In this tournament, practically no other system than the one over one in its entirely was used. It is true that other systems employ the one bid from which this By tem gota its name, but experienced tournament players realize the many advantages this system has

to offer.

The bride, who was given away by Mr. G. Duncan, looked charming in a dress of blus georgette, with a blue picture hat to match. She carried a bouquet of white lilies. Her bridesmaid was Misa Bery! Hook, who was dressed in white and pink organdio, with a white picture hat, and carried a bouquet of pink gladioli. Mrs A. Duncan was the matron of honour, and Mr. R. B. Bell performed the duties of best-man.

The service was a choral one, with Mrs. Briggs at the organ.

The Play.

The opening lead in every case was the four of hearts, which was won by South, the declarer, with the ace. He immediately led the ten of clubs and hore is where the Interesting point came in.

If East wins the first club trick with the king, there is no possible way of stopping the declarer from making six odd. Some players made the mistake of taking the king of clubs..

Following the wedding, a recep- tion was held at the Hongkong Hotel, and the newly-married couple left afterwards for Repulse
