In 1866 General A. W. Dravson adopted the
lead OF the penuitimate from five and the ante
penultimate from six. Thirteen years later,
in the cart of Practical Whist" he called at
tention TO this lead Cavendish, in reviewing
his work in The Field, stated this innovation
is n OF likely to be OF any value. A few years
after Cevendish announced in the Field that
this lead OF the fourth best was one OF the
greatest advances in whist during many years,
and forgot to mention Major-General Dray-
sons name in connection with its origin.
Trist, in 1884 or 1885. simpIifed the ex-
preston from "penuitimate" and "ante-
penuhimate" to Fourth best" We cannot
give too great honor to Mr.. Trist for his won-
derful system of leads and for the knowledge
he has given 10 us through his scientific study
and research; but spirit OF justice to Gen
eraI Drayson demands that attention be
called to him as the originator OF the now
called fourth-b best lead.
May /, IN this connection, state that three
other fine plays were first rought TO notice
by General Drayson, viz: The "change of
suit" and "reverse discard" which are looked
upon by many expert players most impor-
tant innovations and without doubt trick
winners; and the now quite common irregu-
lar lead, as signal for trumps through an
honor turned, which is by many considered a
comparatively recent invention, but which
was suggested by Drayson in 1870, as was
stated in THE CALL q few weeks ago.
With all due respect for "Cavendish" and a
keen appreciation of the many good things
con tanned in the article aforementioned, but
with spirit OF justice to all, modes ly SUBJ
nit this article for your consideration. Very
respectfully, L. w. sITToN.

Letter From the President of the
Wheelock Club. Portland.

To the Whist Editor Of the Call: have been
reading an article by "Cavendlsh" in Scrib-
ner's for November on "Wha. America Has
Done for Whist" and beg TO call your atten-
ton to one of the statements made therein.
He gives all honor to n. B. Trist of New Or
leans for the perfect system of play known and
embodied as the American lead, which was
originated by Mr.. Trist in 1888 He goes on
In detail 10 explain the sys tenn of the original
lead of high card, and the proper follow
from two Indifferent high cards 10 show num-
ber; the lead of high card and the follow of a
low card, etc., showing how the rule of play
has been formulated with principle contain.
ing the element OF simplicity.
Then he comes 10 the lead of a low card.
saying it was formerly the practice TO lead the
lowest il long suit. Then followed the lead
of the penultlmate from a suit OF five or m ore.
which Drayson improved upon by the lead OF
the antepenultimate from suit of six.
Cavendish states further that the principle of
leading fourth best was "struck simultan-
eously" by himself and Mr. Trist their letters
crossing on the Atlantic.

Mr.. George L. Bum recognized as one OF the
leading whist-players living, ana one of the
committee OF experts to report at the seventh
congress system of play, says, in q recent
article to the st. Paul Globe.
The call for trumps is valuable wespon,
but it should be used with judgment The
idea that player must display his knowledge
of this simple artifice just because he hap
pens to hold great trump strength should
be abandoned by those who hope ever to
play good game OF whist. One very frequent
situation where a call ought not TO be made,
yet often is, is where the trump hands part
ner opens with the ace of plain suit, and
the trump hand has two small cards OF that
suit, and no suit OF his own that requires
trum Up exha usting. In these cases, if the leader
follows with king, the call must be COM
pleted and the leader must respond at once,
probably leaving his suit unestabljshed and
rendering the making of the small cards OF it
impossible without the presence OF two cards
of re-entry, whereas by continuing the suit for
third round it will be established and but
one re-entry cardAs needed to bring it in if
partner can exhaust the trumps. The follow
ing deal, played in a practice game last week,
illustrates our arg gument:

equaled activity and interest We propose to
meet the demand for daily whist literature by
chronicling in this department the dolngs OF
the fraternity of minister's from the home OF
A. w. L. President Barney. in New England,
to the native town OF Director Tormey, by the
far Pacific.
While the occurrences of interest that take
place in this city will be given the full recog-
milton awarded them in former years, the cir
culation of this department in every part OF
the country demands that it be National
rather than local in its character. We pro-
pose to furnish the minister's OF the United
States with whist daily, which Will give
them the latest news and comment of general
interest
Among the features of this department may
be enumerated:
Special accounts of the A. w. L. trophy
matches.
Prompt report of all games of Importance.
Thorough and scientific discussion OF every
new play.
Clear and distinct explanations for begin
ners.
A reproduction with comment OF match
deals, showing expert play.
Every whist reader on this coast that loves
the game can have daily column OF this
scientific game from the pen OF one OF the
whist giants OF this country. Mr.. Work, by
the way, was one of the term OF four that won
the Hamilton trophy at the congress held d
