The following analysis of the hand Is given
by G.. w. p. in The Boston Herald: At trick
4 A sees that B has not KID, at trick that 8
Il BIS best suit, and at trick z that has no
moro spades b knows that d holds and
8, and passes X led that G may lead up to A,
for II b takes with I'm s, then plays K s,
then ace he may be obliged TO lead up to q
tenace, which, with diamond strength, will
insure the game to G d. d, Of course, places
8 H with A, for II d holds it the game can
not be saved. c trick q will not return the
diamond lead, for he may sacrifice D's gu.
If d can get In by the club lead, very we'll;
If not, d must be led up to by and by. But
the great play Of tho hand is that Of Des-
chapelles upon the eighth lead.
He saw that B, who led the spade, after
ward passed the king, and that if b was hold
ing strength against the and it would be
determined by his discard. A also saw that ace
was not with either c or ID. would have
led it or d would have played it to save the
game. BIS proper discard Of ace showed the
spade tenace. Here, then, was the chance to
get rid of the qu d by the discard on the ace
S, and the surety of the game by the club
lead that must follow. The play Of B at
trick 6 was in defiance Of great temptation.
As the cards happen to lie B might have
taken the trick, but b could not trust to q
happen He saw that the Q and the were
In DIS hand and that G had no more spaces.
B must pass this trick and let the lead be
thrown so that A must have last play. B
gave A the last trump, and he might also
have D, and at any rate a spade to lead
toB.
The taking Of the club with the 10, and
the splendid lead Of the last trump settled the
matter on the instant. 1t was evident that
A had the clubs, and not the diamond strength.
and it was also evident that A would at once
lead to the spade strength.
1t is not very strange that the Englishmen
went to Paris to witness such play as this.
They never saw anything like it at home,
and they went back, as Clay says, "forced to
recognize wide difference between their
system and our own" TON LANSING.

A little girl 5-year-old was sitting down be-
side her mother on a stool outside on a porch,
in San Diego, Cal, tho other day-and a
most beautiful day it was, too-with slate
and pencil in hand. She was trying TO draw
a house, but gave it up after good deal Of
rubbing and cleaning the slate. Finally,
after a short pause, the little girl concluded
TO draw the San Miguel mountains, whose
majestic peak rises east Of the city. She had
just completed part OF the outlines of the
mountains, and as she glanced up for another
look, saw high fog passing over the peak,
when she exclaimed: 10 mamma, mamma

Aquatic shoes.
Ed Hanlan, the oarsman, gained some
little notoriety few years ago by doing
what he called "walking on the water" al
though he was by no means the first man to
attempt It. Each foot was supported by
what was in reality nothing else than small
boat. These floats or "shoes," as he called
them, were fully six feet long, and as wide ns
the spread Of his legs allowed. For some time
no one else took hold Of the Idea. Finally,
during the summer OF 1883, Charles W. Old.
rieve, high wire performer at Ocean Beach,
decided TO see what he could do in the aquatic
pedestrianism line.
His first shoes were not much smaller than
Hanlan's, but he has been experimenting
constantly since and now uses a pair only
