first three cards, II either player has a
pair in his hand, he 80 announces, but
he does not say, g have a pair. In
the game OF parosso a pair is a
rondo, and the player must say, II
have rondc," although he does not
show 1t, but must simply announce
that he has it; nor does he count IL
until after the hand is played. He
then counts as follows; A rondo of
kings, points; queen, B; jacks, p
any other rondo, /.
Or, II a player has three cards of a

"rondine." " These are counted after
the hands are played out just as are

points; queens, 9; jacks, 6. ANY other
rOndins, 3.
nounoed beiore the player plays his
hrst card. He need nos play the cards
constituting them Immediately in
sequence, but after he has played his
three cards, he calls attention to the
fact that he has played a Tondo or
rondine, and scores the same.
The scoring is done on a slip of paper
OF on cribbage board, or the score
may be kept with ordinary poker chips,
each player having five rel or blue
chips representing 10 points each, and
eleven white chips representing 1 point
each. The game is 81 points.
After the srondos and rondines are
announced, the dealer 8 adversary lays
any card IN his hand on the table. 1t
10 then the dealers turn. If he can
play . card of the same denomination,
making pair, he announces "parosso'' -
and 10 said TO have "parossoed the
fret card. So also the adversary can
'parosso" a card played by the dealer.
In forming "parosso, however, no
other cards can be played between
the cards forming II. Parosso''
counts as follows: Pair of kings, 4
points; queens, 81 jacks, 2; any other
pair, /.
II either player has formed "pa-
rosso" and the next player can play a
third card of the same denomination,
changing the pair into three, he forms
q counter. parosso. Counter paros-
SOS" count as follows: Three kings,
j. points, queens, 8 jacks, 6; any other
three, 3.
II, after a counter parosso" has
been formed, the next player can add
fourth card. making four Of a kind, he
forms "san benito. A san benito'
wins the game, no matter what the
score is. 'Paroseos, - Counter
parosso' and "san benitos" are scored
as soon as made.
In addition TO points scored for
''pRrossos, counter parossoe, &C.,
the following points are scored for
playin cards in place - IL there aIe
no cnrds on the board and the player
whose next turn 1t 10 has an ace be can
play Il to the board and score one
point "in place. " II there be one
card on the board Of any suit or de-
nomination and the player has a deuce
be can play it, thus making two cards
on the board and scoring two for
place. III there are two cards CT sny
suit or denomination on the board and
the player has a three spot be can play
IL, thus making three cards on the
board and scoring three for place. -
SO IL there are three cards on the
board and the player has a four spot
he can play 1t, making four cards on
the board and scoring -four for place. -
The aces, deuoes, treys aud fonr
spots are the only 'plaoe cards, I"

TO the board the number of cards on
the board equals the pip value of the
card played.

of pairing any card in his hand with
any card on the table, taking up such
pair, together with all cards, II there
be any, lying on the table running up

Thus, II he takes a pair of skies and
there be on the table a seven, eight,
nine and ten Of any suit, he may take
/ IN all Of thete cards, putting them to
one side for counting after the deal ia

broken, however; thus, IN the above
instance, u the nine we're missing he
could take only the pair of skies, seven
and eight. This pairing ana taking
the cards from the board score nothing
except 10 the final count 'ioT cards. -
A player cannot lay card on the
