cards were courierS, or heralds, or even
statisticians II is not of as much conse-
quence who wins as the manner OF play that
he makes by which he wins.
It is understood that the business OF
whist is TO make the tricks, but there is al
ways best way or managing the cards
that takes them. Whist, par excellence, is
still antagonizing or econOmizing chance
that, with ever-changing aspect, pepetual-
ly challenges comprehension. -Four equal
players of whist, all strong, enjoy, there
fore, the highest mental qualification that
can be afforded by any amusement ever de-
vised. Whist is the great game OF the
world. In it cards are conversational.
The business of the players is to direct this
conversation. A single card is capable OF
conveying most varied information. The
little tray OF plain suit may at one time
say: 81 am the lowest card of four;" at
another, 81 am not the lowest" at another,
II want trump led" at another, 81 do
not want a trump led" 1t may be OF more
consequence than the ten to be retained in
hand; it may be better card to play than
any ace or king, telling more important
story: II may determine the existence OF a
combination when queen could not do 1T;
it may be better for the player ID throw
away a king than to keep it: its improper
play may lose game, its proper play may
win one.
