out of three games-the winner of the

cording to the score at the end, when the

game are also counted. These consist OF
"honors" "chiCane" and grand and little

trumps and the ten spot, and count by
the side having the majority being cred

For instance. if hearts are trumps, the
credit is sixteen-four hOnors count for
times the value of a trick. "Chicane' IS
where the trumps are held by one Of the
players. This at the final reckoning costs
the opponent pair the value of half the
honors held by them for that hand. Grand
salm is when all tricks are taken by ore
side; this counts forty. And little salIn
is when all tricks are taken except one,
twenty being the advantage in count.

making a dummy is a feature of bridge
whist and constitutes the radical differ

it will be easily seen by experienced whist
players that the cards being laid face up

adjustment of the unwritten laws that
