PORTLAND CLUB APPEAL
The Portland Clüb-the legisla- tive body for British bridge has sent the following appeal to the leading card-playing clubs and other bodies:
It is proposed shortly. to revise. the International Contract Bridge Laws.
When this revision takes place a matter of fundamental impor- tance will have to be decided- namely, whether or not '"'card- showing" bids shall be allowed. By a "card-showing" bid is ineant. a bid which, by reason of a pre- arranged meaning being given to it, indicates a nameable card or narneable cards in the hand of the bidder. 4.
"Under the present laws, accord- Ing-to the interpretation adopted by the Porland Club and the Com- mission Francaise du Bridge, such bids are legal, but are legal ac-- cording to the interpretation adopted by the New York: Whist

No. 16 was built by Kent in 1780, and was at various times in the possession of the Dukes of Rutland and of the North family.
For many years, it was occupied by Baroness North, the grand- daughter of George II's Prime Minister, and was sold by her son, the eleventh baron, who died two years ago at the age of 98, to the Duke of Rutland in 1896. «
There are now two Lord Norths, the 12th baron and the eldest son of the Earl of Guildford. The barony descended through Lady North, but the Earidom passed to a cousin.
Thus it was old Lord North's experience when approaching the age of 90 frequently to be invited to debutantes' dances by perfect strangers.

The Bishop of Kensington confirmed seventeen candidates, among them being eight of the Savoy choir boys. The service was arranged as several members of the congregation who lived in ather parishes expressed a desire to be confirmed in the Chapel.
