Captain Sheinwold in Card Table Scandal and Triumph
In a November 1887 game, Captain Montmorency Sheinwold defeats a bet against an Adjutant in a heart led contract, discarding a heart under pressure to make four spades unlikely. The tale, laced with humor, ends noting the author’s transfer and a publisher’s prank by Rudyard MacIntosh. The column also features a sample bridge hand and an offer to buy a pocket guide to bridge.

Hartford Times Folds After 159 Years in Hartford
The Hartford Times, founded in 1817 and once Connecticut’s largest paper, ceased publication after 159 years. The Register Publishing Co. announced the closing amid long-term financial losses and declining circulation, with staff informed at a morning meeting. The Times had recently tried a Morning Line edition and was sold by Gannett in 1973.
