restricted. to two pairs q week only. IL would
make such long waits for the clubs to reach

as great an attraction as the main event. e-
pecially as tho same hands would be played at

quire the winner OF the trophy to get two
matches in succession, either as holders or as
challenRers.
Tho question of scoring pairs in compass
