ULES AND TACTICS OF PtAY
Flayers Herk to Aecamalate Hearta,
Not to Get Rl af Taeai It Is
Practlra.Hr A Me
Card Gaaae.
The necessity for something new In the
s-ay of a card Kama haa evolved a new way
if playing hearts. The fundamental Idea
Df the same Is not to get rid of your
Hearts, but to accumulate aa many you
lan of them, and the difference that thii
toakm In the management of the hands 1b
tstonlshlng. It I practically an entirely
new eame of cards.
The rules of the game are few and
easily learned. To begin with, there
Ihould be four players, using a full pack
Of fifty-two card. The dealer distributes
these out one at a time until each player
haa thirteen and then the eldest hand
leads for the first trick.
. He Is at liberty to lead any card he
pleases, but the leads for all succeeding
tricks are limited by a very simple rule.
If hearts are led, the winner of the trick
an not lead hearU again unless ha has
settling- else In his hand.
Suppone a player leads hearts and wins
the trick himself. He must change the
ult for the next lead. If some other
player wins the trick, he cannot return
the heart lead, but must oh ante the suit
and must continue to lead some other suit
than hearts aa long aa he remains In the
lead.
It a player who haa led hearts, or wins
a trick In which hearts are led, losea thj
lead and regains It again, he can then lead
hearts, provided It is not a heart trick
on which ha regains tho lead.
The object of this rule is to shut out
the player who la lucky enough to have
two or three top hearta dealt him and a
winning card or two outside. Such a
player could lead one round of hearts, then
another suit and then hearts again, but
for the rule he cannot lead hearts a sec
ond time until some one else has won a
trick and led something besides hearts.
Every heart taken In counts to the
player winning It, each man In the game
' being for himself. Those who take no
hearts are set back if the play is for a
core. If It is for chips they pay the
winners.
If one player takes no hearts he is set
back thirteen points or pays thirteen chips,
aa the case may be, and the three that
take hearta win as many points as they
have hearta at the end of the hand.
If two playera take no hearta the one
nearer the dealer on his left loees seven
points and tho other losea six, so that
there are thirteen to pay the winners.
If three playera take no hearts they
must pay the winner of the whole thirteen
double. This double payment Is divided
by charging the loser who la nearer the
dealer on hla left ten points, the others
being charged eight each and the winner
getting twenty-six. These are the pots
that are worth winning, but they very sel
dom happen. It Is no easy job to win all
thirteen hearts when you are trying to do
aa however easy it' may be when you
have three men anxious to load you up
with them, aa In the . ordinary game of
hearts.
It is simpler to pay and take as you go,
using counters, although many prefer
the pad and pencil method. In playing
for chips, if all four players take hearts
It Is a Jackpot and no one wins anything,
but on the next hand the losers will have
to pay double. If there Is only one loser
it will cost him twenty-six. If there are
two losers tho elder band will have to
pay fourteen and the other . twelve. If
there are three losers It will cost them
twenty, sixteen and sixteen, respectively,
and the fortunate winner takes all.
At first sight this may not appear to
be much of a game, but a very little ex
perience with It will convince any one
who understanda the fine points of whist
or bridge that there Is plenty of room
for the display , of .memory and Judgment
and that It Is far superior as a game to
the old game of hearts.
The eldest hand has no particular ad
vantage unless he holds the ace of hearts
and leads It for the first trtok. To com
pensate for this possible advantage he Is
called on to pay more than the others
If he gets no hearta at all. There Is little
use In leading equals as at bridge to es
tablish secondary cards In hearts, aa you
simply give some player four hearts and
give away tho lead for nothing. It Is
much better to clear a suit which you
will be at liberty to lead as often as you
please If you get In again.
The play la in the plain suits, not In the
hearts, and the trick is to hold back your
winning cards in a suit as long as you can,
so as to use them eventually for re-entries
for the established small cards In other
suits. If you can get Into the lead at the
end of a hand with a run of established
eatds those who are holding up winners
In other sulta will have to part with them,
cr else they will have to give you hearts.
If they give you all the hearts, of what
use are their winning cards In other suits?
In a recent game the leader held five
hearts to the ace, king, queen, ace and two
small clubs, three little diamonds, queen
and one spade. Begtrnlng with the ace
of hearts, he switched to a small diamond.
The dealer, who held seven diamonds
to the king, queen. Jack, ten, the king
and three spades, king of clubs and the
seven of hearts alone, found all his dia
monds established after the aecond trtok.
He followed suit to a spade, got In on the
next spade, dropping the queen from old
est hand, and then ran rff his diamond.
Tut player who held the Jnck of spades
had to guess whether to keep that or to
guard the queen of clubs, and kept the
suit that had never been led. so one of
the dealer's small spades won the eleventh
trirk. Kldest hand waa now down to club
ace and king of hearts. When the thir
teenth spade came along he thought the
player must have one more heart, so he
let go his ace of clubs.
