REMARKABLE WHIST HANDS.
Stories Recalled by the Marlborough Of the
Recent Match.

One OF the most remarkable hands in
the long annals of the "royal game"
was held at the recent whist congress
described I'm recent issue of The Sun.
The hand contained no trumps and no
card higher than nine, but still took
three tricks. IL has been figured that
the ODDS against holding such a hand
and taxing three tricks are 6,2Si, O0o, ,0Oo,
600 to /, so that the players who partici-
pated IN this game might continue stead
lily at whist until they were several times
as old as Methusaleh without having the
hand recur.
Tne hand was what is technically
known as Marlborough, but 1t was not
an ordinary Marlborough, either, for that
name Is applied to any hand that con-
tsias no card higher than nine. The
chances OF holding Marlborough is a
trihe less than 1 In 1900, and the ODDS
against holding Yerborough without
trumps are lii. coo to 1. The Marlborough
hand preserves the fame Of a certain
wnist-playing English lord, who was
once a familiar figure in tho card rooms
OF the London clubs, but who might by
this time have been forgotten but for
this one hobby which has connected his
name with a certain com binatIon OF cards
and from whicn he 10 reputed to have
obtained substantial returns during his
lifetime.
Proctor says that Lord Ysrborougn's
name was given 10 any hand that held
nothing higher than nine, because
that gentleman had a standing offer to
bet fiOoU TO fi that such a hand would
not be dealt. Proctor goes through a
calculation to show that this was n per-
fectly safe bet. a. the odds against such
hand are i.s27 10 ]. II is said that / ord
Marlborough laid his wager many thou

For m National Rife Association,

Commenting on the recent meeting Of
the National Rife association of Great
Britain and the 10000 entries for the
Queens prize, Shooting and Fishing says:
"Why Is America so much behind tho
times In having no national rifle associa-
tionp We have no Bisley; no annual COM
petition. Every American who hos pride
IN the efficiency Of tho reserve military of
this country ought to blush when he reads
of the interest i'm military rifle shooting in
England and compares 10 with the indiffer-
ence here 1t Is true we have many fine
IN military shots. Some states have excellent
systems Of rifle practice, but In reality we
have no national rifle organization. We
need one greatly.
There should be continuation Of rifle
practice In the cities and towns of this
country. There should also be the state
meetings, and from the best marksmcn Of
each state there should be selected teams
10 meet In an annual national competition.
Then n national interest would bo created
ia the organization, and n victory would
mean rs much as IL docs now nc Bisley.
Great things might bc accomplished by
establishing a national association In this
country. lt would stimulate military
craftsmanship. it would strengthen tho
power of our volunteers, II would create u
class Of cxrcrts in different parts Of the
country, and by these experts we could
learn positively tho true merits Of our ma
tional arm far better than in any other
way"

A Ring With "a History.

There is little shop in Boston, under
the Museum known as Remicks. Many
prominent people havo visited 10 and con-
suited the owner regarding rare and Gu
rious gems. The late Henry Ward Beccher
seldom visited Boston without stopping
at the little shop. His passion for gems
was well known, and one day he purchased
rare aquamarine ring, which hatyorc for
awhile. On Ellen Terry's first visit to
this country, she lunchcd with Mr. and
Mrs. Beecher When she saw the ring,
Miss Terry seemed SO greatly to admire 1t
that Mr.. Beecher handed the jewel to her
to examine She became very enthusiastic
and kissed the ring several times
why do you do that" inquired Mr..
Beechar.
"Simply because love these gems so, "
was the reply
We'll, II you care so much for the ring
as that" said Mr.. Beecher, please keep
1T and wear 1t for my sake"
When Miss Terry visited Mr.. Remick
last spring he inquired as to the where
about of the ring
II wore IL for years" she answered.
after Mr.. Beocher's death became more
attached To it than ever But on the day
that Queen Victoria knighted Henry Irv-
ing took the ring from my finger and
gave it 20 him in honor Of the OCCASION

ity rather than as a result Of the honored
name he bears.
About six years ago the younger man

good impression. The young men were

university. A writer seeing his perform
apce of Julius Caesar" said at the time
that no would some day make his mark.
Mr.. Irving had entered Oxford with the
intention OF studying for the bar, but
abandoned that purpose and adopted his
fathers profession. The debut of Mr.. Irv-
ing was made at the Garrick theater, Lon

Men" and was leading man in Ben Greet e
company. Some Of the roles in which he
has appeared are Hamlet, Romeo, Young

The recent marriage q Mr. Irving to
Miss Dorothea Baird has attracted atten-
tion. Miss Baird made n great reputation

A Little Boy Kiiled BY the Cars.

The little S-year-old boy of Mr.. Dan
Dafron, car inspector at Umatilla, was
run over by the cars about o'clock last
evening at Umatilla and was killed.
The accident could not have been avert
ed, for no one knew of it until some of
the trainmen came upon the poor little
fellows bleeding body. His leg had been
cut off diagonally following its conjunc-
ton with the body. He was alive when
found, and lived for about six hours.
1t is thought he had fallen from a box
car when in motion, as he was in the
habit of playing around moving cars in
the yard.
Mr.. Daffron was at one time car in
spector in The Dalles, and is well-known
among railroad men here. Mr.. James
Brennan of this city is his son-in-law.
