7. If the dealer reshuffles the cards after they have been properly cut, or looks at the bottom card, he loses his deal. 8. After the cards have been cut, the dealer must distribute them one at a time to each player in rotation, beginning at his left, and continuing until the pack is exhausted; or in Two-Handed Hearts, until each player has thirteen. 9. The deal passes to the left. 10. There must be a new deal by the same dealer if the pack is proved to be incorrect, either during the deal or during the play of a hand; or if any card is faced in the pack, or is found to be so marked or mutilated that it can be named. In the last case a new pack must be used. 11.
Can I get there o candle-light? There and back again. Here s my black [raising one foot], And here s my blue [raising the other], Open the gates and let me through. --Annaverna, Ravendale, co. Louth, Ireland (Miss R. Stephen). VI. How many miles to Barney Bridge? Three score and ten. Will I be there by candle-light? Yes, if your legs are long. A curtsey to you, another to you, If you please will you let the king s horses go through? Yes, but take care of your hindmost man. --Belfast (W.
Imagine that these piles represent respectively the A 2 3 4 5 in the first row; the 6 7 8 9 10 in the second, and the J Q K in the third. Take the top card from the ace pile, turn it face upward, and place it, still face upward, under the pile to which it belongs. If it is a Jack, for instance, it will go face up under the first pile in the third row. Then take the top card from the second pile, and so on, keeping the left hand as a marker on the pile last drawn from. When you come to a pile which is complete, all the cards being face up, you can skip it, and go on to the next. If at the end you find that the last card to be turned up lies on its proper pile, and needs turning over only, you win; but if you have to remove it to another pile, you lose. _=TRY AGAIN.=_ Shuffle and cut the pack, and deal the cards face upward into four heaps. You are not obliged to deal to each pile in succession, but may place the cards on any of the four piles, according to your judgment or pleasure. In dealing out in this manner it is not good policy to cover one card with a higher, unless you are compelled to do so.
If you don t come now they ll all be gone. What s in my way? A bottle of hay. Am I over it? --Shrewsbury (Burne s _Shropshire Folk-lore_, p. 525). II. How many fingers do I hold up? Four, three, &c. [at random in reply]. How many horses has your father? Three [fixed reply]. What colour? White, red, and grey. Turn you about three times; Catch whom you may! --Deptford (Miss Chase).
=_ As A’s hand can now be counted to contain either the 7 4 3 of clubs and four dangerous hearts, or the 4 3 of clubs and five hearts, B’s game is clearly to lead diamonds, in order to load Y and Z. His only dangerous card, the ♡ J, will go on the next round of spades, which must be led again in the next two or three tricks. _=No. 3.=_ Howell’s Settling. | T | _=No. 4.=_ Auction Hearts.

As the last figure, but the checks are taken up two at a throw. 3. As the last, but at the first throw one check, called the Horse, is taken up, and at the second the remaining three checks at once, called the Cart. 4. As before, but all the checks taken up together. 5. Called Ups and Downs. The checks are taken up at one throw, and set down outside the ring at the next. This is done first with one, then with two, and so on. 6.
