C Knave of diamonds, Ace of hearts, Ace, 8 of spades, 7 of diamonds. Score, love-all. C assists. REMARKS.--B leads the right through the assisting hand, C plays the ace, D the seven, and A should play the king. If A plays the queen to give information to his partner, B should at once continue with the eight of hearts, and thus effect a euchre.
