Mr.. Eugene s. Elliott, the secretary, has
worked like u beaver and has assurances
that the tourney will be an immense sue
cess. He even expects some of the foreign
lights Of tho whist world, perhaps the old
warhorse Cavendish himself. Many a
whist fiend would 70 farther thnn Milwau-
kee to cut into q rubber with the famous
writer on whist; and the added possibility
of beating him. What a lion the player
would be who could say: eyes, l went to
Milwaukee, and we beat Cavendish two
straight games"
But there are men in this country that are
SO dead to any sense of true fame that they
would sooner beat the champion team Of
the Hamilton club than Cavendish himself.
Cavendish has been beaten very often both
by bettor players and by better luck; but
the Hamilton has so far an unbroken
record of victories. Perhaps it is safe to
say that MIR. Gus Remak of this team is
the best whist player in America, if not the
strongest now living. He possesses in an
eminent degree oil the essentials of an ex-
pert. Thoroughly up in the books to
a clear head for strategy and a keen eye for
small cards he adds a sound Judgment of
human nature, which is very necessary to
the match player. His great strength lies
in his rapid insight, IL his of gen.
eralization. As an instance: n player on
his right had shown that he was inclined to
play a very forward game, and take great
chances on finding the strength with his
partner that he lacked himself. Presently
this player led the suit in which he had evil

Ibis shows an unbroken series of victor
les, forty in number and extending over six
years.. A total gainl of 3,427 tricks in the play
OF duplicate hands is a great performance.
While the tournament playing will of
course be a prominent feature at the con-
gress, it will not be the only business on
hand. The Milwaukee club will appoint a
committee to draw up a code of laws more
suited to the peculiarities of the American
game than the English code now in use.
N. B. Trist, of New Orleans, a we'll known
writer on the game, and the inventor of the
system of so-called American leads has been
named as ons. II. F. Foster as another,
and the third will probably be T. Schwartz,
of Chicago. The new code will be acted on
by the delegates from all the clubs, and
will probably be the future authority for
America. This will settle the difficulty now
experienced 10y SO many various ways of
playing the game throughout the country.
In the east they usually count the rubber
points, giving three points for a score of
five to nothing; two points if the adversa-
ries are not half way, and only one if they
are three or four points up; always adding
game. In New England many count right
ahead, which is the universal way on the
many trains where a ruober is INDUCED in
to pass the time while travelling. The odd
tricks are counted up indefinitely. until the
play ceases, and then those having the most

west the common way is to play for Il
definite length of time, perhaps from eight
until eleven, and on the tap of the bell the
side that has made the most odd tricks
wins. This is manifestly unfair, as q slow
player may only have played twenty hands
in that time; but won ar average of a trick
a hand, while the faster players have played
eixty hands and have not won half a trick q
hand, but are still the winners. At the
Commonwealth club in Worcester, they
have adopted an unique way of scoring.
The game is five points, but they
play every hand out, and the total
number of tricks are credited.
This is to prevent the frequent occurrence
of a fine hand, capable of winning perhaps
six odd tricks, coming in when only one
being lost TO the players who should have
the credit of the five extra tricks. Another
point of difference is the manner of deter
mining the trump. At the Milwaukee
Whist club, and in many others in the
west, the trump is cut from the still pack,
two packs being used in play. Most play
ers object to this as it spoils some of the
fine points in the game. When Cavendish
was asked for his opinion of it two years
ago he did not think the matter worthy of
serious attention, the old way being so
much the best; yet Mr.. j. Rheinar., of tho
Milwaukee club, is n strong advocate for
cutting the trump from the still pack, and
his opinion ought to have some weight. rs
he was the man of all others that the great
Deschapelles fsncied for his partner in i'm
portant matches. He always took kheinart
for a partner when he played for a thou
sand francs a game, and on his careful play
Deschapelles is said to nave based many Of
his most brilliant coups, which would have
