Tho new game is called "hop," and it

even excepting the alluring gamo of

Paris is so infatuated with "hop" that
millions of francs are lost and won at it
every night.

Any ierson of ordinary mental ealilier

nere is a description of the game:
tout i sons aro necessary to make
up a game. Take four decks of cards,
irom which throw out all of tho cards
below tho sevens. That leaves the aces,
kings, queens, jacks, tens, nines, eights
and sevens to play with.
FOUR DECKS IN OXE.
All four of the decks are shuffled to
gether as though they were ono deck.
This done, and, the cards having been
cut, ono person makes the deal, giving
one card at a time to the other pk-ers
until he has dealt them three cards
apiece, but taking no cards himself.
After the deal thnw u Iia Imrn Imnr.
supplied with cards look at their hands
and bet or stay out, as their judgment
dictates.
The matter of lietti
settled, the dealer turns card from the
top of the deck and proceeds to pav and
take, according to tho exigencies of the
Losers and winners are determined

mates a sweep, or, in other words, wins

kings in the hands out, they "stand oil'
tho dealer. All cards below the kinjj

win.
A. f .
it is merely this: The persons to
whom the cards are dealt take chances.

them to fcolander to cut. Then he deals
ono card at a time, helping Meade first,
until ho deals three cards from tho ton

vi ihu uah 10 eacn 01 me players.
Meade looks at his hand and finds a
king, a ten and a seven. The limit is
$2."i. Meado bets $1. He signifies his
willingness to bet by declaring that it's a
"go," that being the technical phrase.
Holland finds in his hand a jack, a
nmo and an eight spot. He bets the
limit.
Colander discovers a queen and a pair
of tens. Ho bets $0.23.
Blackie then turns up a iack.
iUeades king, being higher than the
jack turned by the dealer, wins 1, but
the ten and seven both being behnv th.-
jac-K, causo Inm to lose $1 each, which
forces him to pay the dealer 1.
Holland's jack is a stand off for Black
ic's jack turned up, and there is no action
so far as that card is concerned. Dick
loses on the ten and the 6evcn, they both
being below tho jack in value, so he owes
Blackie twice 23 until he can see Bill

IJoIandcr wins one bet and loses two,
liaving a queen and two tens.
The next hand, all of the outsiders,
that is, those other than the dealer, have
average cards and bet well up to.' the
limit, but. notwithstanding tha fat u

11 j iiiiiig in signi wnen ne turns up his
card, for it is an ace. Remember, aces
in the hand of tho putsider do not stand
off an ace turned by the dealer. When
the dealer turns an ace there is but one
thing to be done on that deal, and that
is to take everything if you aro the
dealer.
If an outsider hold three cards corre
sponding to any cardxcept an ace
turned by the dealer, theio is nothing
lost or won on the hand, for they are afl
a biiuju on. Ai an outsider nave three
carustnat prove to be higher than the
one turned by the dealer, the person
holdmg the cards in question wins three
times the amount of the money he bet.
If he hold three cards that are lower
than the one turned he loses three times
his bet.
Those who play cards for money like
to get quick action, an for that rea:n
the game of "hop" is bound to become
popular in the States when once started
there. The action in "hop" is as rapid
as in faro. In fact, it is little short of
being furious. Paris Letter to Cincin
