The Bidding. Most players will open South's hand with one club, but the writer has long advocated the bidding of four-card its ahead of five-card suits and as both the North and South hand contain a four and a five, the writer will give the bid- ding according to his system.

717

South bid one heart, West pass- ed, North bid one spade-this in a one over one and, as advocated by the writer, requires the partner to rebid, although it makes promise for game. East passed, The and South bid three clubs. bid of three clubs informs part- ner that there is a possible game in the hand even though partner's hand conlaine only one and one- half tricks. North responds with three diamonds. If South now held five hearts and Ave clubs he would re-bid his hearts, while if he held two spades and two diamonds he would go to no trump, but holding) three diamonds and a singleton] spade, he bids four diamonds.

This gives North a pretty secu- rate rending on his hand-five clubs, four henris and three dia- monds. With this informaton, North surrenders his desire to play the hand at no trump and bids six diamonds.

The Play.

East has the opening lead and plays the desce of clubs. The trick Is won in dummy with the ace, West playing the three, and declurer the five. With North, the declarer, holding two doubletons and the dummy a singleton, it is more than likely that one hand holds a singleton diamond. The declarer plays the five of diamonda from dummy, west plays the nine and North, the ace.

The nine played by West waras the declaror that East may hold four diamonds to the queen ten, so a small diamond is led by declarer, and when East plays the eight, South, the dummy, wins the trick with the fuck, West discarding the Apades eight of hearts. The ten of

is returned from dummy, North, the declarer, winning with the ace.. The eight of spades is ruffed in dia- with the seven of dummy monda.

The king of clubs is led from dummy and then a small clab, which the declarer trumps with the three of diamonds. Declarer leads the king of diamonds, discarding u amall heart from dummy. He then leads the king of spades, and East makes a good play in discarding the jack of clubs. The nine of hearts is discarded from dummy, but it is easy for the declarer to read East's hand which containe nothing but the queen of diamonds And three hearts, so the six diamonds is led by the declarer which East is forced to win with the queen, dammy discarding the queen of hearts.

of

East-must now lead a heart which is won by dummy with the ace and the clubs are good in dum- my. Declarer has bid and made a small slom at diamonds.

NIGHT FLYING

DEMONSTRATION GIVEN AT KAI TAK AERODROME Unique in the history of aviation in Hongkong, a demonstration of the perfect safety of night flying in this Colony was given at Kai Tak aerodrome last night by offl cials of the Far Eastern Aviation Company.

It was not decided untli yester- day morning to make the demon- stration, and arrangements for lighting the field at the aerodrome were of a temporary naturo. Five barrels of old felt, soaked in petrol, were used to provide flarea for guiding the airmen when landing and taking off.

Promptly at 9 p.m., Mr. Vaughan Fowler, Managing Director of the Company, took off on a solo flight, and disappeared Into the darkness. Mr. Fowler made two perfect fights before handing over the con- trola to Mr. A. D. Bennett, test pilot of the Company, who, on his Initial flight, took up his wife.

On the fifth and Inst fight of the evening, Mr. Fowler resumed control and took up as passenger, Mr. C. D. Lambert, of the Kowloon Canton Railway Department,

"It was perfectly wonderful,” Baid Mrs. Rennett, describing her "Up in the first night flight.

Not Too Risky.

Mr. Vaughan Fowler, in an in- terview, at the conclusion of the said that the demonstration. flights were made primarly to show that they could be done in Hongkong. For some time people had hinted that the hills behind the aerodrome made night flying too risky in Hongkong, and early yesterday morning, it was decided to make the demonstration.

"As a matter of fact, I could have landed to-night without the assistance of the flares," Mr. Fowler said. "The aerodrome in ideal for night flying. There was

ΤΟ

real organisation for this demonstration to-night, and I had no lights on the 'plane except n torch in the cockpit. Incidental. ly, I lost that after the first flight, And had no light ut ait.

"Commercial aviation, of course would need much better facilities it than we had to-night, and would be necessary to provide one or two obstruction lights on the surrounding hills. The cost of equipping Kal Tak for commercial night flying would be influftesimal for the surface of the nerodrome itself is ideal. With proper facilities, night flying in Hong- kong would be no more risky for a strange pilot thun daytime fly.

1 feel surc,"

concluded Mr.

Fowler, "that night flying would be the solution of successful com mercial avlation in the Far East. A letter, for instance, posted after p.m. in Shanghai, could be de livered at 9 am. next day Hongkong,, and, similarly, enorm- ous savings of time could be made on the air route from the Far Last to Europe."
