Judging by the extensive gathering OF
players at the Hotel Majestic, New York,
yesterday, the fourteenth congress OF the

breaker. Though there was trophy

opening was the contest for the Brooklyn

twelve from auxiliary associations. 1t was
the east against the west on this occasion,
and the honors went to Minnesota, though
the representatives from Chicago puShed
them closely. The eastern teams were from
New York and New Jersey associations and
were beaten badly.
The western teams played so close game
that they were tied on matches, the result
being determined by the trick score. The

citation was composed OF George l.. Bunn.
John H. Hemphill, E. ]. Phelps, E. A.
Montgomery, w. s. Jones, F. M. Barnard.
