n GAME OF SKAT

A convention which according to
Herman Ridder. the well known Ger
man editor. has within its power the
opportunity ito accomplish a veritabie
mission of culture" is being held in
New York this week. The object is TO
seek TO popularize in America the cell
ebrated German game of skat. at the
same time sidetracking the equally ia
nous game of poker. which does not
bring into play the same intellectual
qualities as the German game. Two
thousand players will sit in the games
at the convention. The occasion will
be the fftieth convention of the Nor
d%oestlicher Skat-Verband."
The game of skat.' says Herman
Ridder, rs decidedly one of the noblest.
If not the noblest. game OF cards in the
world. 1t is adapted TO sharpen the wit
and develop the intellect. Ii is just the
reverse of those other games. which
have a ~deadening effect on the intel
lectual faculties. Skat cannot be
classed among the gamessof chance. as
a good player is able to utilize even a
bad run of cards in such a way that he
does not lose anything. 1t therefore
bids fair TO become a substitute for
poker"
