Players should draw card when there are
four The bankers game is different. He
judges whether tn e players hands have been
augmented or dim inished by the fall of the
cards. He might tand at four and win, te-
cause the other sid es have taken cards, and
may not have augmented their hands If
the sides stand, 1t is supposed they have at
least five. When elt her the players or the
banker has natural eight or nine it must be
announced al once and shown. Example:
The left has two an a six, or a four and

the case may be. The banker looks at his
card, and does not announce anything. The
rghthand player has not nine or eight or il

double payments are made for naturais.
Only one card can be taken after the two
original cards have been received.
Calling a hand, and making a mistake,
brings with 1t no penalty, because as in
poker. nothing is taken for granted. The
cards must be shown.
Nine Cards may be necessary when the
last round is played. If there are only eight
cards the play ceases. Cards are all gathered
IN. and new deal begins.
Eight or nine made in the first two cards
must be az once announced as eight or
nine" and placed face up on the table.
Ihe person representing the side of the
table where he holds the cards, has d right to
decide whether he will take a third card or
not.
The banker must have money enough to
meet any bet. If he has not he must retire.
The banker can decline continuing his
bank when he pleases.
If the dealer turns over a card given to the
player, he is bound to expose one of his own
cards.
If he exposes two cards in dealing, he
must snow both his own cards, and then the
players have the option of Withdrawing their
bets, or holding the banker TO them.
1t will readily be seen from the above

sumo that the prince and his satellites
were indulging in no Sunday school
game. So far as the testimony shows,
the limit was placed at Els, or about S75
of American money. The manner of

one of the thigh mucky-mucks'a 'at Tran

taken i'll connection with the description
of the game as here given. The baronet
got in his fine work by slipping an ad-
ditional counter out of his hand, or flip
ping it across the line with a pencil,
when the card turned up was favorable
to him. This was OH the night of Sept.

the heir apparent was acting as banker,

Wilson. pushed an extra e10 over the
line, and the same evening asked to
have an extra so paid him for a 910
counter which he claimed had not been
noticed by Wales.
