prizes. Five PLAY yers have cixht points each, while

seven points cut for second rrl1e. and on down.
THIS case is Ne'y similar to the last given. Tho

Euchre-B. L. l. says: A bets B that there ia NO
sssI, ting III fUurhandCd game unless by previous
agreement
1t Just the other way. The previous agreement
must be that there shall not be assisting because
the rules OF the game sliow assisting but il has
lately become tho custom especially large pro-
gressive games. to make an assisting hand play
alone. The agreement. therefore. that there shall
be no assisting departure from the regular laws
OF the game.

A. L. says: In three or four.handed game 10 the
trump sequence worth $50 or 1902
It is worth 100. because in the three and four
handed games the players are supposed to make as
many combinanons with their cards as tn ~ would
be able to make II the combinations were made
at time in tho two ha nded game and In that game
the trump marriage can be hrst melded for 40 aud
the SO luence added to it for 100 more. making 70
altogether.

The longest sequence in the hand is run of three.
which can be repeated three times by using differ.
ent ACE in each run. These three runs Of three
worth nine holes and the pair royal OF 10 worth
six more. As there is nothing more In the hand to
