This ,we believe was . one hundred
per cent effective in the last five
nights. The first night's draw. was'
worked out on, a different basis
from the remaining five and result-
ed in a few exceptions., :
Players' for the first night were
decided by means of a draw; the
remaining five nights by a system
of rotation: Neither system', would
assure that at each table there
would be two. men and two ladies.
Numerical differences which •exist
ed would .make this impossible un-
