Eighteen points. The hand belongs to the class
known AZ thrce-card nfteens. It takes three cards to
make one nftoen; two skies and q trey As these two
AXES can be conf ined with each of the treys. We get
three hfteenp. Then We can combine the three treys
with each of the skies and get two more, In addition
to which We have q pair-royal Of troys and . pair of
skies.

Sequences formed In play must always be single.
although the cards forming them need not fall In
their regular order. Pair royals and double-pair
royals arc the only combinations that can be doubled
up In play as we'll az In hand or crib. The proper
pegging for tho foregoing play would be: A takes 8
holes for the run OF three: B takes 2 holes for the
pair Of deuces. and A o holes for the pair royal. B

badly in pairing the deuce. He should have made a

AsT
Cutting.-J. Z. asks. 10 the ace high or low in cut
ting eardsf
That depends entirely upon the game in oonneo-
ton with which the cards are out. II the cut is not
made in connection with any game. the cards must
be taken to rank In their natural order, the king be-
ing tho highest and the 400 the lowest.
..piee.--I. s. n. says: Three persons are throwing
dice. A throws frst AMI gets q six. B takes the boz
and says to {, who hHI not yet thrown. viii BET

Neither. It is always assumed that when one
player makes q betting proposition the other takes
the contrary view. b offers to bet that he will beat
G. II G takes the bet It 10 assumed that he IL betting
that. he will boat b. If two men bet and run . foot
race and IL ia q dead heat, neither wins.
Euchre.-F. f. T. objects 30 tho decision that .

II they were bucket shop futures"
When the dealers side turns down the trump At
euchre. It is assumed that they are weak in that color,
and certainly have not the bowers. Such being tho
case. It is manifestly 10 the advantage of the eldest
hand to keep the same color. aud so he makes IL
next" on principle. unless he is sure of the point
in the opposite color without any assistance from his
partner.
III. G. says: In q game OF auction euchro. four

In a partnership game 1t does; but It Is customary
TO allow q bid of ten. which means that the bidder
will take all Ave tricka on q lone hand. to supersede

partners assistance.
v. A. F. asks II . player who ia unable 70 follow
suit must play a trump II he has one.
There is no obligation either to head or win o trick
in euohre.
J. A. n. says: Ina four-handed partnership game
the fourth hand ordered 1t up. After the dealer had
RsSsi /, i risht tR' dealer CLAIMED That ne was TOO late
The dealer is right. Law 81 in Fosters Hoyle,
which is the latest authority on the game. says:
ANY player. other than the dealer. intending to
play alone, must use the ex preston alone in con-
nection with his ordering up or making the trump;
ass Il order it, alone;' or, I make It hearts. alone
Ecarts.-J. Z. 8. asksi II the eldest hand fnds that
he has been given six cards. what Is hs remedye
II he has not seen his cards, he has the choice to
discard the superduous card or to claim a misdeal. II
he has seen his cards, he may discard TO correct the
error. or he may claim . misdeal; but II he discards
he must show the card to the dealer, because he has
seen II himself.

The value of this ha I'd is 400. of which 40 10 for

Certainly. The four aces are in a different class
from TIE sequence and the same cards may be used
In both melds.

Neither. The game must be continued to 1880

You can claim out at any time. and IL your claim is
