WHIST CONGRESS BEGINS.
associated Press to The Evening Time,

Boston, Mass, July 9.-Boston is to
be the scene of big deals this week.
They are not deals in stocks or real
estate, but in pasteboard of varied
hues and divers spots. At the Hotel
Somerset this afternoon the sixteenth
congress of the American Whist
league settled down to work and sport.
Those in attendance included repre-
sentatives of which clubs throughout
the country. The feature of this, the
opening day, was the play for the
Brooklyn trophy. Instead of twelve
teams contesting for the Brooklyn
} trophy, as in previous years, the num-
Der of teams this year was reduced to
eight in order that more auxiliary as
sociations might compete, and to make
the playing strength of the visiting
teams thoroughly representative. To-
morrow the play for the Hamilton
trophy will begin, and Wednesday the
Minneapolis trophy will be contested.
The tournament will continue until
the end of the week.
