The Bidding.

|301|

Most players will open South's hand with one club, but the writer has long advocated the bidding of four-eard Ruits ahead of five-card. suits and an both the North and South hand contain a four and ive, the writer will give the bid- diag according to his system..

110

South bid one heart, West pass- ed, North bid onespade-this is a one over one and, as advocated by the writer, requires the partner to rebld, although it makes promise for game. East passed, and South bid three clubn." The bid of three clubs informs part- ner that there is a possible game in the hand even though partner's Thand contains only one and one- half tricks. North responds with three diamonds.. If South now held five hearts and five clubs he would re-bid hia 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 bida, four diamonds.

This gives North a pretty accu rate reading on his hand-five i clubs, four hearts and three dia- mende. With this informaion, North surrenders his desire to play the hand at no trump and bids six dinmonda.

The Play.

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

The nine played by West warns the declarer that East may hold four diamonds to the queen ten, so a small diamond is led by declarer, und when Enst plays the eight, South, the dummy, wins the trick with the jack, West discarding the eight of hearts. The ten of spades is returned from dummy, North, the declarer, winning with the neo, The eight of spades is ruffed in dummy with the seven of dia- monds.

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

East must now lead a heart which is wan by dummy with the nee and the clubs are good in 'dum-

NIGHT FLYING

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

It was not décided until yester day morning to make the demon- stration, and arrangements for lighting the field at the aerodrome were of a temporary nature. Five barrels of old felt, soaked in petrol, were used to provide flares 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 mide two perfect flights before handing over the con- trols to Mr. A. D. Bennett, teat pilot of the Company, who, on hia Initial flight, took up his wife.

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

"It was perfectly wonderful," sald Mrs. Bennett, describing her first night fight. "Up in the nir I could pick out every- thing

the on

I've Kround. often been up in the daylight, but night flying gives an added thrill."

Not Too Risky.

Mr. Vaughan Fowler, in an in- terview at the conclusion of the demonstration, said that tho flights were made primarly to Bhow that they could be done in Hongkong. For some time people had hinted that the hills behind the aerodrome made night lying 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 darcs," Mr. Fowler said. "The aerodrome is ideal for night flying. There was

real

organisation for this demonstration to-night, and I had no lights on the pane except a torch in the cockpit. Incidental- ly, I lost that after the first flight, and had no light a 41.

"Commercial aviation, of course would need muco, Docter facilities than we had to-night, and it would be necessary to provide 'one or two obstruction lights on the

coat surrounding hills. The

of equipping Kai Tak for commercial night dying would be infinitesimal for the aurice the aerodrome. itself is ideal With proper facilities, night flying in Hong- kong would be no more risky for a strange pilot than daytime y- ing

I feel sure," concluded Mr. Fowler, "that night flying would be the solution of successful com- mercial aviation in the Far East. A letter, for instance, posted after 6 p.m. in Shanghai, could be de- livered at 9 a.m. next day Hongkong, and, similarly, enorm- bus savings of tiine could be mado on the air route from the Far Last to Europe.”
