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.]
