TVre is a certain class of whist players and they are, alas! tee nu nu nu merousweo are conservative te the pitch of being unbearable. Te change In any way the geed old methods of playing the game, te Introduce anything new, Is looked upon with holy horror by these players. Mr. Trist's Innovation was greeted by this class with hlses. This was especially the case In England until Cavendish took tbe matter r.p and adopted the play. The fourth liest card may net Inaptly lie ceuiiinrcd te the mark which Indicates the rise und fall of the tide. Iiy observing the mark you can tell, If .you compare It with the water level, Jusl hew high the tide is just bow much water there Is in the bay. Se when your partner plays his fourth best and afterward plays another card of the same suit, you can tell what cards Ills suit contains. Fer lustance, supjiese you partner plays 3 S, second hand plays 3 S, you have a, q, 7 8 and play q, and fourth hand plays 4 S., you knew at once that your partuer has three spades better than the Sand that he only held four originally because his fourth best was the 3 aud the 1! was played en the first round. Yeu rapidly deduct from the whole suit of spades the curds which have been played and theso held by yourself, and then when you have considered the play of your opponents en your imrtner's lpad, you can tell pretty well Just what cards of the suit your partner held The cards which are left in the ether hands after the first round are the 6, 0, 8, 0, 10, Ln. and k. Your partner has threo of these -nrds. Yeu reason that he must held one honor (or he would net have opened the suit), and probably holds two, se that you are fairly certain that he has the kn. nnd lc This will probably be fully shown en the second round. This shows hew much can be gleuned from the play of the fourth best. Here Is another instance: If your partner plays the , you knew nt once that his best suit is only fourstreng, nnd consequently that he has a ioer hand, and this may deefde you te take the game In your own hnnds, If your strength justifies It.
