Our Whist Corner


we say that these instances are not
frequent. One other point made
against the ten lead is that 1t affords
too much information to second hand
giving him the opportunity of covering
with queen, holding ace, queen and
otners, or queen and one other. 1t is
doubtful If this information is of much
penent; at any rate, we think it more
than offset by the information that
the drop to a ten lead gives to the
leader: for example, North leads the
ten or trumps from king, Jack. ten
ana two more; South plays ace and
returns a small one; North may finesse
safely, for he knows that the queen is
not alone with East, as 1T would have
: been played second hand if but once
guarded; if North leads fourth best.
the nnesse on the return may lose to
the lone queen. This situation arises
quite frequently, and the ten lead
would seem to be of decided advap-
tage. We have not attempted to adj
vance all the arguments in favor Of or
against the lead, but merely call at
tent1on to one or two points that have
arisen in our experience.
A DEAL FROM THE CONGRESS.
The following deal was played in
the match between Hamilton and ST.
Paul in the semi-f1nals at Manhattan
Beach. st. Paul lost two tricks ON this
hand, and might have made four more
than 1t did. The play Of West at
table one illustrates the fact that the
best whist player will once in while
make serious blunder.

Communicable Trick 1-St. Paul
West leads his fourth best heart from
ace and five others. Hamilton, West,
the ace. The low lead would always
be made by ST. Paul from this hand,
though probably very few experts out
side Of St. Paul and Minneapolis would
commend 1t. The low lead should gain
two tricks in this hand.
Trick EAST leads a trump. West
plays well in not taking the usual ace,
queen finesse, for he knows that if king
wins, North will force South with a
heart; two rounds of trumps are i'm
perative.
Trick S-A fatal mistake; West for
gets for the moment that by playing
ace he has told his partner that he has
not the queen; he should inform him
at once that he has it by leading it;
1t was thoughtless play and a very
expensive one.
Trick from East's standpoint. the
queen of trumps is marked to a GER
tainty with South, and as West should
have the two other trumps, there seems
no possible gain by leading another
round. East therefore returns Vests
heart suit, which he knows is establish
ed. To his great surprise, South trumps
with the ten.
Tricks 5-13-North and South take all
the tricks they can before the hearts
are Luaue. hdQ west returned the
queen Of trumps at trick 3, and follow
ed with small one. East and West
make eleven tricks instead of nine
Table 2-Trick East starts a call
and the unlocking play at the same
time.
Trick West plays cautiously in
continuing the hearts instead of lead
ing a trump. We are not sure that we
have given the exact cards played by
West and East on this trick, as we have
nothing but our memory to rely upon,
but the play was substantially as here
given.
Trick 3South considers it no time
to lead low from his diamond suit
Trick 4-Soutn recognizes the nrin-
ciple of avoiding change of suit, but
carries 1t too far; the heart suit is Who'll
ly with the adversaries, and If the
trump strength is with them, as APP
pears probable from East's play, l.
is very advisable to keep them out Of
the lead IL possible, especially as the
hand that is void of diamonds would
| appear to be the. weak trump hand

There appears to be a feeling in rail-
! SD circles that between the Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific,
so;nething of Importance is liable to
occur within the next few months. The
rumors include improvements on the
terminals of both lines on the coast,
secret agreements, etc. One official of
high position Of another line informed
a reporter for the G l o b e yesterday,
that from certain matters which have
come to view lately, the belief that Mr..
III has some unknown interest in the
Northern Pacific is growing. At any
rate, the attitude of the two roads to-
ward each other is materially changed.
The exodus Of the entire directing
staff of the Northern Pacific with the
capitalists interested, to the coast last
month, and the simultaneous visit of
the Great Northern officials. evidently
means considerable, Upon their return
to the city yesterday, the officials of
both roads mutually maintained great
secrecy.
That the president of the Northern
Pacific and the president of the Great
Northern held a long conference in
Seattle, is vouched for by a Seattle
morning paper, which has reached the
city. 1t is the impression on the coast
that the Northern Pacific is in con-
trol of the union depot situation in
Seattle. Certain property has been in
litigation in the courts for some time,
and the Northern Pacific is supposed
to be trying to secure a decree IN the
foreclosure proceedings which will place
that road in control of the valuable
terminal facilities. Unless there was
an agreement the Northern Pacific
could freeze out the Great Northern,
the Union Pacific, and the Oregon Rail-
way and Navigation company. The

ana the apple struck him on the neck
