from the burden by East's response to
the systems call with declaration that
proved 10 be Souths longest suit
However, the outcome did not prove to
be as favorable as South had anticipated.
On the play Of the hand South led the king
of hearts and dummy won with the ace.
In looking over the situation it seemed
to East that with little finessing against
South, game hand might result.
Strength in South's hand was evident
from the original no trump declaration
At the second trick the ten OF spades was
led from dummy's hand in an endeavor to
force an honor from second hand. On
North's play Of the four. however, East
won the trick with the king. The three
of spades then followed from East's hand
and South playing low. dummy's eight
held The trick.
PLAY OF SPADE SUIT.
Whether South played his Jack to in
sure trick on third lead OF spades
or not would not alter the final result
That the play of the eight Of spades from
dummy at that point was correct may be
logically deduced. Should an honor in
spades be unprotected In North's hand no
loss would occur by allowing that card
to make, because third lead in spades
would draw the other honor left unguard-
ed in South's hand.
The ace Of spades was now led from
dummy's hand. This was followed by the
fve of diamonds, and East after winning
with the king. was successful in taking
the Jack fnesse on the return lead.
After making the ace of diamonds the
jack Of hearts was led from dummy. there
by establishing the ten. This gave East
and West three odd tricks and game.

OLD STORY OF A BAD INCREASE.

This is the old story Of increasing the
number of tricks required, with no assur-
ance of better support in the suit named
than he could furnish to his partners dec
laration. East, Of course, doubled the dia-
mond bid when it came to him. That
seemed to be his game. His two heart
double was probably one of those clever
plays to drive the opponents to something
else. Sometimes they lead to successful
results, but in some instances these forced
doubles are just the means OF pushing the
opponents over the game line.
The personal equation cannot be ignored
in auction, however. and East was prob
ably aware Of the effect of the double on
his opponents mind. While he might
have experienced some difficulty in MAX
ing the heart double successful. the dia-
mond seemed to offer a better chance for
gains. Unless assured by partners as
sisting bids of enough strength to carry
them off successfully, the OCCASIONAL gains
made hardly warrant forced doubles, con-
sidering that failure might result in loss
Of game or rubber.

passed. North considered his holding
strong enough to support no trump, and,
rather than switch TO heart, he passed.
East, whose no trump bid had been fore
stalled by South, doubled in compliance
with the system.
Whether the opponents anticipated
Vests probable action, which Easts
double demanded, was not apparent, al
though the informatory double had been
explained, as was proper. South, however.
passed, which was probably his best
course. Nothing less than five card suits
count under this informatory double, so
West had to pass. North this time named
his heart suit, making 1t two hearts. East
doubled this declaration and South. rather
fearful Of the result, with only two small
hearts switched to diamonds, declaring
three In that suit.

SAW THE CAPITOL
BEFORE FINISHED
C. r. ORR RETURNS TO LOOK
OVER THE COMPLETED
STRUCTURE.

NASHVILLE, Aug. 15.-Visiting
the state capitol for the first time
since he was as boy he stood upon
the unfinished walls of the present
building, C. R. Orr, of Giles county,
Thursday walked over the capitol in
company with his son-in-law, Repre-
sentative Spears, of Giles county,
now charter clerk in the Office of the
secretary of state.
Mr.. Orr said that when about Is
years old he went up to the incom-
pleted capitol in company with his
father and grandfather. He says that
the roof of the building had not been
put on, but that the stone walls had
been erected, and that the three
climbed up the scaffolds and looked
over these.
Mr.. Orr is seventy-four years old.
The capitol was finished in 1856, a
year or so after his visit. Mr.. Orr
was then living in Giles county, and
is still q citizen of that county.

RIVERSIDE PARK
IS VERY POPULAR
YOUNG AMERICAS FLOCK THERE
DAILY FOR THE PURPOSE
OF RAGING BATTLE.

Riverside Park is daily the scene
of trying conflict between opposing
representatives of the great national
sport, and these contests are just as
important to the opposing teams as
are those booked by Manager Pad
gett, although the players are per-
haps not so well known. From one
to two dozer Young Americas gather
for these battles each day and the
opening is as early as a crowd can
get to the park, and the closing is as
late as they can be persuaded to stay.
With the young ball players the park
is popular every day in the week,
schedule or no schedule, and any
anxious mama with missing Willie
or Tommie can likely find her young
hopeful at this resort almost any
hour in the day.

RETAIL GROCERS

VEGETABLES AND FRUITS Ex-
TREMELY SCARCE AND GAN
HARDLY BE HAD AT ALL.
CORN Is INFERIOR GRADE
Irish Potatoes Not So Plentiful As
Was Expected and Sweet Potatoes
Being Shipped in From More South
ern Points.

Retail grocers are experincing
more difficulty in supplying the de-
mands Of their trade In vegetables
and fruits this. season than they have
had for number of years.
The local supply Of vegetables has
been cut so short that prices have
been at an abnormal level all the
season. In speaking of the situation
one dealer said this morning that
okra and tomatoes were all the vege-
tables that filled the market demands
and the prices were anything like
what is usually considered right.
Roasting ears, that at this time are
usually abundant and Of fine quail
ty, are hard to get, and the quality
very poor. There is not that rich
ness of favor that follows In the
growth of corn that has had good
rains while 1t is maturing. The ears
are also small and many OF these are
not well filed out, while the prices
are fifty per cent higher than usual.
Irish potatoes are reported scarce
and the market is being supplied to
some extent by stock shipped in from
other sections, and the prices are
ranging higher almost daily. Sweet
potatoes are coming from the South
ern markets, and quotations are
from $1.S0 to 81 per bushel. Beans
are hard to get, and are selling at 20
cents per gallon.
There appears to be an abundance
Of apples in the country but they are
are OF an inferior quality.
The pastures are drying up, in fact
are already dried up in many places.
and cows are not doing SO vel. in
their milk and butter production.
This makes good table butter harder
to get, and the price will go almost
to the prohibitive point soon il there
is not more rain.
All fruits are scarce with the ex-
ception of apples, and hard to ges at
any price,

i, NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. lS.-
Thos. N, Greer, one of the ablest law
yers of the Shelbyville bar, an un-
compromising Independent democrat
and force in the politics of Middle
Tennessee, was today appointed rev.
enue agent for Middle Tennessee by

month a desperate fight has been
made by certain regulars and ma
chine politicians to land Williams but
Mr. Woollen stood true to the fusion
cause and made an appointment that
will be very pleasing to them.
The appointee is lawyer Of abili-
ty, n gentleman of Inimpeachable
character and one who has in poll
tics been the consistent friend Of

distinction in the legislature and in
1904 was an unsuccessful candidate

as counsel for the state funding
board. He will enter upon his duties
at once. The appointment is guar
antee that the ofiice Of revenue agent
