Is Copyright, by the New York Herald Coz
LONDON, May 6.-'The much vaunted
seedless and coreless apple, imported from
America, has been solemnly pronounced
q fraud on,the premises of Messrs. Shearn
in Tottenham Court road.
Thursday a little crowd OF experts IN
fruit culture met to see the closure put
upon the fierce controversy which for
months past has ragged round this fruit.
Messrs. Shearn purchased for. $15 three
months ago two of the only four alleged
seedless apples which have so far reached
England.
Columns have been written about this
fruit. Never before has an agricultural
product received such a boom, and orders
for the trees have poured in from all
parts OF England,
s. But there was an army of skeptics who
talked and wrote with never failing
energy, their sole desire being to see the
two samples possessed by Messrs, Shearn
put to the test, and those seedless and
coreless apples were undone. revealing
just as many pips and harder and
larger core than most other apples have.
There was gasp of astonishment
among the onlookers, and the comments
which were made were as heartless as
the apples had been claimed to be.

LONDON, May 6.-Considerlng the
popularity Of the game Of bridge In New
York, 1t may interest players to know
that the staple topics Of conversation In
clubs frequented by bridge players here
is the Hon. J. Golfers remarkable pic
ture, "The Cheat at this years Royai
Academy
The picture shows scene at a bridge
table. One Of the players, a woman,
has thrown down her cards, and Is III
the act; Of rising from her seat to de-
nounce an opponent, also woman, on
whose face fury and shame are strug-
Cling for supremacy.
4 The womans partners. too. have
stopped their game, and their gaze is
fixed on the culprit. ,
But how has the woman managed to
cheat, puzzled bridge players are asking,
and very ingenious are some of the tho
ories put forward.
Had the woman who has risen to her
feet been the culprit, the method would
have been sufficiently obvious" said ono
famous bridge expert to an Interviewer; i;
but it lis the woman who Is seated who
is the cheat, and she Is dealer, and her
partner, being dummy, has. Of course,
exposed his hand. It Is evident from the
number Of cards. still lin nand that at
least four tricks have been played. If
the cheat had signalled for trumps. the
most usual method of cheating at bridge,
she would have been found out at once,
and not at this stage Of the game. How
the dealer playing duihTy's hand can
cheat is, in fact a mystery which only
the artist can solve.'''
IT. ipta of b.a
much discussed picture, the interviewer
went for the clue.
8#"I am going to leave the solution of
the little mystery to the public" remark
ed Mr.. Collier to me- 1T is self evident,
though am quite prepared for bridge ex-
.perts to scoff at 1t, because 1t is SO
delightfully."- simple. Knowing little Of
bridge myself turned to my friends
who are expert players and asked them
how they cheated. They all said they
didn't cheat, but they all told me of
others that did, and 50 7 got togethcr
a really choice collection ofmethods OF
cheating.
But unfortunately for me all the
r-ethods,, or nearly all. neccssltated a
collusion between two partners, and It
was necessary for the purpose OF my
picture that the cheat should be alone
in her wrong doing. Well, / found one
way, and 4 believe it is the only Way
in which connivance was not necessary.

my little secret. but the clue Is to be
