The letter we publish below is from one of the “old guard” of the American Whist League, and oue of the directors of the league. The club that he is president of made one of the best records in whist play of any club belong- ing to the American Whist League. His modesty prevents us mentioning his name. He thinks as we do. He wno writes for whist, and not for fame, Will ne'er subscribe his sayings with his name. Nevertheless, we feel proud to think that such critics as Trist,Work, Drayson, Cavendish, Paine, Miss Wheelock, Briggs, Bunn, Mitchells Weems, Leroy Smith, Presilent Barney, Otis, Kribben and otbers want to see and reaa oar articles each week, and to occasionaily receive such letters is certainly very gratifying.

In a leuter to our whist editor Cavendish says: inclose you a hand as you want it ‘so bad.’ eyed South. There fs not much in my play, the trumps can easily be counted at trick \bree. The best pointin the hand, I think, is my partner’s discard of diamonds.” * * * Cavendish further says: “Short suitism and other fads will die & naturai death waen people find they don’t pay. There are one or two plays which require serious consideration. viz.: the lead from sce and four others (smail) in plain suits, and the lead from king, jack, ten and one small. Ihave discussed these in an article in Harper’s Weekly for July.” Com- menting on some of our articles in reiation to fads he eay! “1 don’t quite agree withyou about driv- ing out fads.

This desl from “Cavendish” i & very in. structive one for beginnersand advanced play- ers as well. Every student of whistshould take & pack of cards, deal the hand and study it. Tbe opening leader makesthe conventional lead from his suit of four trumps, and at trick 3 how many young y}layers are there with South’s hand who would refrain from putting up the king ? Again, at trick 11, South’s lead of the 7 of diamonds, placing the iead with North for the purpose of having the lead of clubs come through East, shows how careful we should note thedrop of every cara and the informa- tion that goes with it. 'Twill be many a day before we can publish a hand that is more worthy of study than this one.

The winuing eard is underscored. TRICKS. SOUTH.| WEST. | NORTH.| EAST. Q0 Score: North and South 12, East and West 1. Comments on the play by the ‘Master’’: Trick 1-North, having four trumps and three of each other suit, leads a trump. Trick 3—North has no better game than to continue the trump. As he now leads the seven be nolds two higher. East. playing the /five, may be read with the knave single. Therefore North's femaining trumps are nine, ®eight, and the seven is a sure trick-winner. Consequently South passes. Trick 4—North rises o the situstion. Unless East1s playing the giddy goat with king, jack, of trumps South has the king. Trick 5—South can count his partner with the last trump. He therefore leads & smail heart from uce, queen, six in snit. Asit hap- pens it makes no difference whether South leads ace or small. . Trick 8 and 9. North's discard of guarded knave of diamonds s good, as the winning_ dismond is certainly against him, Trick 11—South plays to put the lesd in North’s band, that he mey lead clubs.” If South, here, leads a club, “because you dis- carded diamond partner,” he loses & trick, as the cards happen to lie. Moreover, it is & moral certainty that West does not hold king of clubs, as he can be counted with two dis- monds and one club. If hehad king of clubs be would have dizcerded another diamond to keep the king of clubs guarded. Note—If the trumps are drawn, no play can prevent South’s bringing in the hearts. But if, at trick 3, South plays carelessly and puts on king of spades, he loses two tricks. East will then make juck of spades and (if he re- turns a diamond) West will make queen of dismonds. Whist at Vallejo. On Saturday last twelve picked players of the San Francisco Whist Club went to Valiejo for anouting and also to play the first of a series of three games for a trophy with the Cham- pion Vellejo Club.

Hotel Victory is a new hotel and one of the largest in the United States and its surroundings make'it sn ideal place in which to hold a convention. T. E. Otis, whist editor of the Newark Even- ing News, says in & recent issue: the elementarv theory of the game at present will be more generaliy acceptable to the majority of whist play ers, consequently articles upon various features of elementary whist, namely, “American Whist Leads.” will be considered, par:icu arly m(’u-poulu which are often quesiioned as being sou Mr, Otis shows excellent judgment and good common-sense in keeping his whist readers out of deep water. If all writers would do the seme the whist students would get out of their kilts quicker. Charles E. Coffin, the author of “The Gist of Whist,” has just returned from a summer trip to Europe. Mr. Coffin not only writes whist— and writes it 0 plain that beginners should all read his book—but he ridesa wheel. In this way he traveled over a thousand miles in England and on the Continent. Mr. Coffin, in writing to the whist editor, says many things about whist in Indianapolis, and winds up by seying the queen, Miss Kete Wheelock, comes October 1 for tke month; then whist will boom.
