This very question OF re-entry also en-
tered Vests calculations at the second
spade trick. Without any top cards. he
realized that his only chance OF success

COMPELLING A BLOCK.
The same question was raised in the
following hand that resulted favorably in
blocking the adverse suit by correctly
reading the probable holdings of oppo-
nents. based upon the bid and lead-a
common situation. badly handled in scores
of cases by lack OF little sound sense

= Many auction players Justify their bids
play based upon known information and
probabilities for combining the partners
hands for the greatest offence or de-

suit as a justification. A poor play will
sometimes succeed that is dangerous and
unnecessary and unwarranted by the

THE SCIENCE OF AUCTION.

science of auction-the obtaining Of the
maximum results on the partnership

many speculative players, who hurry

mites for games by good bidding and
play utterly escape their attention. Such
players are the constant advocates OF
new bids or some wonderful nullo feat

change will favor their style of play.
Z. Answering a correspondent who asks
what our position would be in view OF
our opposition TO nullo bids should they
become generally used in auction. we

that a nations popular dances have much

with life and rhythm, two Of the prime
necessities of music. In fact. whatever
may be said as to the morality Of the

serves praise rather than censure. At

HIS BELIEFS.

2 81 consider q effort that is now being
made TO produce opera in English the
evidence of truly national awakening.
The English speaking nations are the
only ones that do not insist upon opera
in the vernacular, and the consequence
has been that they have produced no
operate composers. Why the small Eu-
ropean countries-my own Hungary, Den
mark. Sweden, the Balkan States-dll
have their national opera. Why should
not America?
Il hope that the Century Opera Com
pany is to become the founder OF a ma
tional American opera. Almost every
member Of the company is an American.
Though the first season does not an
r nounce il, we hope that we shall be able
10 discover American composers. l should
consider this my greatest triumph. Mean
while, my heart and soul are in my task
of offering to the people in their own Ian
guage the best in classic and modern op-
cratic music at popular prices. Can there
be worthier aim? | sincerely hope and
trust that the peoples opera will soon
prove absolutely indispensable to the city,
and l am entering this field OF activity
with unbounded optimism
