Spade casino should be scored on a cribbago
board. and the players should peg every point as
soon as IL Ia made, otherwise IL Is impossible to keep
the run Of the game. IL must be remembered that
two holes should DO peRGedN for the spade jack or
deuce, because the first Is not only a spade, but
stands for the spade point. and tho second is both =
spade and little casino.
Conquian.-J. 7. says: A had on the table two runs
of four and held two cards In hand. b held one card
and had nine down. when there were only two LETT
that B wanted. and as B held one end i~a a seTncncc,
he forced 4, asking for a discard A bets 3 cannot
do this. as 1t is not his turn to discard or force. Is
says he can force at any time.
Ais right. Each player must hold ten cards. and
II B were allowed to force his adversary without
having nrst used some card himself, he would have
only nine cards in his hand. which would be foul.
Euchre.;-R. D. says; Tho dealer gives three cards

on the second round; , says this Is q misdeai. A
that he gives them out .wo and three at a time.
The same number Of cards must be given TO each
player, including the dealer, in each round. or il is .
misdeal.
J. +. says: In a game Of railroad euchre all pass,
and the dealer announces a lone hand, His right
hand adversary announces to play alone against him
and, euohros him.. He wants to count four for the
euchre. but A insists that it is worth two only.
When n lone hand euchres a lone hand II is worth
four. If It were not. what would be the object of
playing alone against a lone hand, since any euchre
10 worth two?
W. H. L. saws: In n four.handod partnership game.

If the advorsaries permit the change the deal
passes to the left from AS new seat, as II the new
position had been the original one.
E. T. saws: In a progressive game there were
four ties. for first prize, each having 20 points; the
With 20 each cut. and the highest. took first prize.
Then the threc with ls cut, and the highest of those
cnt of the nrst four should have taken the second
prize and that those with 1S only were not in 1t az all.
B is right as to the four with 20 points each being
the only ones to cut for both first and second prizes.
but in euchre the lowest cut wins. not the highest.
Prize distribution. g. W. T. asks for the usual
aitiions; There e" are twelve entries. each putting up
500, 1t being understood that each is u have some
share Of the pool. according TO his standing at the
end of the tournament.
The usual method is to write down the names in
the order of their rank at the end. numbering them:
then to reminder them, beginning with the lowest
as No. /. and give each man the number of points
found opposite his name, In this case the winner
would have II. second man II. fifth man g, and
30 on. There being about $24o in the pool, each man
would get So q point, and the first man could take
the extra six as a bonus.
Poker-F. II. asks IL there is any penalty for e1-
posing a card during the betting.
No. because it is impossible TO determine who Is
injured by the exposure and to what extent.
