THE

CONTRACT BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney

I presume you have often heard the remark made when a certain expert was being discussed That fellow can tell every card you hold after the second or third play." While that is not aways literally true, the better player does try to count a hand down.

When your partner makes a bid, try to picture the hand. During the play of the hand don't count only the trump-try to visualize the entire hand, keeping track of each suit. You will be surprised, after Just a little practice how easily this can be accomplished.

I thought the following hand pre- sented an interesting play due to the fact that the declaror was ablo to count the hand down,

The Bidding

South bid one heart. West made n negative double, showing strength in spades, North bid two dia monds-this is a strength-showing bid after a double. East passed, South bid two hearts. West pass ed and North went to four hearts. which East wisely did not double.

The Play.

At one table a club was opened by West. The declarer won with the queen and returned a diamond. West won with the ace and led a

small apade. This made it rather to make simple for the declarer his contract.

However, the interesting play came up at the table which opened the fourth best spade. Eust won with the ace and returned the ten of spades, which was won in dum- my with the king.

Declarer led the ace of clubs, followed by a small club from dum, my, and returned the six of dia- monds, which West won with the ace. West Immediatey cashed the queen of spades, East discarding a diamond.

This discard of a diamond should show that East is in a position to ruff diamonds, or that he has not- hing but diamonds and trump left. West returned the four of dia- monds, which was won in dummy and when East with the queen,

showed up with a diamond, the declarer could now read practically every card in the two hands.

The only chance the declarer now had to make his contract was to find West out of hearts, so the king of diamonds was led and the king of clubs discarded by the

Consignees of Cargo by the above Hongkong Water Police fleet at nanted steamer are hereby informed o'clock yesterday afternoon, when that their goods with the exception of a junk containing illicit oplum, Opium, Treasure and Valuables aro wine and tobacco and a large being landed and placed at their risk quantity of arms and ammunition in the Gotowns of the Hongkong Kowloon Wharf and Godown Co. Ltd., was solzed, and the master and 13 Kowloon, whence delivery can be of his crew were arrested.

Number Two launch was doing her usual patrol duty, near Tal-O, when a suspicious looking junk was sighted.

The police launch sped to inves- tigate and as it approached, the Junk's crow were observed to he throwing a quantity of the cargo overboard.

Dive Into Water, The launch had barely reached the junk when two of the water police sailors dived Into the water in an attempt to recover some of the abandoned goods. They suc- ceeded in bringing several jars of prepared opium to the surface.

Led by Crown Sergeant Butcher, the police immediately boarded the junk and made a thorough search.

They discovered several cannon, three old model German Mauser rifles, a musket, several hundred rounds of ammunition and a quan-

tity of dynamite,

Raw and prepared oplum, to- bacco and wine were also found) on board the junk.

In tow of the polles launch, the Junk was brought to Kowloon, arriving at 9 p.m. The arrested men were marched in a body to the Water Police Station.

Strange Procession.

A strange procession wended its way into the charge room. The master of the junk, accurely hand- cuffed came first, accompanied by a sergeant carrying a quantity_of} goods seized from the funk. Be- hind, in single filc, came 13 deeply bronzed, unkempt junk men.

Sergeant Butcher and some sailors carrying three rifles, a number of well-filled bandoliers į and several sticks of dynamite,: brought up the rear.

Police officials last night 'would give no information about the in- cident, but it was learned that a number of charges in respect of the opium, wine and tobacco were Inid. Further charges, it is under- stood, are pending.

The declarer over-ruffed and picked ap East's other trump.
