considerable speculation. This lat

the leaders. afterwards the winners,
were playing strictly by Foster, iiness-
ing deeply third in hand, trumping
at unexpected times aud otherwise
using iconoclastic methods to gain
tricks. Surprising it is, but these
| Innovations met with success and
| Mr.. and Mrs. BulIitt won the cham
rion,hip by the score Of IS to -
losing in reality but one game OF the
series.
The ladies', having wen the all
corners championship last year, were
expected to choose gentleman part
ners This they did, incidentally
giving many illustrations of mildneSs

terruption. "NNhy did you DO that?''
had a ring of selirestrain about it,
The game is both entertaining and
instructive. Patience is virtue,
self confidence high moral quality,
and who ever leaves a whist game
without having the one tried and the
other strengthened.
How many times too has the quiet
abstraction Of dinner parties been
relieved by a reference to an under
play or a major tenace.
1t is game however for winter
AM we shall he glad to give it over
for the out Of door sports for which
Big Stone Gap is famous.
The club will present MIR. and Mrs
Bulitt with silver tray, time, place
and score being engraved, as a
souvenir of their success.