This shows how a player with only one
heart In his hand, and not an ace in any
suit, can win nine hearta out of the thir
teen, if he has a little luck.
The trick of the game Is not, as one
might Imagine, winning hearts by getting
Into the lead with high hearta or winning
tricks In other suits and then leading win
ning hearta, but it Is In putting the ad
veraaiiea in difficulties with their discards
on your long suit. Incidentally, of course.
there Is a great deal of Judgment required
In keeping the player who I marked with
the winning hearta from getting into the
lead.
There Is a good deal of finesse In the
concealment of the high hearta. especially
when the holder of the ace doea not lead
It, oven when he gets in and might do so.
This leads other playera to mark him as
not holding It, and they allow him to get
Into the lead on other auita, taking It
for granted that he will not lead hearta
In thla way they play right Into hla hand
by enabling him to establish a lot of suit
' cards.
After having avoided the heart lead until
ume player haa- nothing else to lead, this
fyxy player bobs up with the ace of hearts
aud bfihaS la all atia ealayalisaaa cards In
the other suits, much to the disgust of the
players who have been unwittingly helping
him along and who now have to pay double
perhaps.
The principal fun of the gam comes
when one player only has taken no hearts
and he Is struggling manfully to get into
the lead and make some or his established
cards at the end, which must force heart
discards. Foreseeing this It Is the policy
of the others to discard their hearta on
the tricks won by those who already have
hearts If they can, so that thero shall be
no hearts left by the time the fourth man
gets going with his winning cards at the
end.
Sometimes when the game Is played for
chips and Is pay as you go they make a
variation by paying for the hearts you
take when everyone takes hearts, as there
are no losers on that hand to pay. These
payments go Into a pool or Jackpot and on
the next deal In which someone gets no
hearts the chlpe in the. Jackpot are used to
pay double to the winners.
Suppose that all four take hearts and
pay for them. There are thirteen chips In
the pot. On the next deal suppose that
two players only get hearts, one winning
eight, the other five. The two losers have
to pay seven and six, making twenty-six
chips In the pool. Of these one player gets
sixteen, the other ten.
This Is one of those games that you may
think you are playing when you are not.
because you can have Just as much fun if
you play It very badly as you will If you
play It very well and some duffer upsets
all your Inferenoes and knocks your coup
Into a cocked hat.

LIVERPOOL CABLES ABE STEADY
PLUCKY GIRLS IN A SWIM
Three Slaters Perform aa TJaaaaal
Feat la the Waters of New
York Harbor.
Had it not been for the presence of a
steamship Ethel Due, 17 years old. might
havo established a record on Sunday,
August 19, In swimming In a straight line
across the Narrows, New York harbor.
She awam from liegeman's dock. Fourth
avenue, Fort Hamilton, In a straight line
to a point on the Staten Island shore be
tween Quarantine and Fort Wadsworth.
Her time was one hour and twelve mln
utes for the distance of one mile and a
quarter. As she emerged from the water
the girl declared that had she 'not been
compelled to wait until the steamship
passed her she could have made the swim
in one hour.
Accompanying the girl in the swim were
her two sisters, Beatrice, tt years old.
and Vera, IS. The young't proved tho
heroine of tho day. She Hfkia caught in
the current of a strong incoming tide and
was carried far out of her route. She
swam ten miles and remained In the water
for four hours and twelve minutes. When
two guards In rowboats who remained
close to Beatrice became alarmed over her
ability longer to fight against the current
she protested vigorously and refused to
leave the water. They finally were com
pelled to pull her into the boat and row
to the Staten island shore.
All the girls are daughters of Mr. and
Mrs. Alfred Due of Eighty-fourth street
and Seventh avenue, Brooklyn. They,
with several friends, accompanied the
swimmers from their home to the start
Ing point, where they arrived Just after
I o'clock In the morning. The girls en
tered the water at half hour Intervals.
IleaArlce waa tho first to dive from the
float She entered the water at thirteen
mlnutea to ( o'clock, after waiting for
tho Incoming tide to change. Half an
hour later Vera dived. Ethel, tho eldest,
was the last to enter the water.
All the girls struck out atrongly and
made straight for their goal. Beatrice,
however, had gone only 100 yards
from the Brooklyn shore when she
waa caught in the current and carried
rapidly up stream. Her strength was not
sufficient to battle against It, and she
floated on up toward the upper bay until
she had reached a point opposite Sixtieth
street, Brooklyn. Then she started across
stream; but the tide, although weaker,
was still running and she , made slow
progress.
Vera kept steadily on across the Nar
rows. She waa barely to be seen In the
water when Ethel plunged from the
Brooklyn float. The elder girl seemed
more capable of battling with the tide
and kept strictly to her course. She swam
evenly and without effort.
Beeause of the strength of the tide the
first half hour that Vera was In the water
resulted in her making little speed. Ethel,
who was stronger and did not experience
the same difficulty, passed her sister half
way across. She had only a short way
to go when a steamship, waiting for the
arrival of Quarantine physicians, weighed
anchor, turned about and started toward
the upper bay. Ethel was compelled to
stop, treading water and drifting about
until the vessel had passed. Then she
struck out again and finished the swim
without difficulty. The total ,lme elapsed
was one hour and twelve minutes. No
one seemed to know the record for the
swim.
