THE GAME OF "IIOIV IT EXCELS POKER AND IS EQUAL TO THE FASCINATING FARO. A Kaw Short t'anl Cam That Ua Taken Paris and London bjr Storm, and Prom. laaa to llmtnia Popular In America llow It la riaed and Ilia Rule for It. People of Purls who gamble are de voting all of their spare lime to a new game that has supplanted all of the other games played for money. The new game bf called "hop," and It la described as being the most fascinat ing gome that luis ever been played not even excepting the alluring game 01 poker. Paris is so Infatuated with "hop" that millions of francs are lost and won at it every night The game of "hop" has been Intro duced into the clulrs of London, and it is being played there with a teal worthy of a better cause. So far aa known the game has not as yet been attempted in the United States, but it is only a matter of time when it will become as popular there as in runs and London, for the reason that it is so enticing that it is im possible for card players to wiuistnnu its temptations. All thut is required to render it a go there is to explain the rules governing the pluy. "Hop" is an extremely simple game. Any person of ordinary mental culiber can plav it if once told how to proceed. Hero la a description 01 ine game: Four persons are necessary to make up a game. Tuke four decks of cards. from winch throw out ail 01 me car us below tho sevens. That leaves the aces, kimw. nueens, jacks, tens, nines, eights and sevens to pluy wth. roi R pecks a ONE. All four of the decks are shuffled to gether as though they were one deck. This done, and, the cards having been cut, one person mnkes tho ileal, giving one card atafneto ine oiner piuyers until he has dealt them three cards apiece, but taking no cards himself. After the deal those who have been supplied with cards look at their hands and bet or stay out, as their judgment dictates. The matter of betting having been settled, the dealer turns a card from the tm rtt iho iI.h-U and tirocecds to pay and take, according to the exigencies of the game, . (sworn and winners are determined thus: If the dealer turns an aco ho makes a sweep, or, in other words, wins all of the liets thnt are made, regardless of tho cards held by the other piuyers. If he turns a king, and there are any H., in iIib bunds out. tliev "stand oil the dealer. All cards below the king lose on that hand or deal All aces out win. it la merplv this: The persons to whom the cards are dealt take chances, after looking at their cards, and before aw.iinr tli turn tin. of their cards being either higher in denomination than the card that will lie tunieu up or as uigu. Th nin is the dealer's percentage. A king or a seven will stand off a king or a seven, ana mere is nouung iub on such a stand off, but nothing will stand off nn ace when turned by a If there are three aces in a hand against the dealer, he wins if he turn an ace, wiion tho ranis have all been dealt by one dealer he jwsses them to the player on his left, and they are shuffled and ,ini hv ilmt twrson until they ore again exhausted, and so on as long as the game lasts. They ore not shuffled between the hands as in poker or euchre, but after each hand is plaved the cards employed in that hand are thrown aside, not to be used until another granu snume uus wu A limit ta nlnred on bet 8 to DO made, which is determined, of course, by the purse of the players. 1 SAMPLE GAME.
