The "Biue Peter" in Wh,s,.

There Is n house in London which
should be the Mecca of all whist play
ers who believe in the new school and
the information" game; n shrine before
which they should bow respectfully US
the fountainhead of all that is modern
in the game. This is No. 81 st. James
street, and it is within sight of Marl-
borough House. Its fame rests chiefly
on the fact that it was at one time
known as Graham's Club, and that
within its walls Lord Henry Bentnck
first introduced the 'blue peter" or sig.
nal for trumps, which consists in play
ing Il higher card before a lower when
no attempt Is made to win the trick.
That signal has been to the whist play.
ers Of the world like the pillar of fire
to the children Of Israel. For more
than forty years it has led them up
and down in the wilderness of arbitrary
conventions, but it has never brought
them to the promised land of better
whist.
The blue peter was the introduction
to whist Of Il purely arbitrary signal or
convention, and its seed has spread like
a thistle's. until it has entirely overrun
the old game Of calculation, observa-
ton, position and tenace"; leaving in
its place long suits, American leads,
plain suit echoes, four signals and d.
receive discards. These seem to have
choked up all the dash, brilliancy and
individuality in whist players, re-
ducing them oil to the same level: not
by Increasing the abilities Of the tyro,,
but BY curtailing the skill of the expert
