with his holding, indicating probable
success al diamonds, but doubtful at
royals. West also remained quiet, con-
tent with the changed adverse declara-
ton, giving him a much stronger de-
fence.
East opened the play with the king
of hearts, upon which his partner
played the queen, confident by doing
so switch to n low heart would fol
low. East did not construe the play
as his partner intended and led in
stead low club, possibly with the idea
Of suit establishment. With dummy in,
discards OF two losing hearts in
North's hand followed. and only the
three top trumps remained for East
and West, two tricks short of saving
the game.
The only method OF play meeting
with success was that which West fore
saw, but, unfortunately for his side,
was made impossible by his partners
play. A low heart, putting West in.
would have enabled him 70 draw both
Of dummy's trumps and make still an
other heart. These two tricks in hearts
would have given a total of six tricks,
not only setting the opponents, but
also saving the game
If East acted upon the assumption
that his partner was void of hearts
and a force would have been detri-
mental to the partnership interest,
there was very little ground upon which
TO base such play. The cards in his
hand and dummy's showed that if a
singleton were held by West. six hearts
originally must have been with North,
a most unlikely holding. Even grant
ing North's hand to be made up of n
two-suiter- hearts and diamonds. with
few other cards-there was little 70
recommend club lead A spade lead
should have logically followed to con-
sstently carry out the idea which is
presumed was in East's mind.
This very danger of a spade lead
made West play as he did. To empha-
size his desire for second lead OF
hearts, he played his top card, fully
conscious of the wrong impression OF
his strength in spades created by his
bid OF no trump over South's royals.
1t should have been apparent to East
that success could be measured only
by the number of hearts made. To
make this possible a trump or low
heart should have been led at the
second trick. At love score there

not be concurred in as affording action
best suited TO the circumstances.
Against the general run of no trump,
strength in two hands, unless concen-
trated practically in one suit, can be
utilized best in defensive rather than
offensive play.
East passed, the best course to pur-
sue in view of the prior bidding. South
doubled and East went TO three no
trump, deeming it better policy to take
the offensive az no trump rather than
at hearts, being influenced no doubt by
his singleton king in his partners de-
clared suit. South doubled. as was to
be expected, under the circumstances.
Upon the play South, hard pressed
for suitable opening lead, decided
that spades would be the least damag-
ing, and led the ace of the suit. He
followed il up with the seven of clubs,
sure OF az least one trick in the suit, If
continued East won the trick with
the ace and led low diamond to dunn
my's nine. South. second hand, went
up with the king and led low heart,
East winning. Another diamond lead
set up the suit, South seeing it was
useless 10 hold Off.
AFTER TINS the KING OF clubs made In
South's hand, giving him four tricks,
but not enough to save the game.
This hand is illustrative Of the point.
The bidding and penalties were spec
tacular in effect, but it would make a
heavy drain upon the Imagination to
find any lesson in the hand permanent
in its effect for the good of the player.
The later bidding was largely specu-
lative in character, and does not admit
Of comment further than that given.
II W i'll be noted that success only came

ability 20 furnish even single trick.
Here is another hand. sensational in
bidding and penalties, furnishing much
better material in the way of bidding
and play than the previous hand. al
though the criticisms in respect TO
carelessness in recognizing details in
play are present in the hand.

part, with the opening in his hand and
three apparently sure winners 10 lead,
making little likelihood Of the OPP
ponents going game.
At the score, however, with two tricks
less to make, this danger particularly
threatened. A feature Of this hand
that thould not escape attention was
his strength in the other three suits.
That insured to an appreciable degree
safety in case OF a switch. AS noted
in the actual play this switch occurred,
and with it came the opportunity TO
save the game.
In the following hand, curiously
enough, uo-trump declaration figured
prominently upon both sides. While
this condition IS not unusual, il forms
often the most interesting situation for
correct inference possible in the game.

Lakewood. March 6.--The Len.en sea,
son has had visible effect on the usual
caycty of the resort. This week in par
ticular has been a quiet one. SoJourn-
ers evidently have been surfelted with
lively forms of entertainment and have
been resting. The month was ushered
in with unusually high winds, which
prevented the usual number Of golfers
from making rounds, and making trap
shooting impossible. Yesterday higher
temperatures called those who had been
staying indoors out either for saddle
riding or motoring. Spring IS anticl-
pated with enthusiasm. This season
promises TO be the liveiest Of the year.
The number of reservations being made
at the hotels presages a large number
of hotel visitors, besides the many Gus
tomary parties by the sojoumers for
the holidays. Polo play will be IN full
swing at that season. and this popular
sport at Georgian Court, the estate o.
George Gould, will lure many here.
The initial social affair of the week
was the meeting OF the Ladies Card
Club Monday afternoon at the Laurel
House. Eight tables were in play. Miss
