At contract. South would open with one club, West's hand is a Hittle too weak to overcall with one diamond and he should pans, North would bid one No Trump. East would bid Two hearts and South would go to three clubs,

The Play,

The play of the hand at auction was as follows: West opened the nine of hearts, the lap of his part- ner's suit. Declarer refused to take the finesse, winning in dam- my with the are and then leading the ten of clubs. Fast euvered with the king and the declareri won the trick with the new fle then Jest the queen of clubs, pick- ing up the outstanding trump

His next play was the jack of spades, West refused to pover, dummy played the seven and here is where East made his big mis- take he won the trick with the jace of spades. He should have stayed off until the second round of spades.

Easi led the ten of diamonds. the top of the suit bid by his part- Iner. Decturer won the trick with' the ace and then played three! straight clubs. West discarded the deuce and nine of diamonds and the Four of hearts, dummy fol- lowed with the seven of clubs and discarded the queen and five of Hearts. Bast discarded Lwo hearts anel spade. Declarer

then to the fourth club. West was forced to discard the queen of diamonds as he must protect the queen of spades. Dummy dis- feared the four of diamonds and

East the five of diamonds. DEM clarer then Jed the eight of spaces. West played the four and dummy the nine.

Declarer knew by now that West held the king of diamonds and one pade, and the queen therefore he led the jack of dia- monds from dummy, throwing West] in the lead and West was forced to lend a spaule through the dummy's tenace. The declarer made the last two spade tricks, thereby making five odd at clubs.

members of the Legislative Council requesting the Government to pro- serve the rider main system. Tho Association's letter expresses the Chinese residents' disappointment over the restriction of the water supply to rider main houses despite the substantial increase in the water storage in the reservoirs.

The Association opposes univer- sal meterage on the ground that an increased burden on the owners of property is not justified in view of the many empty houses in even the most densely populated parts of Hongkong. The introduction of universal moterage would indirect- [ly affect the occupants of tenement

houses, it is pleaded.
