The Newtown whist quartet complet-
ed the second of its series of games, Tues
day evening, Peck and Northrop winning
by Il score of POI to 1872 for Cliff and
Leonard. AS a spectator recently said:
'sIf you wish to see good whist, watch
these games" They are played with
care and science and each point fought
for. The games are for 200 points and
third series will be begun, Saturday
evening. The first was won by Peck and
Northrop, who had 204, while their oppo-
nents counted but 1917, though the latter
had 20 points ahead. The second was
closely contested throughout and at no
time did the scores differ more than a
few points. At the beginning of Tues
days game, the scores stood Peck and
Northrop 166, Cliff and Leonard l61. The
latter gained for several games, but the
former at last reached and distanced
| them.
