BIDDING IN AUCTION BRIEGE.

QUESTIONS WHICH CONTINUALLY ARISE

AMONG NOVICES-WHAT THE SECOND

Anong bridge playes who are panting through their novitiate at auction, two quit op ara continually arising, "I it fht for the second bidder (who aits at the left of the dealer to saying spaces," the decler having sad (ne spide) or 'two to trumps," the dealer having rad, as to trump'?" Now these two situations are diametrically opposite and must be treated sp rately. In the fist pace, if the deal bas taid "one tpide," the inference is that he has not a hand that will support a oc- trump declaration, He has not a long black established suit.

If the dealer has confessed waikners nad second hani has a fair-support, the high cards must necessarily be divided between the dealer's partner and the fourth bdder. The dealer's putoor may, therefore, mako aied bid, in which case it will be of the utmost benefit to fourth band to know pɔively for what and for box much he can depend upon bis p.rine's band in combination with his wo
