Comments.
Trick T. This is the play that gains
four tricks on the hand. w. knows
the Importance of winning the third
round of trumps when leading from
four for the defense of an established
suit, and also OF getting it out imme-
diately. He also believes in the prin
ciple of never leaving anything to
partner that he can do just as well
himself AS in the original play, w.
knows the 9 will hold the trick and
that the @. will be caught if E. can
come through with another trump.
But w. is not playing catch the
honor"-he is playing common sense
Withstand is not going to take any
chances, for he has no re-entry and
if forced, as he certainly will be if
either adversary obtains the lead, his
hand is dead He therefore overtakes
his partners trick, wins the third, an
all important round of trumps, forces
the @. with his established suit and
re-enters with the long trump.
Trick 9. w. knows his partner can
win this trick also, but as he would
only be throwing away winning card
to pass it, and as Els diamonds can
be no better than his spades, he trumps
it in conformity with the principle re-
ferred to above.

Trick 1. If the 9 is WIS fourth best
as it appears to be, his suit is estab
lished, and E. is strong in both of the
other plain suits. being able to stop
either of them, he leads supporting
trump, for S. will surely ruff the
spades next round.
Trick g. e. goes right up with the
Ace second hand, having five. so that
he may give his partner another sup
porting trump.
Trick T. From fall of cards on the
first round of trumps the @. must be
with S., and as he does not cover w.
knows the will hold the trick and
the @. can be caught if E. has an
other trump.
Trick 5. E. must now open the dia-
mond suit, hoping his partner may be
able to get in and continue the trumps.
Trick Z. w. cannot pass. as N. will
get in with a small trump and imme-
diately force W. with the clubs.

AS the Duchess OF Westminster
West will enjoy an immense income
With his new title his Grace the young
Duke came into possession of miles Of
land in every section of London and
large number of houses situated re-
spectively in Grosvenor Place, Bel
grave Square and Ebury street, all of
which are situated in the heart of Lon
don's fashionable quarter. And be-
sides there are extensive properties in
Cheshire, Bershire and Flint, Scotland.
The beautiful estate of Cliveden-on-
the Thames was also the property OF
the late Duke of West Minister before
Its purchase by Mr.. William Waldorf
Astor for fabulous sum.
The young Duke of Westminster has
not reached his majority and will not
be twenty-one years old for some
months to come. After his marriage he
will return to Africa, but not to his
former position as aide-de-camp to the
British High Commissioner, Sir AL
fred Miller. He will be an officer in
the imperial Yoemanry, which Is form
ed of dukes, earles, barons, lords and
England's sons of bluest blood. 1t is
a very aristocratic regiment and will
be supported by the Highland Yoe-
many, which is formed of old war;
riors who have seen many years of ac-
tive service. The Imperial Yoemanry
is known as the Rough Rider regi-
ment of Great Britain, because of its
similarly to the Rough Riders of the
Spanish War
The Duke will only remain week
with his bride after the wedding, then
he will bid farewell to her, for events
in Africa are demanding the attention
of Englands young blood, and it was
never Westminster who failed to
answer the call of his country and his
Queen.

Children are always delighted with
bright, pretty colored eggs for Easter.
A variety of fancy eggs can be made
from one package of dye. Purchase
one package containing four colors,
red, blue, yellow and violet being
pleasing colors. The day before the
coloring Is to be done. dissolve each
color separately and put into bottles
The next day select perfectly fresh
eggs and wash them clean. If obtain
liable, use some very small eggs. Put
a few of the eggs into kettle of cold
water and let them boil ten or fifteen
minutes; long boiling renders eggs
more digestible. Only few should be
cooked at time, as they must be dip
ped into the dye while hot so as to
dry the coloring Immediately or they
will not be nice Pour the dyes into an
old bowl or some deep dish. To pro-
duce variety of colors from the four
kinds of dyes proceed thus: Dip one
half inch strip of paper around a
white shelled egg; dip one end of the
egg as far as the paper extends into
the red dye and then the other end
into the blue dye; when the paper is
removed you will have a pretty red
white and blue egg. You can produce
fuyA @0 Oh
shades from one color. For instance,
dip an egg into the yellow dye to pro-
duce light orange; add little water
TO the dye to produce lemon, and pro-
coed in the same way with other col
ors. Roll the eggs over in the dye two
or three times, until they are evenly
colored.

Value of Trump Strategy.
To the Editor of the Register.
Will you kindly publish the enclosed
comments and play on deal at du-
plicate whist? The principal purpose
is to illustrate and impress upon the
player the value of trump strategy
and, mean by that, proper manage
ment of trumps.
Wheeling and vicinity boasts Of
many good wNsters, and in order to
ascertain how some of them would
play the hands of East and West
transposed the heart anG spade suits
so as to accommodate the trump suit,
(spades) which is general hereabouts.
Some seven or eight tests were made
and not in one instance did the local
players handle their cards as in the
illustrated play. In all instances the
ace of hearts was led instead OF the
ace of trumps, at others by the two
spot, the latter of course being the
better play. In asking for the publ
cation of the piece it is not for the
purpose of rejecting upon the local
play, but to show the vast number of
exceptions there are to the book rules,
and how important 1t is to delve earn
estly into the possibilities of hand
before making an original lead, espec-
tally IL it be from an odd or freak"
hand. However, the main purposes of
the deal is to teach the value of proper
trump management. The matter is
taken from the March number of
Whist"
Wheeling, March Both. B.
"The management of the trump suit
is probably the most important point
in whist tactics, and the disposition of
modern players to ignore some of the
sound principles that have been hand
ed down from the early masters is
probably responsible for the loss Of as
many tricks at the whist table as any
other one item.
The advantage gained by following
the strategy recommended by Mat
thews in his advice to the Young
Whist Player" which was published
nearly a hundred years ago, cannot
be too strongly impressed upon the
student of to-day, and in the deal here
submitted this principle is involved in
connection with a position that re-
quires keener reasoning to determine
its proper application than is generally
met with.
The principle of winning the third
round of trumps Is no doubt we'll
known, but many whist players either
fail to appreciate its Importance or
neglect to take advantage of it when
the opportunity to do so presents it.
self. The substance of this strategy
as presented in Maxims 70, 103 and
104, Is, that in leading trumps from
four, for the purpose of bringing in an
established suit, the player should re-
| fuse to win the second round unless
| he is able to win the third round also.
| Matthews says, Nothing then but
five trumps in one hand, can probably
| prevent his establishing his long suit,
for he forces out the best trump, and
the thirteenth brings in his suit again,
| which without the lead after the third
round of trumps) would be impos-
| sible.'
