pronounced a most fascinating game,

loved bridge to make it popular and yet
enough difference to make a desired
change. For this reason it should prove
more popular than skat, which was in
troduced last year, but .did not meet
With general popularity because it dif
fers too radically from bridge and In
volves so much rapid counting.
