WHIST AT RIVERSIDE.
A meeting OF the members of the
Rubidoux club was held at Riverside on
Wednesday evening for the purpose of
appointing delegates to the annual
league meeting in July. Messrs. Johnes
aud Barclay were chosen club repre-
eentatives, being the only members who
will be in the east at that time.
A lively game OF team whist followed.
four married ladies contssting the rub
Der against their husbands. The ladies
played good Whist, while their husbands
seemed nonplused by this novel kind OF
match, and played disastrously. The
wives won, with IL points to spare,
amid the applause of the other club
members. .-.-----.-
LOCAL WHIST CHAT.
The Athletic club members, led by
Msssrs. DssCamp, Childs and Foord,
whose wives are experts at the game,
are strongly in favor OF extending the
courtesy OF the new club to ladies and
gentlemen alike; but there is another
faction, who. il less numerous, are more
fixed In their ideas that whist ia not in
tended for a ladies' game, and that a
mixed club will soon degenerate into q
mere gathering. The ladies are Justly
indignant at such expressions, and two
of them have offered to play rubber Of
20 boards OF dn plicste whist with the
ladies of the opposition. to decide
whether or not they shall be eligible to
hold memberships.
The arrangements for the new whist
rooms have not yet been completed.
Some members object to the fourth floor
on account OF there being no elevator
after 80 pm.
The committee has been notified that
there will be vacant rooms on the second
floor of the Stowell block after the LIST,
and these will probably be occupied by
the nsw club.
The following interesting hand was
played in the Athletic club rooms, on
Friday evening. between M essrs. Merrill I
and Foord playing north and south and
Messrs. DeCsmp and Rudy, who played
east and west.

of which jack ia one, but that he has no

Following ace by jack. one knows tina
partner has at least five cards in suit, o
which queen is one, and he declares a
the Same time that he has not the king
INSTRUCTIVE HINTS.
1fpartner follows the head with the
ten, he has remaining in his hand the
queen aud jack only, and declares q
4-card suit.
The lead OF ace followed by a small
cardiff properly followed-that card
should be his fourth best in hand. and
in whist language says: "Have not the
king; have not both queen and jack ;
but have two cards higher than this
small card and at least one lower"
The ace, then, if originally and Of
course properly led, declares one of the
i've following conditions: that it will be
followed by king. or queen, or JACK, or
ten, or by fourth best card.
When partner leads an ace you play
your smallest card; if he follows with
the queen and you hold the king and
two others, you do not play the king. as
you cannot block him; but if he fol-
lows the ace with jack. aud second hand
follows suit. play your king, because he
is etronE enough in the suit to PERMIT it,
and such play leaves partner with the
command of the suit.
The leads, follows and conventions
generally form the elements OF whist
language. which becomes Ineligible as
the cards separately and silently fall on
che table, and it must be noted that the
language is both positive and negative.
