Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
BALTIMORE. Nd. April 2e.-This was
the last day Of the Woman's whist con-
gress. The final events will be played this
evening, and tomorrow the Belvidere Hotel
will indeed seem deserted The last of the
open pair events was played last night.
Each evening the crowd seems to increase,
and many were the expressions of regret
last night that there was no longer any
chance to win another pin.
The morning game of open pairs was
managed by Mr.. Eugene Greenway and
Mr. A. H. McCay. Top score was won by
Mrs. F. B. Drake and Mrs. w. H. Barnes
and Mrs. DR.. Reuling and Mr.. Moody. 1t
seems now as II Mrs. Reuling would GER
tainly win the prize for the highest aRgre-
gate plus, although Miss Schmidt is run
ming her very hard for first place.
But the greatest interest conferred in the
close OF the trophy contests These have
been fought the hardest and won the
hausted and the defeated ones vow they will
never attend another congress.
