stood in the first rank, and the 

 influence of his writings has yet 

 to be fully estimated. His dialec- 

 tical skill was unrivalled ; but it 

 was often overwhelming rather 

 than convincing. His hymn. 

 Lead, Kindly Light, and his poem, 

 The Dream of Gerontius, have 

 achieved wide popularity. See 

 Oxford Movement.

Newmarch, WILLIAM (1820- 

 82). British statistician. Born Jan. 

 28, 1820, at Thirsk, he entered a 

 bank, and then an insurance office 

 in London. From 1862-81 he held a 

 high position in the banking house 

 of Glyn, Mills & Co. He died March 

 23, 1882. Newmarch did a great 



among the stops. This gives the 

 lead to the person who played 

 the last card before the stop. 

 Any player in the course of a 

 hand able to play a duplicate of 

 any card in the lay-out wins all 

 the stakes placed upon that par- 

 ticular card.

 of about 3,000 ft. The Rio Grande 

 flows N. to S., and cuts the state 

 into two unequal portions, and 

 further E. the Rio Pecos, an 

 affluent of the Grande, follows a

Newmarket OR STOPS. Card 

 game for three to eight players, 

 played with a full pack, and a lay- 

 out made up of four cards taken 

 from another pack. The dealer 

 and each of the other players must 

 stake an equal amount upon one, 

 or divide it among any of the four 

 cards of the lay-out. The cards are 

 dealt one at a time to each person, 

 and also to an extra hand, the 

 cards in which form "stops." The 

 eldest hand leads any card he 

 chooses, but it must be the lowest 

 he holds of any particular suit, and 

 he may continue to place other 

 cards upon it so long as he is able 

 to do so in sequence. When he 

 fails, the next player follows on if 

 possible, the play passing in turn 

 to each player until the run is 

 broken by the requisite card being
