The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-11-08

Our column last week was of a light
er vein than Usual We could not re-
sist the temptation of poking a little
fun at the New York whist players,
who think they have formulated a
system of play that will win against
any team that plays the old style game.
We have never said anything in de-
rcgation of the quality of the whist
played by the New York boys. Indeed.
our opinion Is and had always been
that New York ought to be able to
furnish four whist players who would
at least play on even terms against
such teams as Hamilton. Chicago and
st. Paul. We believe hat New York
now has such q team, and hat just as
soon as its members discard the ''sys-
tenn" and get down to business on the
old long suit lines, this fact will be
made apparent to the whist world.
NARRAGANSETT VS.. BROOKLYN.
The match for the A. W. L. challenge
trophy played last Saturday between
the N-arragansett Whist club and the
Brooklyn Whist club resulted in q tie
score. The tie was Immediately played
of and Narragansett won by eight
tricks. We give below the score by
deals. which, together with the COM
ment on the match, we lake from the
Philadelphia Telegraph:
The full score Of the Narragansett-
Brooklyn match shows the most Won
derful changes on record. 1t seems
hard to explain how such enormous
Swings" from one side to the other
could be made. Narragansett's great
brace, when they were eleven behind
with only eight boards to play, was the
finest exhibition of uphill work in the
annals Of the league, and their achieve
ment of scoring 19 to 0 in sixteen deals,
against such a team as Brooklyn, es-
tablishes a new record. Brooklyn after
Deal 38 seems to have been completely
played to a standstill.
The official recorder the match gives
the following information:
The teams were:

Morton's candidacy is hopeless? And why should
the voters OF this State rally to The Trbune's

THE PETER GOELET FARM.

Sir: thought you would be interested In some
items In regard 10 the Peter Goelet ancestral farm
by purchase. The plot OF ground on which this
house stands was part Of the estate OF Cornelius
Tiebout Williams. and part Of the estate was
known as the Roxbury farm. The estate extended
from the south side OF Twentieth-st. and Broad
way to the norih SIDE OF Fourteenth-st.. and from
Broadway and the Old Spinger estate on the west
to Irving Place and Th.rd-avo. on the east
IN 1891 Mr. Goelet purchased the house. ground
ana stable for about $1,000 from Mrs. Jula T.
The Impression that Mr.. Goelet built the house IS
erroneous. Mr.. Goelet never altered the house ex-
cept.ng that he had the orig nal peaked copper
roos removed ard the present fiat roof put In its
place. The builder who made the alterations IS
said 10 have made enough profit out OF the old
