lures on whist to all readers of this paper
who love the game. The lectures will be
given once a week. and will be given as
soon as the summer vacations are over.
The rooms will hold but limited num-
Der, and as it will be necessary to have
whist play to demonstrate the beauties of
the game, the first to signify their desire
to accept this offer will be placed on the
list and complimentary tickets will be
sent them by the club.
Sir Charles Russell, Lord Chief Justice
of England, has been invited to attend the
Whist Congress. 1t was stated in the
Literary Digest" some time ago, in a
sketch of Sir Charles, that he was so fond
of whist that he would walk ten miles on
a stormy night to join in good rubber.
We are asked if Trist ever wrote book
on whist, and also when the American
leads were first introduced.
Our answer to the first question is: MOL
Mr.. Trist has never favored the whist
world with a book, but he has written
enough to fill dozen, but no compilation
of his writings has ever been made. Great
effort is being made just now to attain that
end.
To the second question we will say the
american leads" were first introduced to
the whist players of the world by "Caven-
dish" in his Whist DEVELOPMENTS, pub
Iished in the year 1885. This book was
dedicated to Nicholas Browse Trist by the
authOr

WHISTLES.
The Milpitas Whist Club boys thought
it sounded very funny to say the ''eight
spot" or "nine spot" when we spoke of
walloped US so, and they suggested that
we use the phrase the "queen spot" and
the liking spot" that it would be just as
good sense. The Milpitas boys are right.
We never thought how vulgar" it
sounded.
A. H. Martin of the Golden Rule Bazaar
and one of the founders of the Trist Du-
plicate Whist left for New York and the
Brooklyn Congress last evening.
The big cyclone in st. Louis wiped out
the whist column in the Globe Democrat.
1t is to be regretted that such is the case
Alfred WELLER has done noble work for
the cause of whist while in st. Louis. We
will try and follow him to his new field of
labor. His whist writings have always
missed by all the readers of the Globe
Democrat. Howells' new work called
whist Openings" will be out in few
! days-the poor printer is the one that is
| blamed now. This is the season of whist
fads, and Howells' book will give US few
| new ones.

The worst case we know of on record of
'kicking at your partner" occurred in the
| Trist Club rooms one evening last week.
One of the gentlemen played dummy"
When the play of one deal was finished he
growled, grumbled and kicked because
his partner would not lead him e trump

The following letter speaks for itself.

PROPOSED INTERNATIONAL WHIST MATCH A
GENEROUS OFFER.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, May z, 1886.
Editor of Whist Considerable has been said

columns" generally, about an international
whist match-England VS.. United States.

cannot coax or induce whist team across the

let us send one TO England-and beard the lion

whist enthusiasts, will pay the entire expenses
