This it a favorite game In Edinburgh and other parts of SeoUaad, thongh we believe it Is not much known In the iliM kingdom. It may be played by flrom 2 to 8 per- tioB, with 86 cards; the small cards of each suit, viz., the 2,3, 4, and 6, being thrown out; and if necessary for an etpiu dlvldon of the cards, one or two of the turn. IT the party consists of 3, 3, 6, or 7, each plays on his own accoant When two play, three hahds are dealt tbr each (layer, the first two hands f^om tho top of the pack, then other two,, and lastly the third two, the 86 oaid being ^ed vp. The hands aire played la the order In wbloh uey were dealt In IIM maimer, when three play, two mdsar* dealt for each, and.playedin the sataCMder. lithe (attj toulBta of 4, A and Care partners sgunit B and D; If .6, A, 0, and E, against B, D, and Fr-or A and D, B and E, 0 and F, In three partnerships; If 8, A,, C, B, and G, agdinst B, D, F, and H, or they may form four partnerehlpir-fhe partners always sitting opposite to each other, with an adversary between each two. THC MODI or rtATtMO Is the same as at wblst; the cards being out, and dealt by one or three at a time, and the last one lamed np for trump; they have the sane valne as at whiit, except In the tmmp salt Forty-one is game, and the points are made by coanling the cards In the tricks taken, and the honors of tnimpe. Each card above the w^'s share In the tricks taken counts for.one. Thus, if four are play- ing, each person's share of the 86 cards is 9. If two part- pen take eight tricks, (4 tnuIUpUed by 8-are 82) ther reckon 14 towards game, that being the numberover their jdntAans of twice 0, or 18. The knavo of tnunps Is ,th».beat, 'and leokoas for 11, aoe next, for 4, king for 8, queen for 2, and the Tea for 10. They are not reckoned^ as at whiet, by the party to whom they are dealt: bat to those who take then la tbdoohrse of playing. ' luxiid roB mTDTO. As the name implies, the grand ottlect la this game Is to (ktch the Ten of tramps, or to prevent Its being oangbt bv the advetaarv. The only safe way of saving ataumg tne Ten^ is lo play It la a ronnd of tramps, when one of your partners has played the best tmmp; or if yoa bap- pen to be last player, and' have none oi the salt led, tmmp with your Ten, If It will take the trick, or If year partner has already .taken It These are very tavorable opporhuiUes/anddO not often otour; so that It isfre- qnently oeoeaiary to ran some risk to leonre so Important acard—aslqr tramping salt In a second round, thongh not hut player—trnsUng to year partner's holding toe best trtap, in.
