Every Gard a Message.

Sir William Pole, the great whist philoso-
pher, says:
The player Is hound to bear constantly in min d
that every card he plays conveys a message to his
partner as distinctly as If 1t written In letter.
and that II he makes this message untrue by care
lessness or unnecessarily violating the ordinary
rules Of play, even in so small particular as the
throwing away of useless cards. he imDerils the
Joint interests and renders the great instrument of
action (the combination of the hands) of uncertain
effect. The necessity of regularity and care in
the play Is curiousy illustrated by the character
OF truthfulness generally ascribed 10 IT, The
player who violates this regularity, by playing q
card different from that which, as q matter OF
routine, mis- partner would expect him to play is
said 10 play "false,' and the card so PLAYED Is
called false card" Clay says 10 such person :
''You have told me. as plainly VIII st language
can speak, such and such fact deducibie from
your play. In no other.position Of life would you
tell me that which is untrue why do You so here?''
He ADDS:
''The best whst-player is he who plays tie game
In the simplest way, and who always bears in
mind the great AKIN, that 1t is of more import
ance to give information 10 his partner than TO
deceive his adversary.
"Iyalue that player the most who never de-
ceives me, and whose unvarying certainty enables
me, as 1t were, to play his cards with almost the
same knowledge OF them as have CT my own"

brary Association will give progressive whis
or euchre reception and party in their room
In the Mercantile Library building on Wednes-
day evening, October 21. No one that re-
ceiVes an invitation should stay away. 1t is
given for the benefit OF the library.
We note that the erstwhile chess cham
pion ~ Mr. Thompson has seen fit to withdraw
from the tournament at present going on at
the Mechanics Institute. The only known
reason for this "move" was the fact that in
his first game with young 'sgreen" player he
was at least not getting the best of the play.
We are confident no whist-player would act as
unsportsmanlike in a similar case.
Villa m Mill Butler, auther of "Whist in a
Nutshell" is about to issue a new edition, and
has invited whist editor to assist in its re-
vision. 1t would be most excellent idea to
wait until after the seventh congress. The
laws will be revised, and the same should ap-
pear in every whistbook.
| r. +. Foster, whist editor of the New York
| Sun, writes us that the Rochester IN. VI Post
| Express has started whist column In q
| postscript Mr.. Foster advises us not to read
! "Boardman's Winning Whist" as it is full OF
short-suit heresy. If Mr.. Foster will read the
Sunday CALLS whist articles he will see there
the position we take as regards "short-suit1sm."

capture of the trophy, but the Vallejo boys
without struggle surrendered everything else,
nothing was too good for the visitors, The

Score: North and South, z; East and West,6.
Table 2. South at this table opens with tn
conye ntional lead OF ace.
Trick 2. The fall in the first trick does not
show which hand is out, and South can do
nothing except to CONT nue. his suit. He leads
fourth best of those renal ming although this
is of little consequence.
Trick A. North can read five clubs remain
ing in south's hand, leaving but five cards to
be divided between the three other suits. 1t
ii not safe for him to return hearts as the adj
versaries are in full control, and he cannot
tell whether South is out OF the suit or not;
there is nothing whatever for him TO lead
trumps for, and he is driven to open his nu.
mercally long but utterly weak suit OF
diamonds.
Trick 5. East perhaps had better lead trumps
at this point as the heart suit is with his part
ner. and he has a fair control of diamonds. He
has reason to believe, however, that North is
strong in trumps, and dlslikes to lead up to
him. He prefers TO retain the tenace in dia-
monds and so leads to his partners previously
established suit.
