WHIST.

In laying down n general theory for re-
turned leads Cavendish writes as follows:
"Hoyle says not a word about returned leads
and as the subject is Of the greatest i'm
portance, 1t may be assumed that in his day
there was no general rule. Payne Is the
first to give any instruction on this point,
and he dismisses it in three lines, In re-
turning your partners lead play the best
you have when you hold but three origin
ally He does not say what you are to do
with more than three, and from his curt
way Of putting the matter, 1t may be in
ferred no serious value was attached to the
proposition. Matthews merely says, With
three return the highest; with four the low
est OF your partners lead
THE theory of returned leads remained
in a most unsatisfactory condition until well
past the middle of this century. 'Caelebs. >
published in 1858, has the following, With
less than four originally Of partners ag-
gressive lead, there is rarely any profit in
finessing; in any event the next highest

plain English, this appears to mean. having
three of partners suit do not fness, and,

as 20 returned leads. Clay's remarks
(Short Whist, 1860 deserve examination.
He gives the rule, return highest of three,
lowest of four and notes the exception in
the case of holding the winning card, when
1t is TO be returned irrespective of number.
He then proceeds, The foregoing is, OF all
similar rules, the most important for the
observance of whist players He next gives
the theory and explains how careful atten-

up TO this period writer's on whist either

list OF contingencies in which exceptions
should be observed.

WITH HORSES AND HORSEMEN
Star Pointers Great Fent at Columbus
Excites Expectations Of Greater
Fcats Later.

The unquestionable event of interest in
the light harness world so far is the feat
Star Pointer performed at Columbus a week
ago in again passing the two-minute mark.
1t is the second line that this-a sup
posedly impossibly feat only a few years
ago-has been accomplished. 1t is but
natural, therefore, that horsemen through
out the turf world should look at the per-
formance as the most noteworthy of the
year and set themselves to wondering if it
is not within the range of possibility that a
still lower mark will be reached by the
great PAGER before the year Is out.
For the remarkable feature of Star
Pointers performance is the fact that 1t
was made so early in the season, bearing
in mind that the harness racing season does
not really until in July. If he
can do so much before the season is half
over 1t looks more than probable that he
will succeed in making a lower mark before
the year closes and horsemen are predicting
that he will pace in 1:5S before the end of
the season. His remarkable performance
last year, when he skated under the two
minute mark, was accomplished on August
2S. Even that was early, according to the
way records have gone. For example, Alix
made the worlds trotting record Of 2:O3&
on September 10, 1894; John r. Gentry's
2;0O1a was made on September "a, 1896;
Robert Us 2:O11a was made on September
IA, 1894.
James A.. Murphy, owner of Star Pointer,
declares his animal is in better condition
than he ever was. He says: 'Star Pointer
Is better than ever before. In the first place
he is going faster than ever. He has gone
but six times thus far and they have been
six faster miles than any first six miles
ever paced before by a horse. Then, in ad-
dition to being apparently physically per-
feet, he seems to be rid Of some faults he
had last year. He no longer brushes him
self as he did last year, and, although he
still wears boots, he has not so far as we
have seen touched his knees together this
season. Then, too, his tooth trouble hay
Ing been cured, he no longer pulls and tears
at the reins as he did last year, when he
had an liberated tooth, This was a serious
fault, but he now moves along as smoothly
as any one could wish"
