WHIST NEWS.
Challenge Trophy Changing Hands
Very Quickly in the West.

Little news of the matches for the A. w.
L. challenge trophy has come out of the
west since the Baltimore four surrendered
the valued prize to their western brethren.
The first match was played by fours repre-
senting the Minneapolis and st. Paul clubs,
the latter winning by 10 to II, the trick
score being 309 to 302.
The second match found the st. Paul and
Racine teams contesting, the former again
proving victors by the score of % to II.
On Washington birthday the third match
was played, the ST. Paul and Aurora teams
being the contestants. A great surprise
was in store for the strong St. Paul four.
On the first eight deals Aurora gained three.
on the second eight lost one, ON the third
eight gained five, being seven tricks ahead
at the end of the first half. On the first
eight deals in the evening each team gained
three tricks; then st. Paul made a wonder
full brace, winning six tricks, and was only
one trick behind with eight deals to be
played. On these last boards the Aurora
gained two and lost one, winning the match
by Il single trick, the score being Aurora,
10; st. Paul, IS; with a trick score of 3o1
to 300 Aurora gained eleven singles and
four doubles; st. Paul gained sixteen sin
giles and one double. A match without
change exceeding two tricks is rather un-
usual.
The fourth match for the challenge trophy
was played Saturday, February -, between
the Aurora and Chicago Whist Club teams.
The latter took the lead at the start, was
never headed, and won by the remarka Die
score of 315 to 2SS, gain of 81 tricks.
Many will ask how Aurora managed to win
from the strong St Paul team, but then it
should he remembered that the Chicago
four-keehn. Bronson, Wilson and Wood
comprise one of the strongest quartets in
the country.
The Chicago duplicate four should have
played the Chicago Whist Club four last
Saturday night hut as vet no returns have
been received. The Milwaukee Club four
will journey to Chicago next Saturday for
a match, and the next challengerS in rota-
ton are teams representing the Oaks of
Austin the Ravenswood and the Minne-
apolis.

To Report on Conditions and Recon-

The arrival of the Philippine commission
appointed by the President at Manila has
aroused renewed interest in the special du-
ties of that body. Press advices show that
the commissioners have been already in
conference with Admire al Dewey and Gen
Otis with regard to the prosecution of the
work intrusted to them The latest dis

member of the board investigating the con-
dust of the War Department, and was un-
able to accompany the other members of
the commission from the United States He
took his departure about two weeks later,
and will probably not reach Manila for
week or ten days yet.
The instructions upon which the commits
sion will act for the settlement of the
troublesome political questions in the Phil
ippines are embodied in the following let
ter from the President to the Secretary of
State in regard to the powers and duties
