Best.
The
Ace
of
Diamonds
turned
up.
--------------------
Confederacy.
|
INTRIGUE;
OR
|
Matrimony.
King
and
Knave.|
QUEEN
AND
KNAVE.
|
King
and
Queen.
--------------------
Pairs.
The
Highest.
Matrimony
is
generally
played
with
counters,
and
the
dealer
puts
what
he
pleases
on
each
or
any
chance,
the
other
players
depositing
each
the
same
quantity,
less
one--that
is,
when
the
dealer
stakes
twelve,
the
rest
of
the
company
lay
down
eleven
each.
After
this,
two
cards
are
dealt
round
to
every
one,
beginning
on
the
left;
then
to
each
person
one
other
card,
which
is
turned
up,
and
he
who
so
happens
to
get
the
ace
of
diamonds
sweeps
all.
If
it
be
not
turned
up,
then
each
player
shows
his
hand;
and
any
of
them
having
matrimony,
intrigue,
&c.,
takes
the
counters
on
that
point;
and
when
two
or
more
people
happen
to
have
a
similar
combination,
the
oldest
hand
has
the
preference;
and,
should
any
chance
not
be
gained,
it
stands
over
to
the
next
deal.--Observe:
The
ace
of
diamonds
turned
up
takes
the
whole
pool,
but
when
in
hand
ranks
only
as
any
other
ace;
and
if
not
turned
up,
nor
any
ace
in
hand,
then
the
king,
or
next
superior
card,
wins
the
chance
styled
best.
