 Many have spent at least a part of the idle season in the study of "auc- ton" bridge. The theory has been advanced that bridge parties this win ter are to be all auction affairs, but | there Is reason to believe that the bridge of many past seasons is to hold its own. Mrs. s. L. Ledbetter, who Is | recognized authority on the new phase of the game, as well as the old points out that though many are learn ing the game and It's fascination Is recognized, It Is not yet In vogue for parties. However, as Mrs. Ledbetter and those who have studied the game deep ly prefer 1t to the old bridge" it may yet supplant the game which has been for so long first in favor among the members of the smart set. Atlantans who are always keehly in- terested In sports and who love a good horse for his own sake and love little better to see him win in con- test are much gratifed that the At lanta exhibitors at the horse show in Knoxville have won many blue ribbons. MT. Ottley, MT. Mccullough and MT. Thornton all have friends in Blrming- ham who will be interested in the triumphs of their beautiful animals. The Constitution of yesterday stated:
 Fine horses from many sections, keen competition In all classes and a bril- liant social side are the features char acterizing the Knoxville show.
