in Northeastern Penn
sylvania, THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE
FOR THE WHISTERS.
Tho women's congress closed last
Saturday with great enthusiasm nmong
the members. The attendance was largo
each dny. Nearly three hundred wo
men whlsters were present and It Is
conceded that the whist playing shown
In the open games was of a better qunl
Ity than nt the "Manhattan Reach"
congress. The olllcers elected were as
follows: President, Mrs T. II. An
drews, of Philadelphia; vice president,
Mrs. Joseph R. Haw ley, of Washing
ton; second vice president, Mrs. Clar
ence W. lit own, of Toledo; treasurer,
Mrs. Silas W. Pettlt, of Philadelphia;
secretary, Miss Plorcnco C. Green, of
Providence, nnd a board of seventeen
directors from vailous cities. The Im
portant team-of-four match for the
Washington tiophy was won by tho
Trlst Whist club, of Philadelphia, by
one-half a match The champion four
being Mrs. Frank Samuel, Mrs. Rod
man Wlster, Mrs. Hugene Hlllson nnd
Mrs. II. Toulmln. The women's pair
contest wns won by Mrs. Richardson
and Mrs. Brandt, of Hoston. The mixed
pair contest wns won by Miss Golds
borough nnd Mr McCoy, of Haltlmoie,
by three tricks, the match score being
n tie with Mrs Toulmln and Mr. Work,
of Philadelphia. It was Intended to
play a match on Friday between the
women and men, but the attendance
wns fo large that the preparations
proved Inadequate, nnd 11 wns found
to be Impossible to at range a satlsfac
toty match, so tho Immense gathering
had to resort to impromptu progiesslve
games In small sections. At this Hist
Women's Whist congress, which was
at first legal ded ns a doubtful expeii
ment, delegates weto nresent from the
following cities Milwaukee. Washing
ton, Denver, Hrooklyn, Providence. De
catur. Boston. Princeton, Chlcngo, Al
legheny, Wilmington, New Yotk, Haiti
more, San Fiantlsco, Newnrk, Potts
vllle, Minneapolis, Philadelphia and De
troit, and In fact from neaily all whist
centers where whist Is understood and
Its qualUles nppieelated. It may be
trul said that one of the few lemaln
Ing jukes in use for the past 150 jears
has been laid awa In peace.
Tho following hand Is a fair Illustra
tion of tho different opening leads now
In use. Spades, 10, 9, C, 3, hearts, A, 6,

of mind, will lead C J , while the mod

long suit and general weakness.
"Duplicate Whist and Ktodern
Lends," by John T. Mitchell, of Chi
cago, Is the latest addition to whist
literature Unlike some of Its Imme
diate predecessors. It Is an addition In
deed. Every one familiar with the his
tory of the game knows who Mr. Mitch
ell Is and what he has done for whist
In devising methods for match play
and comparison he stands without a
rival In his present wnik he gives
the result of his labor In this field In a
compact and wonderfully clear form.
