And the two Hamilton stars" so bright
OF all the games that are known to-day.

And our baltimore Four can beat by
All others who enter the list.

hearts,
And one must play what one can. I say.
But whist, as it's played by people Of

And | think in the play of most women
The tricks might be more evenly divided
If they could only remember to lead the

cided.
But the Baltimore players have held their
own,
As has been most certainly seen.
