Wonaan's Whist League, carried of the
honors for Philadelphia playing champion
ship whist throughout the match. The Bal

Next Saturday the c. Bi. c. will visit
baltimore. and in view of the two de-
feats administered to Baltimore the local
Players look like winners. though Baltimore
has several strong players in reserve, and
Will find a player to put up against every
one that Washington will send. 1t is not
known IL there will be eight. twelve or
sixteen on side. There is great rivalry
between these two clubs, their game
DIVORCES as widely as II is possible for
any two systems of whist. Washington
is bold, daring. aggressive. non-informa-
tory; while Baltimore is equally brilliant,
though more conservative, taking no flyers,
hut playing steadily as possible against
the invasion of its strong suits. An enthu-
siastic lot of Westinghouse will go to
Baltimore Saturday, and il the cards break
wei fr them, their ardor is not likely TO
be dampened by the Baltimores. They will
send stronger team. than they did to
Philadelphia. and will put up the game of
their lives.
The match "Wednesday. when the c. Ri. c.
defeated the c. A. c. by eight tricks, did
not discourage the latter. The deciding
game will be played Wednesday night.
Each club has won one match. The c. a
c. were not able TO get into the Atlantic
ratches, as II would jisarrange the
schedule. Tney are keeping UP their prac-
tee, and viii soon be in shape for cham
Iicnship whist.
The members of the Washington Club are
in continual practice, and with laudable
ambition nave determined to apply for
membership to the Atlantic Auxiliary As
sc ciation AS the New Jersey state auxil-
larry has thrown open its doors to women
minister's the Atlantic may allow mixed
pair clubs to join, and no doubt suitab
arrangements will nc made for mixed pair
contests. Mrs. HaNley is resting at Old
Point and will be in evidence at Phladel-
phia. where the responsibility of team
and many Guties appertaining to commit
tee work will tax her strength to the ut
most. the rest of the team are well in
hand, and are not playing in too much hare
whist, for fear Of not being up to the
standard at the end of the month, when
the whist congress convenes
Every arrangement has been made at
Philadelphia for the comfort of visiting
minister's. and the second woman's whist
congress promises to be a great success.
Already Washington is being talked of
enthusiasm of her minister's were taken into
account there would be few dissenting
voices.
Although they do consider 1t the camp
ing ground of the short suffers there are
SO many strong players able to give an
account of themselves outside of the regu-
lar teams shat would be difficult to
cnumerate them at present, but they will
be heard from at the next congress.
New York has challenged the Atlantic
Association, and the match is expected in
the near future. The flower of the different
clubs will be selected to meet them, as
New York is putting up good game of
whist, and President Nef knows the char
actor of players he will be required to
meet and he will not select any raw re-
cruits to face them.
The following hand was one of the hest
hands in the match between Baltimore
ard Philadelphia East played brilliantly:
