ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Crib asks —In playing cribbage is it right to take 2 or 3 when 15 is made with the last card. Answer —You take 2 only. Wager 11. writes—Would you kindly decide this wager: At our meeting just passed I backed a double, viz., Day Star and Miss Nelson. Do I not get half of the amount. My reasons for thinking so are that the totalisator paid out, so did the bookies, on both Kingswood and Miss Nelson. Therefore, I think I am entitled to half my double. Answer —The backer of the double (Day Star and Miss kelson) must pay, because Kingswood was the absolute winner of the Steeplechase.
