WHAT IS "KUHN KHAN?

- THE CARD GAME THAT ANY COOK CAN" PLAY.

Can you get a table for "Kuhi Khan That is the one question which is being asked in all the London card cluba Bridge, of course, has long gone by the board, and Auction is only holding its "Kuhn OWNL with great difficulty. :

Khan is overywhere.

The game sprang up in a night; one day no one had heard of it, the next every- one was playing it. Whore it came from no one scema to know. Stories are told of men who first met it "coming over in the boat," and the general opinion seems to be that Kuhn Khaa" Erst saw the light somewhore in the United States. But

whenever and however the game came to London it has come to stop.

RULES OF THE GAME.

A table is made up of any number of players; five or six makes an excellent game.

The game is played with two packs shuffled together. Should there be seven or more players another pack may be. added.

One Joker is used for each pack.

The right to deal is decided by cutting. Lowest to deal.

Ten cards are given to each player, and one card is turned on the table from the stock to form the nucleus of a rubbish

hesp.

The player who gets rid of all his cards to be the winner.

Cards may be discarded by means of declaration.

Declarations are of two kinds: (a) Three or more of a kind, eg, three kings, four sixes, six tens, (b) Sequences of three or more cards of the sanie suit, -p., 1, 2, 3, 4 of clubs, A. K: Q. of hearts. Cards may also be discarded from the band to the declaration of other players and to the rubbish heap.

HOW IT IS PLAYED.

The dealer gives ten cards, dealt one at a time to each of the playors. Turn one card lace up on the centre of the table and place the stock face downwards beside the faced card.

The next player on the dealer's left examines his hand and takes in either tho exposed card or the top card of the stock. He is then entitled to lay down any com bination or combinations of cards which: comply with the rules (declaration). These cards he places on the table in front of him. He then discards one eard ince up to the rubbish heap, and the next player in order takes in either that card or the top card of the stock.

He may then make or not make, as he pleases such declaration as he may have

HINTS TO PLAYERS.

WATSON'S

OLD BLENDED

It becomes obvious on playing a few GLENLIVET M'

rounds that it is disadvantageous to make early declarations, as other players are thus enabled to get rid of cards which do not fit their own declarations. The ideal declaration is to be in a position to lay the whole lot in one cup and score the whole of the other players' points.

The Jokers, which are not necessary to the conduct of the game, but which do make it more lively, can be declared to

P. &O, LINER ON FIRE AT LONDON DOCKS.

HOLD CONSIDERABLY DAMAGED.

The Twice of the ult. gives the follow- ing account of the fire on the Multa:---

At half-paat 12 yesterday afternoon a fire broke out in one of the coal bunkers aroidships of the P. & O. liner Malta, lying in the Royal Albert Docks, and soon spread to the neighbouring bunkers and to one of the holds. The firemen of the Port of London Authority at once got-1 to work with two lengths of hose from the dlocks, and very soon the, were assisted and two by steam and motor fire engines fire floats. After some hours it was de- cided to flood holds Nos. 3 and 4, and at 5.45 p.m. the fire was officially declared to be extinguished; water to the extent of over 20ft. had been poured into No. hold, which was considerably damaged.

As soon as the outbreak was discovered the bulk-load doors were shut by the crew, a work of some danger and diffi calty. Dense volumes of smoke poured up from amidships from the coal bunkers, while in No. 3 hold were consider able quantities of wood and paper, which

excellent fuel for the

fire. In the hold also were several barrels of light red dye, so that when the water had been pumped in it came running out of the scuppers in large Before quatities of a deep red colour. long the water in the dock was also red, and drifted out into the river in a strange coloured current. It was at one time thought that the liner would have to be sunk before the fire could be extinguished. The Mall, a vessel of 8,064 tons, built the in 1895, bad been to Antwerp to load a quantity of cargo, returned to the docke on May 9th, and was to have left for China and Japan on May 18th. It is sug- gested that the cause of the outbreak was spontaneous combustion.
