FUNERAL CEREMONY AT KENNEDY TOWN.

TRIBUTES TO THE LATE MR. TANG CHI NGONG

Mr.

The funeral of the late Tang Chi-ngoug, the well known Chinese financer and merchant, who died at his residence in Gough Street, Hongkong, last Tuesday, took place yesterday afternoon and was attended by a big gathering of relatives and friends at the "Farewell Pavilion," in Kennedy Town. The presence of over 1,000 persons showed the high esteem in which the deceased was being held by his many Chin ese and foreign friends.

These are the original bids of three of a sult, and show partner a long trump suit and a hand that only requires one trick from part-sent were the four sons of the de- ner to go game. In other words, the three bidder shows a hand containing not only a good suit, but side defensive strength and assures you that with an incurd in your hand, he will undoubtedly

He further

indicates go gome. that he has no destré to play the hand at no trump.

Partner's Response to Original Three of a Sult Bid

When partner makes an original three of a suit bid and your hand contains at least two small trump and a possible incard, take part- ner to four,

If you have a trick in your hand and are void in partner's suit or have a singleton and no good bid- dable suit of your own bid three no trump to advise partner that

you hold lega than two of Jils trump but do have the required trick. Partner may be able to show another suit or if one of the opponents now puta in a bid, he is warned of your trump situation. Holding an absolutely worth. less hand and not normal support in partner's suit, you may pass, but there are very few hands when

pass is the proper bid; e. g. you hold three small trump and a doubleton in another suit. Al- though you have no high cards in any of the other suits, undoubted- ly partner will be able to ruff the third card In the sult in which you hold a doubleton and thereby gain an entry to your hand. This

is sufficient to raise partner to four. Even in some cases, when holding a singleton in a side suit and two of partner's trump.

the bid of four can be made.

Original Bids of Three No Trump.

It is very seldom that you will hold a hand where your correct opening bid will bo three no trump. An original three 130 trump hid shows a hand with all four suits doubly stopped and ne good biddable four-card suit. Generally speaking, a hand this powerful can be opened with an original forcing suit bid of two.

It is far better to sinrt with the forcing two-suit bid. You are ns- sured of getting to at least. game-going declaration, and with a little help from partner. you will be able to arrive at a sim declaration, while with an origind Three no trump bid, partner very apt to pass, even though his hand contains one or one and one- half quick tricks.

ix

Remember that high original bids prevent partner from giving you intelligent information. Start the bids low whenever possible unless you have one of the above described hands, or a pre-emptive type hand which will be explained in our following article.
