) WHIST. }

An examination of the official score
Of the match for the American Whist
league trophy at st. Louis between the
st. Paul club and the American Whist
club, of Boston, shows that ST. Paul
gained a total of thirty-five tricks on
twenty-three deals, thirteen deals show
ing gain of a single point each, eight
deals a gain Of two points each, and
two deals a gain Of three points each.
Boston gained eleven tricks On nine
deals, seven singles and two doubles.
Sixteen deals out of the forty
eight broke even. On the
first ten deals played st. Paul
gained ten tricks and Boston none.
This score tends to show what an
analysis Of the hands will prove-that
st. Paul put up very strong game Of
whist from start to finish. Some few
after it was evident that the match
was won for ST. Paul and the players
had become q trifle less careful.
st. Paul played the North and South
hands at Table 1, and the East and
West hands at Table throughout the
match. Boston playing East and West
at Table l and North and South at
