DUMMY

61. As soon as the eldest hand has led, the dealer’s partner shall

place his cards face upward on the table, and the duty of playing the

cards from that hand shall devolve upon the dealer, unassisted by his

partner.

62. Before exposing his cards, the dealer’s partner has all the

rights of a player, but after his cards have been shown the dealer’s

partner takes no part whatever in the play, except that he has the

right--

_a_ To ask the dealer whether he has none of the suit

in which he may have renounced.

_b_ To ask the dealer when called upon to play his

highest or lowest card whether he has conformed to

the penalty.

_c_ To call the dealer’s attention to the fact that a

trick has not been completed.

_d_ To correct the claim of either adversary to a

penalty to which the latter is not entitled.

_e_ To call attention to the fact that a trick has been

erroneously taken by either side.

_f_ To participate in the discussion of any disputed

question of fact which may arise between the dealer

and either adversary.

_g_ To correct an erroneous score.

63. Should the dealer’s partner call attention to any other incident

of the play, in consequence of which any penalty might be exacted,

the fact of his so doing precludes the dealer exacting such penalty.

64. If the dealer’s partner, by touching a card or otherwise, suggest

the play of a card from dummy, either of the adversaries may, but

without consultation, call upon the dealer to play or not to play the

card suggested.

65. Dummy is not liable to the penalty for a revoke; and if he should

revoke and the error be not discovered until the trick is turned and

quitted, the trick stands good.

66. A card from the dealer’s hand is not played until actually

quitted; but should the dealer name or touch a card from the dummy

hand, such card is considered as played, unless the dealer in

touching the card or cards says, “I arrange,” or words to that effect.
