Now, after South's correct bid of Monday, the 6th instant. four hearts, North's jump to six hearts is bad, because West has bid diamonds. North holds five of these diamonds; therefore, there is possibility that East may be out of diamonds.

The sounder bid would be slx no trump, but suppose North does bid East ruffs and returns six hearts. when East doubles knocking out dummy's ace. Now North should take the contract to the king of spades is cashed and six no trump.' -

He has been forced to discard down to the queen-jack of spades and the king-ten of dia- monds. Whichever he discards, a spade or a diamond, will cetablish that suit in the dummy.
Playing the hand in hearts is the best acore, on account of the hundred honours. Nevertheless, the hand should have been played at no trump.
