Declarer re- turned the five of clubs and when West played the jack, the trick was won in the dummy with the king. The ten of clubs was returned from dummy, East discording a heart, declarer trumping with the five of spades. South then led the four of hearts and when West covered with the ace, dummy trumped with the jack of spades. The small diamond was returned from dummy, East discarding the ten of hearts, de- clarer trumping with the nine of spades and West following with the queen of diamonds. The declarer's next play was the queen of hearts, and West who holds nothing but the king, ten and seven of spades, is forced to trump with the seven of spades. He must now lead into the declarer's ace queen of trump. By carefully cross-ruffing tho hand and then using an end play to throw West in the lead, the de- clarer has made his contract of six spades doubled. While the bidding was most peculiar, the play was par excellence.
