ard them. 107. Two packs of cards of different colors are invariably used at Clubs, and this should be adhered to if possible. 108. A player having the lead and another winning card to play, should not draw the second card out of his hand till his partner has played to the first trick, such act being a distinct intimation that the former has played a winning card. 109.
