HOWELL ON WHIST.
trump Attacks, with illustrations of GuC-
cess and Failure.

The trump lead without numerical
strength, but with all round strength or
protection in the plain suits seams to be
the most elemental form of the trump at
tack. As Q from the hand spades
(trump), @, J; hearts, K, 2, s, @; clubs,
K, Q, J; diamonds, A, @, 5, g. It's object
Is to help the hand all round, to protect
and conserve the plain suit strength in all
suits, to bring about the safest possible
development. 1t is in general much less
speculative than the original trump lead
from numerical strength. If a hand con
tanning great trump strength five or
more), but no winning cards in plain suits,
is opened with the trump attack, the OBJ
ject is to protect whatever strength part
ner may have but the assumption thSt
partner has any strength at all is essen
TALLY speculative. Or, if the hand con-
tains one very good plain suit, ike A, *,
J, with means of re-cntry in the other
plain suits, as an ace or q king and queen
together, and with moderate trump
strength, say four to an honor the trump
attack is advisable as 4 general practice,
but in any particular case it is q specu1a-
ton.
After the trump gambit with all round
plain suit strength, one seldom fails to &C
compliEh at least part of his purpose, but
after the trump attack from-strength one
is frequently forced to change his tactics
and to beat a hasty retreat, not usually
with loss to be sure, but certainly with
acknowledgment that the original plan
was not the best II, for instance, 1 open
the trump from hearts (trunp), K, 10, 4,
2; clubs, A, Z, J, g. 8; diamonds, A, 9;
spades, 8, 5, and the adversary, winning
the first trick cheaply, starts great spade
suit and forces me on the third round,
must abandon the attempt to exhaust
trumps and adopt the policy of making
what club tricks I can ct once by the
running game, as it is commonly call
ed. 1t is the very danger of being forced
and having one's trump holding ruined
that one must face in instituting the
trump attack from hand like that just
given. Nevertheless, for the sake of the
main chance, believe the danger must be
faced. The hand is worth probably four
tricks anyway, and, if the trump attack
succeeds, perhaps twice rs much. Even If
this sort of trump attack is not completely
successful it does in nearly all cases i'm
prove the leaders, chances by exkausting
the trumps of the weaker adversary.
In practice recently 1 held hearts

According to the Globe decency and
respectability seem to be q matter of
degree in Atchison. 1t is decent and
respectable to have joints but not to
have gambling houses. It is hard to
discern how this conclusion can be
drawn Neither are respectable or de-

to humanity than gambling houses be-
cause they are frequented by greater
number of people.
