4. For each ace on which the deuce has been drawn, 4 points.
The cards are then mixed for a fresh start, and the pool again subscribed if run low.
Laws.—1. Each player to take but one card, and in turn; departure from this rule a fine of one to the pool.
2. If a deuce is drawn before the ace, it is to be replaced; if drawn after the ace, and replaced in mistake, it cannot be recovered, provided the ace was conspicuously displayed; the player so doing loses his turn and pays one to the pool.
3. A player turning a card other than that he draws pays one to the pool.
4. A player pairing with the last card drawn by the person on either side of him passes all his cards to that player and pays one to the pool. Should it so happen that he pairs with both, the one on the left has the preference.
5. It is not necessary that a player should have any cards in his possession to be paired with; the last card he drew, whether he has lost it or not, is the one to count.
6. Any dispute to be settled by pool-master.
7. Pool-master to be chosen for each game if desired. (H. E. Heather).
Dominoes.—A set of dominoes usually consists of 28 oblong cards, each consisting of 2 squares united; no 2 pieces are alike, they being distinguished by pips. It is important for the learner to bear in mind that there are 7 dominoes of each number, and that each number is joined to one of each of the others. The calculations of the game are founded on these facts.
