The Bidding
t
In this contract hand, South opened with one club, West over- called with one spade. Some! players will justify this overcall, but without a sure quick trick in the hand, it in a
better pass. After the South bid, North went to two No Trump, East passed, South bit three clubs and North went to three No Trump.
The Play.
The opening lead by East was the five of spades--the top of his partner's ait. Dummy played the eight. West the jack and North, the dummy, won the trick with the king. He then played) the ten of clubs, but refused to take the finesse, going up with the king and catching West's queen. Holding ace, king, jack, the finesor should not be taken on the first round, and with nine clubs in sight, no tinese should be taken,
A small club was returned from dummy. West discarding three of hearts, the declarer win- ning the trick with the nine of elabu. The four of clubs WLE then led to dummy's ace. WW discarding another heart. The three good clubs were led from dummy. West dropping a heart, a dinmoid and a spade, the declnrer discarding two diamonds and a heart. East played the eight and; four of hearts and then the three of diamonds. The nine of hearts was led from dummy, West disenrding the nine of diamonds, declarer winning, the trick with the ace.
The ten of hearts then played by declarer and won in the dummy with the king. West was forced to discard the six of spades in order to protect his diamonds.
nice
WAS
Due to West's overcall of one spade, he is practically marked, with the king of diamonds. This information now allows the de- clarer to make a play. He loads the ace of spades position from dummy and then the nine) of spades which West is forced to win with the queen. If he now leads the jack of diamonds, de- clarer will allow it to ride to the dummy's, queen and in thin man- ner get the last two tricks which will give him six odd at No Trump. As only three were bid, no slim bonus is scored.

Sir-In those comments casioned by the recently published report of the S.P.C., made upon Hongkong poverty, I did not notice, among the factors mention- ed as being responsible for the shocking state of affairs disclosed therein. two which, in my opinion, are of the very greatest Impor- tance I refer to the practice of contract sub-letting and ́of "aqueuze."

VALUABLE PICTURES
after
IN TOKYO
Tokyo, Dec. 20, Japan can now boast of two pictures of William II and William III by Vander Helst,
These art treasures were brought to light by a chance discovery, A few days ago the Dutch Minister, Heer J. C. Pabst, asked the Japan ese Government for permission to see Helst's pictures of Dutch Kings, which he said were presented to Japan, according to old documents. Investigation revealed that those pictures were stored in a ware- house of the military muscum in Tokyo.
History shows that William the Third presented those pictures to the Shogun, lyeyoshi Tokugawa, in 1844, when he proposed opening trade with Japan. The pictures are valued at half a million yen in Tokyo.-Reuter's Special.
