He counts the hand thus : to save the game Zmust hold ace, queen, or ace, knave of spades ; his thirdcard is evidently the remaining diamond. A has the nineof clubs (see fall of the club suit in Tricks 2, 7, and 9), andtwo trumps. B has two trumps, one being queen or knave(see Trick 9), and king,- knave of clubs. If the cards re-maining in each hand are placed face upwards on the table,and the uncertain cards, viz., the nine, four, and three oftrumps are given two to A, and one to B, it will be seenthat, if Y overtrumps with the seven, he cannot make therequisite three tricks ; but that, if he leaves the lead withA, YZ make the remaining tricks. It may be added, that if, at Trick 10, A discards his club,and keeps his three little trumps together, leaving the trickto B, AB must win the odd trick if B leads a trump at Trick11 after trumping. This A might have reckoned. THB HANDS,(Ys hand is given above.) As ,
