There is something in his conten tion, but there are guments on both sides; and sinds the subjects on which bridge players are divided, an account of the arguments may not be out of place.

The total abolition of simple honours would tend to make the game flat: it would remove an element of chance, and give in- creased weight to the more bidding aad play of the cards: Now it is the essence of all card games that the element of skill should he enveloped in an atmosphere of chance. It is the incalculable element that appeals to the gam bling instincts of humanity, and makes the charm of cards,

Furthermore, the final addition is much easier. For the unit column of figures above the line all end in 0; there is one fewer column of figures to add up; the score is more often agreed; and the labour of adding it up a second time, to make it square with someone else's score, is correspondingly diminished.
