Tricks S-13-North allows South's ten to win,
but takes the eight with his ace and makes
his two small spades. Both South and West
are considerably puzzled as to discardng. We
think West should have held both his clubs,
discarding all his diamonds. as 1t is fairly ap-
parent that North has diamond to lead, un-
less 1t is the ace, and West will be compelled
to throw away all his diamonds, except the
king, In any case, whereas by holding small
club with his ace, if North has not another
diamond, West, after winning with ace of
clubs, will have the small one to lead, which
East may win, whereas the king of diamonds
is sure loser. South should have kept king
of clubs so as to force out ace If North holds
queen, for 1t must be clear to South that North
has no diamond to lead.
CLUB NEWS.
Seven tables participated in the third
game of the present Wednesday night tour
nament. Fiske and Countryman won the
weekly high score badges.
Forty players took part in the third game
OF the ladies' whist tournament. Mrs. Fol-
lett, playing with Mr.. Weatherby, won the
North and South high score badge, with 10
points above the average while Mrs. Nc

the East and West badge, with score of
points above the average. There was

a variation of only 8 points for the East
and West hands. The next ladies' night will

The Gordon trophy continues to excite great
interest. Capt. Fiske's team have won three
successive matches, and, under the rules,
have earned the right to have their names
engraved on the cup. Capt. Stoltze has made
up another team to play against the cham
pions. Messrs. Hay, Potter and Ward are
his associates. and hot fight is expected
next Saturday night
There was no match for the A. w. L.
trophy yesterday. The Des Moines team will
not be ready to play before the 2Sth, but it
is probable that the match will be played
on that date. Nothing more definite has
been heard from Chicago.
There will be meeting of the directors of
the club on Tuesday evening" at which the
whist committee for the next six months
will be chosen. The matter of sending a
team teams to the sixth whist congress,
to be held at Brooklyn in June, and the man
ner of selecting such teams will also be con-
sidered. George l.. Bum.
