughly mastered
the game.
"What am ! TO dor said young player to
me recently. "Just now you told mo that
should have played the king second hand, and
this time ! followed your plan, and, Mr..
smarty, you sec lest the tricki"
"You should not have played the king this
time" | 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 arc trumps, aud that the player on
your right opens the game with the 8 8,
aud you have in your hand the K and Of
s. Now tho question Ia, What shall you
playi
II you play the G the ace may be In tho
leaders hand aud the chances are that your
viii he captured on the second round. If,
on the other hand you play the K, third hand
may have the ace. or course, tho general
rule is 10 play second hand low, but here Il 3
case where, il you can only make the right
play, you may DO able To save the game There
Is nothing more aggravating than 20 lose r
king in this way, and, on the other hand, ~
fine sport to be able TO make your trick
OF course, the only plan to folloy<k to tell
by the fall Of the cards just where tho ace
lies. But In this case only ono Gard has fallen.
Remember, hearts are trunps. aud 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 II
a a. - ..l.a nrAf N
hs has in his hand lower card, and II 50
then his original suit Of contained at least
five cards Now the rule is, when you have
five headed by the ace, 10 play the ace first
for the reason that it may be trumped on the
second round
Therefore you Immediately reason from
the leaders play of tho $, first, that he PLACED
from u suit Of five; second, that he hasn't the
ace. Now YOU know that II third hand has
got the ace he Is bound to follow tho rule Of
third hand high unless ho has the q also, In
which case he may iinesse, but/this Is very
remote, and play il, whichwill Of course
clear the suit for your King OH the second
round You know that If your partner holds
the ace the same result will follow, collse-
quently you play the d In nine eases out Of
ten the ace will bo played on the first round
and your king viii be good on the second
rfvlu1, prONidtiS u Is not trunpcu, put you
win have to take the chances. This, however,
wouli make no difference, anyway, 80 far as
the proper play is concerned.
But il the leader plays the 2 first, this opens
a new tield for inference. By the play OF the
9 he ihows that he is leading from a suit of
four. As you hold the and 6. the chances
are that he has the a In this case you play
the second hand OF course you will get
caught occasionally, but me course Of play
outlined above Is the proper one.
