The Bidding.

South passed. Mr. Haddad in the West opened the bidding with two diamonds. North passed and East hid three no trump.

Due to his honour holding, Mr. Haddad decided that it would be best to try for a stare at diamonds and bid six'diamonds.

The Play.

North elected to open the double- ton upade. The arst trick was won by Mr. Haddad, the declarer, with the ace. He led his ace of din- monds, following with a small cinb to dummy's king.

The nine of diamonds was re- turned and when South played the queen, Mr. Haddad won with the king. He cashed two more rounds of diamonds, picking up North's trump and discarding two hearts from dummy. South discarded a spade and a heart.

Mr. Haddag then led the ace of clabs, following with a smill apado. which was won in dummy with the quees. He returned the queen of clubs from dummy, dis- carding a heart from his own hand.

Mr. Haddad now applles squeeze card, leading the deuce of diamonds, and you can see North's predicament. He holds the king- and ten of hearts and the nine of clubs. If he drops u heart, Mr. Haddad will discard a club from dummy, while if he discards a club. dummy's four of clubs will be good.

The play gave Mr. Haddad seven An odd at diamonds with 100 honours.