Vera, having been unable to make a
straight route, reached shore at Quaran
tine. Beatrice was still fighting her way
down stream. She finally reached a point
about 100 yards off the engineers' pier at
Quarantine, when two guards pulled her
from the water despite her protests.
as binei aived into the water a man
about 23 years old apeared on the pier
and followed her into the water. Ha swam
across to the Staten Island shore, remain
ing always close to the girl. He refused
to tell his name.

CATTLE Receipts of cattle this morn
ing were light as usual on a Saturday,
which means there was nothing here to
make a market. The total for the week
haa been quite liberal, showing a decrease
as compared with the big run of last week.
The market as a whole haa been In very
fair condition, especially considering the
size of the run
Desirable cornfed cattle have been In
very moderat supply throughout the week,
with the result that prices have been
firm and at the close of the week are gen
erally quoted at 10tfl6c higher. The best
finished beeves sold up to 87.50. Range cat
tle which have constituted the great big
bulk of the beef supply have also been
good sellers, with gradually strengthening
prices until they are as much aa 1525c
higher than last week.
The market on cows and heifers showed
considerable, weakness to start with owing
to the big supply of that kind of stock.
Later on, with receipts not quite so large,
there has been a decided improvement, so
that any loss In values earlier In the week
has been entirely wiped out during the later
part of the week. More than that, canning
grades have shown considerable improve
ment, being around 25o higher than a week
ago and the good to choice grades have
alao shown an advance of 15ca2ic. Other
kinds remained about steady.
The promise of good fall pastures put
new life In the stocker and feeder market
thla week, so that in spite of liberal re
ceipts, good to choice heavy feeders liuve
advanced 154T25C with light Blockers, which
were very low at the close of last week,
25fi40c higher.

HOGS There were some good shipping
orders In this morning and anything that
found favor In the a vox of buyers for that
purpose commanded good strong prices. It
was a noteworthy fact that some of thee
orders called for heavy hogs and a number
of weighty loads sold around $7 90, but It
will be well to understand that they were
very choice. Packers on the other hanu
were not very brisk buyers and the gen
eral run of hogs such as they bought sol.
at prices that ranged anywhere from about
steady to 60 lower than yesterday. The
bulk of all the hogs sold at $7.753 7 96, with
better loads selling on up to $8.00.
Receipts of hogs have been very liberal
this week, showing a gain of over 4,0u)
head, as compared wtih the same days
last week and of almost 8,0(10 head as com
pared with a year ago. .At the same time
the market haa been in very aallefactory
condition, prices gradually strengthening
up until at the close of the week liogs are
selling 15920c higher than one week ago.

SHEEP There were no sheep on sale to
day, only four double-decks being received,
and they were consigned direct to a packer.
Receipts for the week total about 79.000
head, about "2.000 head heavier than lant
week, and 19 000 head lees than the number
received during the same period last year.
Between 45,000 and 50.0U0 head ot this wek's
run were feeder sheep and lambs. Owing to
the fact that a goodly number of ship
ments consisted of mixed stock, the greater
delay occasioned by sorting made the gen
eral market appear slower than It ordinar
ily would be.
Fat sheep and yearlings were good sell
ers at the opening of the week on a well
supplied market. Packers were anxious
enough for desirable killers to add on two
or three nickels and Monday's trade closed
fully a dime higher. Lower eastern advices
and continued liberal receipts, excepting
yesterday, caused a logical reaction In
values and current quotations are compar
atively steady with a week ago. The trade
on most days haa been rather quiet. Choice
handywelght wethers are quotable up to
$4.66. with really prime fat yearlings not
far from $5.85.
Supplies in fat lambs havs not been ex
cessive or very desirable. Even with a
blckly demand with which to contend,
salesmen managed to squeeze out gener
ally firm prices on the bulk of offerings
until Wednesday, when values dropped
with a thud. The total decline for the week
Is about 35ju0c. In defense of their bear
ish attitude, packers say that their pur
chasers have killed out poorly and that
the actual decline Is not as great as It
seems, quality considered. There has been
nothing very choice on sale lately, but top
notches would probably sell right around
$7.16.
The even poise of the feeder market was
disturbed somewhat during late rounds
Thursday when buyers not only demanded,
but were able to obtain small concessions
In the lamb branch of the trade. Aside
from this temporary weakness, prices on
all clUHt.es of feeding sheep snrt lambs have
ruled f rm. Closing quotations are juit
nM iv with last wee'-. The volume
of demand throughout has been fully pro-
pui'.u to the liberal receipts; Inquiry
has been brisk and recent general rains
have at least Insured a stability to present
quotations. In passing. It might be worth
while to note thst the small feeder-buyer
Is greatly In evidence.
