It becomes my duty and very great preasure to acknowledge, on behalf of the American Whist League, the great compliment paid the League in having dedicated to it your splendid work. I take your kindly act as recognition of the success of the League in purifying and popularizing, as a means of education and as an intel lectual pastime, the noblest of indoor games. Having developed, since the organiza tion of the League, from a mere game into a science, it is to be hoped that Whist, as it is a great discipliner of minds as well as a true test of mental ski11, 'may soon be universally recognized as the most popular American game. As an instrument to this end I am sure your work will be welcome?! By every lover of Whist.
