A. "In," In circulation. Tho

number on back of tray or board I j knave?
Is placed In tho center of .No. 1
table, with the arrow pointing north,
us printed on the tray to Indicate
this dealer, Tho tray must remain
on the table during tho play of the
hand and until it is used as here
nfter described.
Odd X umbers of Tables Host
There should be U least five or your holding Is shorter in the suit
more tables In play at a limn. An "inn your partner's and your'cards
odd number of tables Is i.irolerahle j might win the trick and talto to
as then the truys '.(after usel are '''"'I '"'' "'"i disastrously, thereby
shutting ouL'liio chance of bringing
in bis long suit.
pusHivi one way ann uie east and
west players move the other. When
uu even number of tables are In
play and when half the number of
moves huvo been made, .then the
players sit siii until two rounds
have been played I the trays having
been moved after each round).
Then the east and west move to
the next table and finish the play
of tho trays. '
The game consists ot regular
Auction brldgo players at multiple
of number of tubles. For Instance,
24 tables would start with one tray
for each tjciilo, tho number of which
tray should correspond to the num
ber of the table. Or say nine
tables would play 27 deals or trays,
having three, dealB or trays (called
a frame) on each tahlo.
Tho 'Ialn' tray Ib a squdre de
vice with four .pockets in which the
four hands are kept, enabling the
several north players to tine the
samu hands and tho south players
tho same und so in.
The players do not throw their
curds In the center of the tahlo us
In most curd games, but, us In dup
licate whist, each player places his
curd, as ho plays It, on the table In
I runt of him, and turns Its face
downward us soon as the winner of
the trick turns his curd, nnd the
cards of that trick 'must not be
seen iigulii (thu trie 1c Is then said
to huvo been turned uuitteill.
As each succeeding curd is turn
ed, It should bo placed so as lo
overlap thu card previously played,
thus retaining the cards in lexact
order In which they were played.
The winners of tho trick pluco their
cards, as they turn thorn down, per
pendicularly to the edge of the
table nearest thcni; the losers, on
the contrary, place their cards horl
zontnllly. When the deal (thirteen tricks)
has been played, tho four hands
should each he separately shull'led,
and each player's cards slipped Into
the pocket, of the Iray directly In
front of hhu (ihe id-row always
point north), thus carefully retain
ing the position in which they were
I;. -Id by the players.
