" get eleven t1cks.
Trick /. According to common-sense prin-
ciples, A should open such a hand as this with
a supporting card. There is no hope for his
nor trumps. 1t is a fundamental principle in
the sense game that q suit is not
worth playing for In which you are not willing
to take a tinesse which will leave you In control
OF 1t for. the third round. This IL certainly, not
true OF AS suit. for 1t would be foolish for him
either to begin with o small card or to lnesse
the return. Long suffers do not stop to look 80
far ahead as the third round. but usually go
right ahead. and trust to luck to bring their
Trick 4. This is another example Of the
Canadian fashion Of leading the queen Of
trumps at the head of three, which was re-
marked last week. rs trulnp lead is prac-
tically forced upon him He holds the second
and third best spades. guarded; major .tenace
in CLUBS. and the king OF what must be US suit
II Y has anything. 49,,
Trick 5. BIS return OF the trump is a fatal
error. for which his system is entirelyt to blame.
He has had no warning from his partner oil the
weakness Of AS hand. and seems carried away
by the fact that A has O great spade suit. to
protect which b holds the second-best club and
good trumps to two honors. Had A been q
common-sense player. his opening lead would
have warned b not to take any such chances. as
the spade suit could not be made;
Long suffers are SLOWLY beginning to realize
the Importance OF these cards OF warning. The
pernicfous and misleading idea OF the common:
sense game that It was all a play for a run had
it's origin in the ignorance OF certain poetical
writer's who made a business, Of misrepre-
senting everything that required brains, to un-
must make at least three more tricks. and In
the play given. they can make four moro II Is
will lead a club at trick 3, as will be seen from
the following line OF play:
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1898-09-18
Alb get ten tricks.

A-b get ten trlckS.
Trick 2. z may possibly save a trick IL he
opens the spades. but no more. 1t seems bet
ter to lead through what he supposes to be tho
strong suit in AS hand than to open a new one
on speculation. That A should pass this trick
may seem surprising to some persons. but
what Is he to do? He knows that II it takes the
ace to beat the nine his partner must have
something pretty strong In clubs and A cannot
lose much by letting the suit go up to b once.
II A trumps in. what is he to lead? He led a
singleton In the first place. In order to avoid
leading from either OF the other suits. and II he
trumps himself in now he places himself In the
very difficulty from which he has Just escaped.
Trick 3. To lend up to AS discard seems to
be the best continuation for y, as it would be-
foolish TO lead trumps from three. with the
whole club suit declared against him. Observe
how careful B is to protect himself in the suit
in which his partner has warned him by his
discard that he Is weak.
Trick 4. With the club suit established. re-
entry in diamonds. and his partner marked
with strength in spades or trumps. b must
lead the trump. puts on the king apparently
because II was turned up, and he thinks B is
probably leading through 1t to catch 1t. The
play is u%nsound. however, and loses tricks.
because 1t makes it possible for ABB to ex-
haust the trumps- before b loses his re-
entry card. Even II Y wins this trick. A fines
sing the Jack. and Y shifts to spades. A will
have to be clever enough to return the spade
Instead OF continuing the trump and that will
not PREVENT the. king and queen OF trumps from
making separately. .

This extremely curious meeting proved an
other triumph for this very good and sound

centages it has won out with a small capital.

increased by a losing bet on the same horse to
win. Aug. %. Central Trust for the place won

SPANISH PROVERBS.

1t is interesting to note the English
equivalents for Spanish proverbs. When
we say, He is not worth his salt" they
say, "He is not worth his ears full Of
water" essentially the proverb Of =
thirsty nation.
When we say, "You want the EARTH
theiriequivslent is, THAT is to expect
the wolf to leave meat at your door,"
"One mans meat is another mans
poison is rendered in Spanish, "What
cured Sancho made Martha sick"
"Out of the frying pan into the fire"
with them is, Escaping the bull, he
fell into the brook"
Their way of saying, "By hook or
by crook" is ut must c,me out Of the
sleeve or the shirt"
When We are i'll we allude to our
condition in the words "As sick as q
dog" where the Spaniards say, "As
sick as Jew on Saturday" proverb
used in the day when the Hebrew had
to feign illness to avoid the transaction
OF business on his Sabbath.
