The teaching Of whist Is a noble and honor
able profession, but the teacher should be
qualified; the whist public should not be i'm
posed upon. And no doubt the American
Whist League, at the next congress in Putin
Bay, will be asked to take up this question and
see what can be done.
Whist Permutations.
In the current number of Whist is a very in
teresting letter from one of the leading lights
of the bar of San Francisco on "Permutational
Investig ations of Whist Questions" This
paper cannot help but attract the attention
of whist students. The whist masters are
asked this question, "Why are there so many
disputed points in our beloved game that are
apparently determinable ?" And the writer
also tells the best method OF determining, and
he ends this very instructive letter by saying:
"When longsuitism and shortsuitism cease
to DO religious and come to be regarded
merely as modes Of getting the most tricks
out of the most hands 1t will not be irrev-
erent and sacrilegioue to suggest to the COM
mfttee on system of play that it 'permute' q
few hundred deals before recommending any
system whatever and that they try the system
advocated by the recognized advocates OF
shortsuitism.'
A Beautiful Problem-TrY II.
The following double dummy problem ia
taken from Whist for March. The editor

The clerk was clearly right i'll refusing to
file the inventory before his fees were paid.
(see act of March %, 1895. Statutes of 1895,
page 21O)
The case was argued at great length by
Attorney F. Adams on behalf of County
Clerk Curry. and Mr.. Jennings appeared
on his own behalf. The conclusion of the
Court was that the petition sought TO
have the County Clerk assume certain
duties that by law are incumbent on the
executors and the court. Therefore the
petition is dismissed.

CUNEO WANTS DAMAGES.

Destroyed
Joseph Cuneo presented demand to
the Judi ciary Committee OF the Board Of
Supervisors on Friday for $500 for the
destruction on the order of the Board OF
Health of two buildings at 710 and 712
Stockton street belonging to him.
His attorney claimed that the notice
served tha: the buildings were unsanitary
and unfit for human babitation was de.
fective and that the City was liable for the
damages.
The committee refused to entertain the
demand on the ground that the City is
not responsible for any damages done in
the performance of legal act and that it
is not responsible for any illegal act of a
City official.
The attorney stated that this action of
the com mittee was expected and that the
demand had only been made as prelim.
mary to taking the matter into court.

A Difference of Eight Tricks.
In regular game at the Chicago Whist
Club few Saturdays ago, while we were doing
the compass-whist act-playing South, with
John T. Mitchell North-the following deal
came in play: The North and South scores
ran all the way from four to twelve tricks. At
the table where only four was made one trick
was lost by carelessness in discarding the ace
of diamonds. There Is q legitimate variation

club members. During the recess series of
games between the Trist Duplicate and Oak

but games for inference and analytical work
under the supervision of both presidents.
Such an idea as this If properly carried out,
would do more good and make better whist
players than anything that could be done in
the way of club matches.

man OF the committee on laws, and he asks
all the whist-players on the coast that read
this letter to express their opinion on the
subject:
To the Errrutiue Committee of the american Whist
beg leave to suggest to
the executive committee that 1t would, In my
opinion, be for the advantage and interest of the
duplicate match games In tournaments and con-
tests for trophies, and indeed for all duplicate
whist games, that rule be established forbldding
the turning Of o trump in the pack In play, and
requiring the umpire or parties to cut . trump
suit for the session In another pack.
The object of having q trump turned in game
Of short whist Is reasonably clear. to wit: It In
creases the chances and variety Of the game, but
believe it would be hard to assign any good res-
son for 1t In gams Of duplicate. II 1t gives any
advan age to side the other 1t is contrary TO
the theory Of the duplicate game, which is OF per
feet equality Of conditions; II 1t does not give any
such advantage, is there any reason for retaining
1t? he true theory Of duplicate whist 10 that each
side at beginning has no knowledge OF the re.
sources strength Of the other side.
1he turning Of . trump card il in violation Of
are in turn imposed on the other side, two wrongs
turned adds greatly the labor, trouble and Diff
Guilty Of keeping the score. If the tnmp turned
is so small AFFECT the play in no degree, 1t is
run OF it: II sufficiently high to affect the play, 1t
is contrary to the true principles Of the game.
therefore respectfully ask the committee to
consider the expedtency Of my suggestion. Very
truly yours, FISHER AAEA

Whist at Tacoma.

The fourth annual convention of the North
Pacific Whist Association will meet at Tacoma
April /, 2 and g. We have been invited to act
as referee. We have only been home q few
hours from q seven weeks trip among the
minister's of the East, North and South and re-
gret very much to be obliged to send our re-
grets The writer was the one that first
suggested the forming Of whist associations in
conjunction with the American Whist League.
This was in Philadeiphia in May, 1894, and
the North Pacific Whist Association was the
t1rst to be organized. 1t was founded 1t Ia
coma, october 10, 1894, and Arthur Reming-
ton. with a few other whist enthusiasts of
Tacoma, was the originator. We wish their
fourth meeting every success.

Players.

It is strange but nevertheless true that
there are more nasty little jealousies among
whistplayers than in any other amusement
known to the human family. We love and
indulge in all kinds OF sports such as the
"Dog and Gun," the "Rod and Reel" zach t.
ing, courslng. In fact every ything that is
manly, and we have q warm spot in our
heart for every one whom we meet In
these sports, but we never heard of an in
stance outside of whist where people are
actually jealous of one another. In many of
our whist clubs you will often hear the mean
est kind Of remarks made, not only at the
whist table. but away from 1t, about some one
who is 'stuck on their whist play" or "he
thinks he knows 1t all' or "the idea of Mrs.
So-and-so teaching whist" This sort of feel
ing, well nursed as 1t is in some of our whist
clubs, ID like . cancer-it ought to be cut out.

American Whist League Cards.

For several years the American Whist League
has had playing cards made for the exclusive
use OF all the league climbs and ON the back of
each card is the emblem of the league. A new
contract has just been awarded to Andrew
Doughert-, the finest card manufacturer in
the United States. The special designs he has
submitted to the league have been accepted
and in q few weeks all clubs on the Pacific
Coast will be able to get these cards for about
IL cents pack.
Every whist student and player should reed
the new book just out called "Whist Study
Suits" by Miss Elizabe tn H. Gay. Next week
we will give review of the new work.
During our absence several little things have
been overlooked. If your readers will have
patience we will soon catch up.

Whistlets.

We have been asked why 1t would not be .
good idea to have whist cards printed in four
colors-say black, red, green and yellow7
Some twenty-five years ago firm, we think
1t was called the Globe Playing-card Compan y
Of Boston, introduced cards printed in the
colors above mentioned and in addition to
this innovation they were made round instead
OF the present shape. They never came into
very general use, but the idea of different
colors was . good one, and we would like to
see the card committee of the American Whist
League have few gross printed in colors for
trial, at least, among the league clubs.

Beautiful hair gives many a woman

shadow of their former brightness. Such
