ANSWER TO QUERY.

The query hand OF October 26 happened
TO be along the lines Of this subject. and
has brought forth the fact that our read
ers are interested in problems Of bidding
at auction and also that there are among
them players who can use their power OF
deduction to good effect
The full hand OF which Easts holding
was the basis OF query was as follows:

South declared one no trump. West and
North passed.
East declared two clubs to direct his
partners lead at the adverse no trump
declaration South. on the strength OF his
top card in the opponents suit, made II
two no trumps. With the adverse suit
stopped only once and a hand otherwise
not very strong, South should have
passed, leaving his partner free TO decide
whether the opponents should be over

THE PlAY-OFF.

His four of clubs went to South's ace,
dummy playing the jack and East the
king. South led a low spade and West put
his ace up second hand. The clubs were
cleared when dummy's Jack fell on the
third round OF the suit, although from
South's position ii could be seen that
there was no necessity for holding OF the
second lead as two cards were obviously
all West could have had.
South now ran of his diamonds and
then led another spade to clear the suit.
This put East in with the king and en-
abled him TO run off his three remaining
clubs final trick was afterward made
with Vests ace OF hearts.
Four club tricks and three top cards In
the major suits gave East and West seven
tricks, Getting their opponents two tricks
on the contract.
This was due TO Vests foresight in
building up his partners hand. In

ACTUAL PLAY.
We were asked 10 settle the argument
upon East's proper action. and decided
that while the question was one largely
depending on the sound bidding by the
respective players, we had 10 assume such
to be the fact and that Easts best bid
under all conditions was TO increase his
partners diamond declaration.
However, the argument put up by East
in defence OF his action on the hand is
very strong and indicates that he does not
miss many points in play.
In the actual play East went 20 three no
trump at the query point.
South doubled and the hand was played
at that contract
East and West failed on the contract
by one trick. giving the opponents 100 in
overtime bonus.
Our chief criticism of the hand, which
was not part OF the question submitted,
is that after South had doubled. IL made
the no-trump declaration questionable and
that East should then have switched to
FIVE diamonds as a sure and safe course.

An expert auction player OF long expe-
rience. after an evenings play at promi-
nent club recently, discussing the difficult
problems of the game. stated that the
"near-good" players stumbled on the CO.
ordination Of the weaker suits in both
original and overcalling BIDS.
This fact arises from the lack Of proper
consideration OF the relative values Of the
could learn 10 determine quickly what
each declarer must probably hold to war
rant his bid and thus place the various
holdings with relation TO ones own hand
the proper action would be almost a GER
tainty.
AS Mr. Grant Scott says. Il don't see
how a man who plays much can make a
bad bid"
The fact remains that all players get
in wrong" at times. and that is what
gives the game its varying and intense
interest.
BLUNDERED ON TWO SUITS.
We had the pleasure OF watching a
Duplicate prize auction contest last week.
and the majority Of gains or losses were
attributable to failure in proper action on
diamonds and clubs and the lack OF the
adjusting Of those suits TO the greatest
point interest Of the partnership.
Few players apply reasonable deduction
based upon the premise OF known deciaFa-
lions. Most Of them look at a few Sood
fhonors or a long. weak suit and clutch
the pellet. later finding they have s"al-
lowed salt instead Of sugar.
The following hand. taken from actual
play. illustrates the point:

Belle Helene Sugar Refinery.

Had George B. Reuss not built the
Belle Helene sugar refinery, the Bull
iettiin would most likely not have
been able to announce the completion
of the st. Ebno-Belle Helene Rail-
road this montn, for the Belle Helene
refinery madefnecessary the Belle
Helene cane railroad, and it was this
cane road-some eight miles in
length and full standard gauge-that
made it possible for E. P. Brady to
give the town of St. Elmo the advan-
tages of a railroad by building four
miles of track On to the mileage al.
ready laid by Mr.. Reuss.
The Belle Helene sugarhouse is
one of the largest In Louisiana, rep
resentfng an investment of close to
quarter OF a million dollars In an
ordinary season it will grind $4,000
tons of cane. J. A. Lorio, ST., the
capable manager Of the plant, states
there are good prospects of his mill
grinding $4,000 tons of cane this sea.
son, Of which asome 1900 tons will
be produced in the New River Sec
ton, in territory tributary to the St.
Elmo-Belle Helene railroad. While a
large proportion Of the cane ground
at Belle Helene comes from the i'm
mediate neighborhood, quite a good
deal is shipped in over the Y. and NJ.

signments coming from as far north
as Bayou Sara and Jackson.
The refinery is operated by the

interest in keeping them down. # you
permit the weeds and grass to grow

stantial contribution toward the pre-

nifty. These are hard facts from
which no one can get away. What

United Confederate Veterans.

The annual retanion of the United
Confederate Veterans 5Has held al
Chattanooga, Tenn, on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday, May 27, rs
and 29, and the occasion was fraught
with many interesting, inspiring and
pathetic scenes and incidents. The
attendance of veterans and spectators
was large and the business and en-
tertainment features were all carried
out smoothly.
The event that aroused the greatest
interest and enthusiasm was the
closing parade on Thursday, when
the grizz1ed survivors of the great
army in gray trudged sturdily
through the streets and were ac-
claimed by cheering thousands along
the line Of march. The spectacle
was one never to be forgotten by
those who witnessed it,, and it's i'm
pressiveness was heightened by the
probability that this particular fea.
ture will be omitted at future re-
unions because of the advancing age
and increasing physical disability of
the veterans.
The commander-in-chief and de-
partmental commanders were all re-
elected by acclamation, as follows:
Gen. Bennett Ell. Young of Louisville,
KY, commandments; Lieut.. Gen.
Thomas Garnett of Norfolk, COM
mander of the Army of NorthernVir-
ginia; Lieut.. Col. George H. Garrison,
Of Opelika, Ala, commander of the
Army of Tennessee, and Lieut.. Gen.
X. NJ. Van zandt, of Fort Worth,
Texas, commander of the Transmits
sissippi department.
Jacksonville, Fla, Nashville. Tenn,
Houston, Texas, and Tulsa, Oklal1o'
ma. were candidates for next years
meeting place, and Jacksonville won
by large majority.
The Louisiana split was In evi-
dence before the convention while
the report OF the credentials commit
tee was under consideration. Gen.
W. J. Behan claimed the right to sit
as delegate from the Washington
Artillery camp, though the latter had
severed its connection with the Lou
isiana state division, but the creden-
tials committee reported adversely
to the claim and the convention
adopted the report. The effect of
this decision is that camps must
keep in good standing with state di-
visions to obtain representation in
the national organization.

Lilies ObStruct BAYOU.

A despatch from Lockport to the
New Orleans Picayune, under date
of June so, says:
Bayou Lafourche the past week
presented a sight calculated to raise
alarm in the minds of those whose
business requires them to make daily
trips on the bayou. This is due to
the vast number of water lilies or
hyacinths which cover, in places, the
entire bosom Of the stream, extend
Ing in many places from bank to
bank, and which seem to be rapidly
increasing in numbers. The source
Of supply seems to be Lake Salvador.
with an open canal connecting that
and Bayou Lafourche. 1t may be-
come necessary to invoke govern
ment aid. A fight extending over
many years has been waged against
the hyacinths in Bayou lie Bleu, al
ways unsuccessful, until recently the
government took hold and cleared it. -

greater power to ease pain, inside or
