whist According to Hoyle.'

How many players are there and how many
that play at the game of whist that have the
slightest copce ption OF what is meant by
"whist according TO Hoyle"? We have often
made the statement in these columns that
what is called modern scientific whist as
played by the experts of the present day is
practically the same that was played by the
experts $50 odd years ago, Edmond Hoyle
might properly be called the father OF the
game; he was certainly the greatest whist
authority of his time and was the first to
make scientific study of the subject Hoyle
was born in 1872, ana for about ten years of
..liie-from 1875 to 1745-he taught whist as q
profession and charged guinea lesson. In
November, 1742. Hoyle issued his first book
on the game; II was called ''Short Treatise"
Inside of one year FIVE editions were published
and sold. Hoyle died in Welbank street,
Cavendisn square, London, August 27, 1859,
aged 81. At the time of his death the seven
teenth edition was in the printers hands
From his first edition we quote the following:
HoYLEs GENERAL RULES FOR BEGINNERS.
We ask our readers to carefully observe the
following leads and note how few there are
that differ from the leads OF 1897. Hoyle
starts out by saying: When you lead, begin
with the best suit In your hand. With king.
queen, knave, four in suit, lead king; with i've
in suit, lead knaye.
With queen, knave, 10, four In suit, lead

With king, queen, 10 and three small
trumps, begin with the king.

with a small one.
With ace, king and two small trumps, begin
with small one.
With king, queen and two small trumps, be-
gin with a small one, without going into too
many of the plain suit holdings. This is sufi-

Many of the pitfalls that whist-players fall

bv Hovle and none of them were SO dangerous
as leading trumps from four without the
proper strength. The deal given below Is
taken from the first edition OF his work. Many
of our readers will no doubt recognize 1t.
This same deal occurred in actual play"
about once year. 1t is like the 'sea SER

Answers to Queries.

We have been asked quite number of times
what system OF play we would recommend for
team work. We will say we intend shortly to
give the systems of play that are adopted in
several of the lie aiding clubs in the Eastern
States. We hope that the committee that was
appointed at the last congress will have a
report to make at Putin Bay. II they do not,
it Will certainly be misfortune. Let US hope
that the league will have backbone enough to
say we believe this or that system is the best.

A "Flute Hand"

While we were up at Sacramento, week or
two ago, 10 attend the opening meeting OF the
youngest and largest whist club on the Pacific
Coast. we listened to a very intereEting talk
from Frank Miller, one of the whist enthusi-
asts of the capital city. Mr.. Miller was very
entertaining, and gave q description of several
innovations in the game that "Cavendish"
never dreamed OF, and even Hamilton omitted
in his second edition of "Modern Scientific
Whist After giving his hearers descrip-
tion of several kinds Of hands, such as slam,
Marlborough, Pat piano, full, fushes and
hands without a trump, and hands with 8
"spot" high, ETC., all of which we knew
little some hing about he stated the prettlest
if not the most peculiar hand he ever held
at a whist table-was what President Mott
called "fute hand" This was corker, or
coup" so to speak.

again leads trumps. West covers whatever

brings in all his remaining spades, making q

tcred.
KEY WEST, Fla, Jan. 1O.-A report
from points near Matanzas confirms
the news received of defeat suffered
by the Spanish at the hands of one OF
Gomez captains on Tuesday. From
the details ut hand it appears that the
Spaniards had an idea that another ex.
pedition was to be landed west OF
there on the coast. Two detachmenta
were sent off to ambuscade the escort
that they thought the Cubans would
send. This the CubanS heard of, and
SO they proposed a counter-ambuscade
on their side. Four hundred Cubans
were stationed on the road that the
Spaniards would take, well concealed
in the bushes. Strong barbed wire was
stretched across the road knee high.
After the Spaniards had passed GER.
tain point more barbed wire was
stretched across the road to impede
their retreat. As the columns came up
the Cubans began a rapid fire, while
men stationed in some high trees over
hanging the cut through which the
troops were passing hurled hand
grenades among them.
The slaughter was frightful for a
few moments, over 30 Spanish soldiers
and officers being disabled. They
rallied as bravely as they could, and
returned the fire, but, being under
such a disadvantage and surprised,
they could do little, their enemy being
almost invisible, while the rapid fire
Remington dealt death and destruc-
tion among the crowded columns of
the Spanish troops. The latter finally
retreated, orderly at first, the Cubans
pursuing them along the roads and
firing all the while. When the second
wires in their rear were struck a panic
ensued, the soldiers forgetting all
discipline and running for their lives,
and throwing away guns and equip
ments. The Cubans pursued them for
several miles. Over forty-tive Spaniards
were buried by the Cubans and 100
taken prisoners. The latter, save five
who were native-born Cubans, acting
as guides, were liberated. The
renegades, as the guides were called,
had short trial and speedier death,
being cut down with machetes. The
Spanish report has not been made
pu bile vet.
