Whist was first called triumph" a

saw whist in its primitive form, the
whole object of the game being to win
tricks by leading high cards or by
trumping.
Then came the era of Hoyle, which

to 1860, and taught players to think
not only of their own hands but of
the other hands also, and to take ad.

trumps might be more prontably en-.

secondary advantage in trick-maliinG

REAL ESTATE SALES INCREASING

Within the last ten days Los An
geles capitalists have invested the
sum of 100000 in Salt Lake real es-
tate. Attracted by the cheapness of
property here and realizing that this
city has a great future, business men
from the coast town have bought State
street lands. Among the bits of realty
changing hands are the piece opposite
the Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone
company's building; the site occupied
by "Sullivan's" saloon, adjacent to
the Independent Telephone company's
new and handsome structure and sew
eral pieces near the corner of State
and Fifth South. The purchasers
were perfectly satisfied with the
prices and expressed themselves as
believing that in the very near future
other Los Angeles buyers would visit
the city with view to acquire hold
ings. 1t is predicted that not less than
a half million dollars will be invested
from that city alone during the conf
ing summer.
There is no use talking, Salt Lake
City is bound to grow. The signs of
the times point to an increase in popu-
lation to at least 100000.

The players have raised a pool of
$500 to bet on themselves. There
is, in fact plenty of National league
money in sight, but there seems to be
a difficulty in placing it. When the
Giants get in Philadelphia there may
be some Quaker City money in sight,
but up to the present time it is hard

passenger on the Tartar, bound for

St. Louis, Oct. 9Though overshadow-
ed by the battle for the big bunting in
the east, the clash between the Cardinals
and Browns which starts today should
prove of more than ordinary interest.
OF late the Cardinals have been play
ing a patched-up team, owing to a big
hospital list. but the chances are that
the team will be able to put in its best
men for the series with the Browns.
SmOOt and Shannon have been under
the weather, but are rounding into
shape, and Shay, who has been absent,
owing to illness in his family, should
also be in line again. With this line
up the Cardinals win look mighty good.
The Browns have not been having any
trouble with their inf1e1ders or Outfield-
ers. and viii be able to go into the post
season contest in excellent shape so far
as these departments are concerned.
Pitching is likely to prove the most
important feature of the series, and
there is much uncertainty here. Each
team has one star. Taylor has not been
pitching any too brilliant ball for
Cardinals, but he is a grand twirler
and can be counted on to go at his best
| against the Browns, as his heart is set
on beating AIcAleer's team. Howell is
the Browns star. and he is not a whit
I behind Taylor in any respect Harry
has been pitching consistently good ball.
and he will go into the fall series in
good shape.
