South passed. comfortable in the thought
that his declaration, made on the second
round Of bidding. would act as a warning
and not lead to oversupport. North, how
ever, on the strength Of his club suit
stretched n point in supporting bids and
declared two hearts. The knowledge Of
his partners cautiousness in bidding on
the initial round probably influenced
North's action, where otherwise he might
have hesitated.
Increasing a partners declaration on
such premises is however. a dangerous
proceeding and one hardly to be recon-
mended.

HIS MINGLED INTERESTS.

Mr. Kahn is well known as one OF the
ablest financiers in America. He is also
true lover OF music and the drama and
literature. How great lover is expressed
mot only by his financial aid, but in the
personal interest he has taken in the in
situations with which he has been con-
1ected A few weeks ago he gave to the
new Century opera Company. which is
soon to give opera at popular prices for
the people, a check for $4,000. and at a
dinner to the founders of the company
given at the City Club he set forth his
ideas in the speech that is here given. Mr.
Kahn's words express as clearly as may
well be his faith in artistic effort, and set
forth a lesson that may well be taken TO
heart by the younger men in the business
world of to-day. This was his speech:
The other day l was asked whether the
initials 20. H in my name stood for
opera house" Now, | cannot give credit
70 my parents for having foreseen that
! should one day be connected with an
opera company some three thousand
miles away from the place of my birth,
but / do give them credit, and / give
them thanks for having stimulated in
me from my early youth a serious inter-
and revere art and for having enjoined
on me never to let II go out of my life
wherever and however l might find my
self.

can be given TO any one on his way

WHOSE FAULT WAS lT7

The question whether North or South
was responsible for the loss Of game
formed the topic Of discussion at the con-
cluSion Of the hand.
While North's action. based on the sup
position that his partners purpose In
throwing the lead was to profit by a
heart lead through East, was generally
regarded as erroneous. many OF those
interested when the hand was later COM
mented upon as one deserving OF special
attention laid the blame primarily upon
South.
Their contention was that South could
and should have prevented North from
falling into the natural error. BY leading
the king Of clubs. instead OF the deuce.
South could have made the situation
clear TO his partner. and thus guided him
10 correct play. There is considerable
merit in this argument which is accent
uated by the presence OF a card OF con-
siderable importance In the club suit in
dummy. The ten of clubs in dummys
hand would have been an efficient aid TO
twice guarded queen in East's hand
and would have helped that card to make
If a low club had been led by South and
not properly followed up by North
North, however, having the jack but not
the queen, and correctly playing his
honor. would nulllfy East's protection in
the suit. AS all conditions had to be
favorable in order to profit by low club
lead, the king of clubs. offering greater
promise, should have been led.

Otto H. Kahn Gives Reasons
forHolding Popular Opera
Venture Beneficial to
Community.

In this land where government both
national and municipal, has steadfastly
held true 10 the Anglo-Saxon faith Of
considering artistic effort entirely the
province of the individual. the sympathy
and generosity of the wealthy patron are
indeed needed for the cultivation OF art
md letters. A distinguished critic Mt
James Huneker not long age made the
assertion that Demos has never been
patron Of the arts, and great as may De
his belief in the virtues Of democracy, the
observer Of Musical and artistic condl-
tons throughout the world cannot help
but become convinced of the justice OF
this verdict. II may be unpleasant TO face
this fact. it may he woundins to our
faith of the great heart of humanity as
p.ring ever to what is best and no0leSt
and most beautiful in art and letters, but
il is none the less a fact that or It's
truth bears only too strong conviction.
Where. indeed, would be our great col
lections of art if il had not been for the
splendid gifts of such men as the late
NJ. Morgan. or our symphonic music
without the initiative. guidance and sup
port Of music lovers. such as Major
Higginson? And where should we look
for an institution such as the Metropoii-
tan Opera Company if it were not for the
interest and financial aid Of a few
wealthy individuals. Oscar Hammer
stein tried indeed to answer this ques-
ton, and tried courageously and artis-
tically. The result we know. He is to
try again. but the odds against him no
one knows better than himself
The Metropolitan opera Company has
in any quarters been looked upon as
a. thing of New York society, but
tn, cities seem blind to the fact that
without the guiding spirit of some one
whose ideals were other than mere social
ones, such an institution would soon fall
into something worthy of little praise.
Yet the Metropolitan opera House stands
to-day artistically without peer, and no
one has labored harder or more effec-
lively to reach and retain this result than

-ectors. Otto II. Kahn.
