rth Trick._--D leads ace of clubs, A ruffs with the nine of diamonds, B covers with the ten, and C wins the trick and scores a euchre with the queen of trumps. REMARKS.--C makes the coup by leading the eight instead of the ace of hearts. C recognized the fact, after the fall of the cards in the second round, that B must have had three trumps to order with, and they must have been the ace, king, ten; and after he had taken the second trick he must throw the lead into D's hand, thereby making his queen against the king, ten. CASE IX. A Queen of clubs (turn-up), Right and left bowers, Queen, knave of diamonds. D B 9 of clubs, Ace, king of clubs, 10 of diamonds, Ace, king, 7 of diamonds. King, 7 of spades, 7 of hearts. C Score, A C one; B D three; and one game. A plays alone. _First Trick._--B leads the ace of diamonds, D plays the ten, and A the knave. _Second Trick._--B leads the seven of diamonds, D trumps with the nine of clubs, and A plays the queen of diamonds. _Third Trick._--No matter what D leads, A is euchred. B here makes the coup by recognizing what A must have for a trump-hand, and leads his small and losing diamond, making it imperative for his partner to ruff, thereby putting the lead through A, and establishing the euchre. [Transcriber's Note: "turn-up" was misprinted "turn up" in Case VI; this typo has been corrected for this electronic edition.] End of Project Gutenberg's The Laws of Euchre, by H. C.
