Evolution of Whist.

Whist, says The London Graphic,
is one Of English origin, but in the
beginning 1t seems to have been
called "triumph,' name which was
afterward corrupted into trump
"Gammer Gurton's Needle" has the
distinction OF first mentioning the
game. The eighteenth century saw
whist in its primitive form, the
whole object of the game being to
win tricks with leading high cards
or trumping. This form of the game
is still largely played in the family
circle. Then came the era Of Hoyle,
which may be said to have lasted
from 1870 to 1860, and taught players
to think not only of their hands, but
Of the other hands also and to take
advantage of the positions Of the
cards IN them. Hoyle also taught
that trumps might be more profita-
bly, employed than in simple trump
ing, and showed that they might be
used to disarm the adversary and
to obtain secondary advantage In
trick making by other suits of less
apparent power.
1t was not until 1869 that the phil
osophical era can be said to have be-
gun, and the origin of the new
movement was knot of young men
at Cambridge, known as the Little
Whist school. This body kept re-
cords OF their games, but no one
thought of making the data known
until DR.. Pole, in 1861, writing Il
paper on games Mt cards for Mac
millians Magazine, remarked in a
note that it would be a good thing
il model games at whist could bo
published. Henry Jones wrote to
say that he possessed the notes of the
Little Whist school, and the result
was that In the following year Mr..
Jones published, under the name Of
Cavendish, his book on the princi-
pies of whist, illustrated by hands
played completely through. Gohe-
renee in the system of play was still
wanting, and this Dir. Pole supplied
in 1864 with his essay on the theory
Of the modern scientific game of
whist.

PROBABLY its observance Of the
late legislature Of Wisconsin
prompts the Madison Democrat, in
connection with mention of the re-
port that Dr. Parkhursts, on his re-
turn from Europe, will inaugurate
an investigation OF the New York
Legislature, to say: II he can purify
that, the story of Hercules and the
Augean stables will be an outdone
record. There will ut once be a de-
mand for forty-four Parkhursts.
It is unquestionable that the field OF
reform in this direction is ripe for
harvest. The municipal leaguers
and civic declarations should see to
it that men of the highest character
are selected as members of the legis-
lative bodies.

ENGLISH ATHLETES.
NEW YORK CLUBS CHALLENGE
NOT YET ACTED ON.
The Chief Difficulty Is That it is an
Open one-Names of Those Who
May Compose the British Team.

London, Dec. 31.-The London Athletic
club has not yet acted upon the challenge
of the New York Athletic club TO send a
team of English athletes to the United
States next year to compete with an
American team. The chief difficulty
seems TO be that the challenge is an
open one, no date being given, and that
the London athletic club will be engaged
in several important meetings here be-
fore June and therefore cannot spare its
best men. Consequently it is not thought
probable that an English team could be
sent over before late next summer and
If this is accomplished it is believed the
following athletes, supposinS everything
else to be satisfactory, will form part of
the English party: W. j. NJ. Barry, who
won the United States hammer throw
ing championship and the English and
Irish championships as well as the cham

New York, Dec. 31.-The Dutch
steamer Prinz Frederick Henrick,
which arrived today from West India
ports, brings news that at the time of
leaving an entire change in President
Hippolyte's ministers was about to
take place. Everything was very
quiet although great scarcity Of
money and hard times prevailed.
Three French men-of-War were in the
harbor of Port Au Prince and it was
reported that they would proceed to
San Domingo to enforce a claim of the
French government against the gov
ernment of San Domingo, owing to the
arrest of a French subject during the
recent robbery of a large sum Of
money from the Bank of San Domingo,
in which President Herueaux was i'm
plicated. There was one Spanish gun
boat at Cape Hayti, one English and
another French war vessel was also
expected at that port, apparently with
the p-cention of backing up the claims
of france against San Domingo

Boise City, Ida, Dec. 31.-[Special.l-
The senatorial contest is now fairly
on. About one-tnird of the members Of
the legislature are on the ground and
others coming by every train. Shoup
opened headquarters several days ago
ana today Sweets rooms were thrown
open by julie Bassett and Ben E. Rich.
Mr.. Sweet is expected to arrive here
Thursday. Senator Shoup will arrive
tomorrow morning. A large delegation
will go to Nampa, accompanied by the
band, to meet him. It is not known
certainly that Senator Dubois will be
here though some of his friends an
nounca he is coming. There is no
change in the situation. AS the mat
ter stands. it is undoubtedly close be-
tween the two leaders, but just how
close none can determine There are
some who are claimed by both sides.
These are said TO have made some sort
of promise to Mr.. Sweet, but are in
clined to free themselves because they
would not have made such promises
had they been fully advised of the ar
rangement between Shoup and Sweet.
