WHIST MATCH.
Capital Team Defeated Columbia by
Five Tricks.

One Of the most interesting whist team
matches of a decade came of last night
in the parlors Of the Capital Bicycle Club,
between tours representing the home club
and the Columbia Athletic Club. It was
the first of series Of three matches.
Twenty-four boards were played over and
at the finish the score stood 6 to in favor
Of the Capital Bicycle team.
The first eight boards netted the Capital
team gain of four tricks. On the second
eight the Columbia team picked up its ore
point, and on the last eight boards the Cap
itals gained two more, making net gain
Of FIVE points On the twenty-four boards.
Many interesting hands developed during
the match and the playing throughout was
Of very high order of excellence. Good
Judgment was displayed in finessing at crit
ical points and the Capital players almost
invariably led the fourth best.
The Columbia four tried the down and
cut" convention. to show the best in the
suit, and although this innovation bars out
the trump signal, it proved a trick winner
I'm several instances last night. The contest
started shortly after 8 o'clock, and although
the play was moderately fast, the discus
sion over hands prolonged the games until
after midnight
The Capital Bicycle team comprised such
well-known whlsters as Barrtck. Lowe,
Britton and Carr. while the Columbia Attn
letic Club was represented by Wharton,
Summers. Taliaferro and ChiidS. The Co
lumbia team has been organized but re-
Gently, and the splendid showing against q
team Of the unusual strength of the Capt.
tai 81. four. speaks volumes for the indi-
vidual prowess Of the team. In fact, the
Capital four Is made up Of four Of the
cleverest players in the country, its work
when playing for the American Whist
League trophy substantiating this asser-
ton.
return match will be played Wednesday
evening January q, the Capital Bicycle

TROUBLED OVER WET GRAIN
Nebraska Dealers and Kansas City
Commission Men Not Agreed
over Losses.
FrOm a stan correspondertl

LINCOLN, June 10.-(special Telegram)
After discussing all afternoon methods
of procedure in the matter of the loss of
grain by the Kansas City flood, the Ne
braska Grain Dealers association adjourned
tonight without deciding anything definite.
Tomorrow commission men of Kansas City
are expected to meet with the grain deal
ers for a conference. The high water in
Kansas City destroyed about 500 cars of
grain, valued at over S20O,0OO that had
been shipped there from Nebraska. Most
of the grain had been inspected, but had
not been weighed out to the purchasers.
The question now is who did it belong to.
The commission men claim that IL was not
their grain, because II had not been
weighed out to them and the Nebraska
dealers claim IT did belong to the commits
sion men. Nearly every firm south of the
Platte will lose money II the commission
men refuse to stand for the loss. 1t was
thought, however, at the meeting tomorrow
a compromise will be effected that will be
advantageous to the Nebraska dealers.
Several cases have already been settled
with the commission men assuming most
of the loss. If compromise is not effected
the courts will have to decide the case.
