The members of the Capital Bicycle Club
are highly elated on account of their vic
| tory over the Baltimore Whist Club last
Saturday evening, as not even the most
sanguine expected that they would secure
so large a margin as fourteen tricks.
There is a sharp rivalry between the two
Clubs and, as the preceding match re-
suited in favor Of Baltimore, the victory of
last week was especially sweet to the local
experts. washington has won two and
lost two OF the four matches played in the
intercity whist tournament, and the return
| matches with New York and Philadelphia
are yet to be played. They will probably
be played at the rooms OF the c. Bf. b. in
this city within the next two weeks.
The result OF the duplicate whist con-
test at the club last Wednesday evening
| was as follows: Barrick and Carr. plus
two; Hoeke and Borches plus two; Quack-
Cook, plus one: Cole and johnson, zero:
