| North and South take but four tricks.
Trick 1.-North opens his five card club
suit to the ace, leading fourth high. His
only re-entry IS the ace of his own suit
The opening was sound. South wins with
the king, East playing jack second hand
from queen, jack and one small
Trick 2.-Holding six trumps, headed by
king, queen and a good diamond suit,
South leads the queen of trumps through
the turned jack. Ace holds the trick sec
ond hand. North renounces.
Trick 3.-West plays well here He leads
a club through North. He reads partner
with queen guarded, and wants North to
lead up to his guarded king Of diamonds
or major tenace in hearts.

and leads partner his best diamond, clear
ing the suit. His own heart holding

proved fatal.

Maryland has the smallest wheat crop
this year in her history, while the worlds
is the largest, still the price is satisfactory.
The Democratic State Central Committee
has named ElktOn as the place and Sep

With one or two exceptions all of the fruit
carried to the town has been purchased by
Messrs. TOnkin & Ahern, local buyers, at
prices ranging from forty to fifty cents.
To defeat Senator German does not mean
to vanquish him from politics in Maryland
or from the Democratic party. This fact
was clearly III evidence at the Democratic
State Central Committee meeting in Balti-
more last week. Murray Vandiver, chair
man of the committee, presided to all ap-
