The Bidding.

Mr. H. A. Taylor prosecuted for the Superintendent of Importa, and Exporta, and stated that he searched the defendant's pre- maleen on May 29 and found the apparatus in question and also sul- phuric acid and tins of methylat- fed spirits. The whole apparatus when connected could be used for distilling commercial spirit intoj concentrated spirit.

For the defence, Mr. Peter Sinj plended, in mitigation, that his client was a chemical enthusiast; he would spend his spare moments | in reading books and literature appertaining to chemical

West bid two diamonds, a very light view of the case, A North and Enst passed and South went to two spades, West bid three diamonds and the bidding How was entirely between Went and South. South frict three spades, West five diamonds. South now bid for a sacrifice going to five spades, West bid six dia- monds, and North, with four trump, realizes that if South could sacrifice go to five spades the must be worth while and bids six spades, which East doubles.

The Piny.

East and West could ennily make aix diamonds. Playing the hand at spades, West opened the king of dinmonda and when South's queen fell, he shifted to the his partner's sait and led deuce of clubs which East won with the ace. The ten of clubs was returned by East and when South played the king. West dis carded a diamond. This marked West out of trump.

Declarer led the queen of clubs and then the five of clubs, trump- ing in the dummy with the deure of spades. The ten of spaden was then led from dummy. If East re- fused to cover, the declarer allowa It to ride through. He can then pick up East's spades and all he has to lose in the king of hearts, thereby going down only two tricks at a contract of six doubl ed. As North and South held 40 honors, the declarer is minus 160, which is a very good score when you consider that East and West erid make a plus score of 237.
