There are At present two matters
which seem to be commanding tho at
tent!on OF bridge players to the exclu-
sion Of almost everything else. Ono Of
these In the nulo and the other IL the
declaration of the losing suits, clubs and
diamonds. With regard to the nullo an
attempt is being made to ascertain by
means OF vote what the majority Of
bridge players throughout the country
think OF It.
Very few bridge players understand
the nullo. Most persons. having been
misled as to It's true object are not
versed IN the proper method OF leading
up TO the declaration in the bidding. and
any expression OF opinion about q thing
that they do not understand cannot be
OF much value. No matter which way
such vote might result Il would not be
simply upon the advisability OF adding
another game going declaration TO the
bids already in use. because that is the
erroneous idea that most persons have
Of II.
With regard to tho other matter. the
declarations In the losing suits. several
correspondents have from time TO time
written to THE SrN asking why the
Views upon this subject expressed in this
department are so completely opposed
TO those OF the leading authorities on
the game az set forth in their writings.
The best answer to this question 10 to
state the facts and let the reader decide
for himself.
According to the latest statistics avail
able. those compiled by Bryant McCamp-
bell of st. Louis and published in Auction
Developments, out Of 1905 declarations of
anywhere from ono to five In the winning
suits COS went game on the hand. or
about 81 per cent. In the losing suits SAT
declarations show that only ninety-ons
went game on tho hand, or about 20 per
cent While only about 30 per cent. Of the
winning bids failed. more than 40 per cent
OF tho losing suit bids failed to fulfil their
contracts
Any player will take chance Of going
game with the odds In favor OF tho win
ming suit, but not with a losing suits In
which the odds arc 8 to ! against him
1t Is upon this that tho modern system
Of bidding separates these suits and lays
down the following axiom:

the galleries that unless the league
bought the houses on either side of the
building and so extended the galleries
east and west the committee couldn't
set Bob's screen up all in one piece.
30 what did lot of unfeeling vandals
headed by young Mr. Aynar Embury
do? They just unbuttoned Bob's screen
down the back where the middle panels
join and set up the screen in two parts.
half on one side Of the door leading into
the Vanderbilt gallery and half at the
other side of the door.

"NO-O-O--O--O." screamed the
entire committee in instantaneous
chorus.
They're jealous" Bob cried to the
world in general. "LcaiuusJealousjeal-
Gus, They NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS."
Bob claims now that by busting his
screen into two parts the committee has
spoiled his whole darn composition. The
screen liz a simple little design showing
spiders, elts and eagles, giraifes lines
and taggers, striped sea bass flet of
sole, waterfalls, moose standing on top
Of pine trees. Holsters, Long Island

animals.
"And what are those two babies there
between the rhino and the barred Piy-
mouth rock, Sheriff." some one asked
Bob.

A dull roar in the general direction Of
