Cricaco, June 11.—[Special Telegram to Tux Bre.] —Unfortunate errors lost Omaha the game. The Maroons made the same num. berof errors, but by good luck they did not prove expeusive, while the errors of Cooney in the first inning proved costly. It wasa good game, however, and well worth seeing. The Maroons made eight hits and the Omahas made the same number, but the Tucky Maroons' hits were to the best advant- age, while the visitors failled to profit by theirs, although there was a double and a triple among them. The fielding was really good and the game was equal to many that the league considers first class. Hengle made a bad break in the eighth inning, when he let Burns score the only run credited to the visitors. But for this they would have been whitewashed. Clarke, who pitched for the Omabas, was released from the Chicago league team and much was expected of him. He did not fulfill expectations, however, as the Maroon batsmen got awhy with eight bits, only one being a double. He only struck out three men, while Dwyer struck out six.

Dunn was placed on trial for grand larceny. R. 1. Scott, teller for the Manhattan company, fled to England in 1885, having embezzled about $150,000.

In opening the case it was conte that Dunn did not advise Scott as a lawyer, but as a friend, that the proper mode of pro- ceedure, when he found he could not make good his §10,000 shortage, was to steal enough w cripple the bank and force a settlement with the creditors. Scott will be called to testify to-morrow. —~—— Dressed Beef 1tates Dropped. CuicaGo, June 11.—The recent reduction inlive stock rates between Missouri river points and Chicago caused by making the thirty-four foot car standard, has made it necessary to drop dressed beef rates in th same proportion from Omaha and Couny Blufts, The so-called Hammond contr in which the several lines interested joined some time ago, provides the rates on dressed beef from Omuha to Chicago shall be de- termined by taking the live stock rate as a basis and deduct 8 per cent from th rate per 100 pounds on cattle.

What is gained, he asks, by leaving ecards with all these people and roceiving their cards? When a woman makes her tedious rounds why is she always relieved to find people not in? When she can count upon her ten_ fingers the people she wants tosee why should she pre- tend to want to see the others? Is any- one deceived by it? Does anybody re- gard it a8 anything but a sham and a burden? Much the eynie knows about it. Isit not necessary to have an au- thentic list of pasteboard ac qnmnmum to invite to rcceptions?

For this now you play “duplicaio whist.” Having dealt the cards as usual, you play them according to tho oxisting rules; but then, when the game is over, 1nstead of dunlmg the carda afresh, the same hands which have just been played are again taken by the four players: A and C, however, now having the cards which B and D held. while B and D take the hand just played by A and C. Thus the same hands are rl:n_\--d out a second time, and a score ia kept 8o that it may be seen which pair of partners has made the most of the «ds they have successfully held. And this procéss being repeated with overy game, the rubber is finally said to be won by the two pl'm-' who, undertho above conditions, have shown the greater skill. Skill, in_short, alone tells in duplieate whist, chance having nothing whatever to do with the result; for if one puir of partners get all four honors in their hands in tho first game, their rivals will hold them,ns a matter of course in the next. So far as I can judge, however, duplicate whist is not likely to be generally adopted in- stead of the ordinary game. The ele- ment of chance which enters into whist us now played gives it its chief charm in the eyes of many players, who often trust their luck to enable them to hold their own with far stronger and more scientific players. Luck, indeed, serves not infrequently to make a fair handi- eap out of what would otherwise be a one-sided race, and though Caven=~ dish and other whist players of the first rank are said to be nt admirers of dupl ordinary wh !sl to a comparatively small extent.
