BRIDGE KNOCKED
OUT BY NEW GAME
It’s Called “Cooncan." and the
London Clubs Have Put Old
Card Game in Back Seat.
LONDON. July 9. —“Coonean" has
become the rage. It i* the game of the
season in clubs and country houses. I
Auction bridge has been squeezed into
a distant corner near the window, and
bridge is almost forgotten.
"Cooncan" is played every day in
many London clubs, and the Hath club
(which, with th'- Portland club, stand
ardized the rules of auction bridge) has ■
formulated a set of rules for the game, i
deciding that it may b< played by any |
number of players not exceeding five. |
There are no partners. Each hand is a I
complete game, so that a player can
“cut in” whenever there is room for
him and drop out whenever he pleases.
Only one player can win. All the rest
pay to him. according t > the value of
the “pips" on the cards which they have
not succeeded in playing.
Home Game Is played.
The game is played with two packs
of ordinary cards and two jokers. All
are shuffled together. Ten cards are
dealt to each player, and another
turned up. to form the nucleus of a
"rubbish heap." As his turn comes,
each player takes up a aid. which may
either be the top card of the "rubbish
heap" or the undisclosed top card of
the undead pack, and in return for ft :
places another, face upward, on the!
top of the heap.
His object then is to get fld of all
his cards before anybody else. He can
lay down, face upward, either three or
more cards of a similar value, or a se
quence of three or more cards of the
same suit. He plays then when he
pleasea: if he prefers, he may hold up
for a larger coup or to prevent opening
up the field for other players.
The next player does exactly the I
same—with this addition: he may add
a single card, or more, to anybody s I
* disclosed sequences or sets of a value.
He may even shift the Joker to the
other end of a sequence if that suits
him, but the joker can only be shifted
once. And so the game goes on until
one player lias no more’c uds in his
hands, and he is the vvinner.
Women are exceedingly fond of the
game. It has the engaging element of
chance, tempered with some Judgment,
and is devoid of the finer intricacies
of bridge.
Old-fashioned card players, robbed
of their rubber of bridge by this devas
tating new craze, speak of it contempt
uously as “ a sort of glorified "old
maid."

SDLOJEH TRAIN
Sergeant Delays Start to An
niston Camp Until He Cap
tures His Pet.
Just is four companies of the Seven
teenth infantry were leaving Atlanta
tills morning for the Anniston en
campment, a little white poodle leaped
from the train. The next moment a
brawny sergeant was in pursuit.
“Stop the train." he bawled. And
the train was stopped. It required
fifteen minutes for him to capture his
pet, the train waiting for him all the
while. He confided to a bystander that
unless "Jenks” had come along the
Anniston maneuvers would never have
soon him.
This soldier wasn’t alone in posses
sion of pets. Throughout the dozen or
more coaches enlisted men could be
.seen with "mascots” In their arms.
Sometimes it was a huge, ugly bull
dog. or maybe just a. plain tabby cat.
Four companies—C, G. E and F—
the band, several dozen mules, some
few hundred pounds of bacon and a
big supply of coffee and other pro
visions were whisked axvay from the
Union fetation this morning. They will
be followed next week by local militia
men.
During the several hours prelimi
nary to departure. Wall -street and the
railroad yard was dotted with khaki
anil members of the Curiosity club,
who were standing around to see what
they could .see. . ,
The maneuvers at Anniston will last
for seveial weeks, during which time
the militia .of all the Southern states
will take alternate turns at the in
