Score: Rubber game. North and South
10. East and West 16.
South declared one no trump on hold
ing of fair strength, lacking, however,
the essential high cards in hearts for
safe major suit bid.
North, with the dual idea Of showing
his partner superior strength in suit and
Of discouraging his opponents bidding,
overcalled with three clubs. Notwith-
standing the height Of this bid, East de-
clared three diamonds.
South passed, but North decided to try
for the rubber and bio four clubs which
secured the contract.
At the opening. East led the king Of
diamonds and followed it with the ace.
i: Although West echoed, showing only two
cards in the suit, East did not continue,
knowing North also to be void, but
switched TO the jack of trumps as the
best way out Of an unfavorable position.
North. upon winning with the king Of

outset that his surplus Of trumps would

portunity to shorten his trumps was af-

figured upon two re-entries in dummy.

"TlEFLAND" AT CENTURY
Marta of the Lowland" To
Be Sung at Opera.

The much discussed and once post

possible to be made or whether any par
ticular make would be successful. but
what was the sound or correct bidding or
the part of North and South.
Our correspondent, to whom the cues
ton was referred, stated he would have
declared two hearts in North's position
over an original no trump. This was un-
doubtedly the correct first bid. An in
crease to two no trump by South would
have been likely TO have followed on
account of weakness in hearts, and then
the declaration could have been over
called with three diamonds. This should
have been the final declaration.
South agreed that the better overcsll
in the initial round was hearts. but diff
fered as to the continuation. He insisted
that from North's viewpoint. after his
(South's) acknowledged weakness in
hearts, shown by an increased no trump
declaration, the ace OF diamonds was
clearly marked in his hand TO justify the
declaration originally. With the promise
that card gave for the success of the
hand, there was no need for further bid
ding
There can be no question as to South
initial bid, or the pass by West.
North, however. with hand Of two
six-card suits, must bid one of them. ana
the higher value heart suit is unques'
tionably the better one to declare. The
reasons given by the writer, to whom we
are indebted for the hand, cover in the
main the points TO be considered
While South's argument is one OF a
thinking player, his contention as to the
location in South's hand OF the ace OF
diamonds as a qualification for no
trump continuance, cannot be fully com
mended.
The chances viewed from Norths stand
point no doubt favored its location Win
South. but a club suit OF considerable
dimension would have acted as a stimulus
Tor further chances at the highest value
declaration, though two suits were In q
measure unprotected.
With two such suits as North held,
success will result i'm the majority o.
cases at the declaration requiring one
trick less for game if the no. trump de-
elarant allows ii TO hold.

Signor Edoardo Petri gave recently al
the Institute Of Musical Art lecture on
'oThe Salient Characteristic of the Italian
Language and its Value 10 the American
Singing Student" In the course OF his
lecture Signor Petri said the purpose was
to try and demonstrate that Italian con-
tains an element of educational value for
the American singing student, aside from
the mere acquisition of a foreign tongue.
An element OF vital Importance: the for-
nation of musical vowels.
He demonstrated this element was to be
found in Italian not by mere accident.
but by rigid law OF evolution, which had
TO follow a certain course once certain
principle had been introduced in vowels.
That principle Is music. and Professor
Petri traced it back TO Greek enlighten-
ment and Plato's idea.
The whole Italian Renaissance Is
proof of It. So that IL the young artist
studies Raphael and Veronese, the sculp-
tor Donatello and Mlchelangelo. the
architect Vignola and Bremanto. the sing
ing student should study the formation
of vowels as conceived by the people who
invented musical recitative."
The Musicians Club, now occupying
rooms on West 18Th street. is rapidly out

are now being made to raise suh1cient
funds to erect a suitable clubhouse, where
