came up at the Tuesday night game of the
hnickerbocker Whist Club last May. (See dia-
gram iii second column.)
q dealt and bid no-trump, which was passed
UP to fourth-hand, who called two hearts at
every table. No one seems to have thought
Of calling three. At one or two tables BIS
two hearts overcalled Ys take-out Of two
,ubs from weakness. When had not made
bid z doubled the two hearts to get line
on VS. hand When had made bid z
could not double, but passed.
Not recognizing the two-heart as anything
but an ask for lead, A denied the suit by
going to two spades at some tables, when z
doubled, for fear would leave the double in.
All kinds of bids were made, according to the
drift of the first round, which always ended
up with two hearts.
AT one table, Y passing the no-trumper and
z doubling the two hearts, A let the double
stand and went to three clubs, and made it.
At another table, Y calling the clubs to deny
assistance for a no-trumper, q passed up the
heart bid and A let it stand. No one seems
to have thought of going two no-trumps
AS cards, yet it is game hand, if the heart
fnesse is taken. after getting in with the king
of clubs.
At some tables went on to three hearts,
either to deny the spades, OF to overcall rs
double and Y's clubs, as that seemed to indi-
cate weakness in hearts in rs hand. It is an
easy game hand in hearts if the finesse is
taken.
Some refused to take this fnesse, when z
had not doubled, as they credited 2 with the
queen. This cost the game, as diamond was
lost, it being impossible to ruff out the spades.
The most remarkable play on this deal
came up when A took out BIS two-heart bid
with two spades, and was left to play it. At

This is the solution of Problem No. 49,
in which there were no trumps, z to lead, and
w to win seven tricks:
2 starts with the ace OF clubs, so as to
whether A is going to keep his king or
give it up. If A plays the king two rounds
Of hearts follow, q discarding diamond queen.
Now if B leads a spade he loses two tricks in
that suit and the heart. If he leads club he
loses the two tricks there.
If A keeps the club king z leads a small
spade, which Y wins, and puts in with
club. On the two diamond tricks the follow
B must make two discards, Y shedding the
club ten, so that rs eight shall force the final
discard from B.
The false solution is to start with the spade,
SO as to make the diamond ten ace; because

game or set the contract actually lost it.
This is how it happened: led the five
of clubs and put on the ace. Seeing that
if he returned the club, and had the king,
dummy would get in his little trump, pro-
ceeded to take that trump out of dummy by
leading the king of spades before returning
the club.
The queen of clubs was won by AS king, and
the queen of spades forced the ace If z holds
off, A will go right along with the jack, as the
only chance to knock ten and ace together.
Now what is Y to lead after making the
club? II heart, dummy is in with the jack,
and the suit set up. A diamond puts in to
pull the trumps, make his ace of diamonds
and all the hearts. This gives him his con-
tract, three-odd. The only point is the courage
to take the finesse in hearts. Those who did
not do this lost diamond trick.
At the tables at which z did not pull dunn
my's trump, but tried to kill the heart suit
by leading the ten for the second trick (Which
is simply betting that has not two hearts
and that Y has four to the queen--an unlikely
situation, as Y did not go back to no-trumps),
they set the spade contract.
The heart jack held dummy made his little
trump, but the ace, king and ten of trumps
all took tricks, and z trumped heart. This
held down to one-odd.
Another player did not take the chance on
the heart, but led up to the weak diamonds
with the nine with the most astonishing re-
suits A won the trick and finessed the heart
at once, instead Of making dummy's little
trump. Then he led trump and the jack
held, che return of the seven was covered by
the ten and the diamond returned, overtaken
by the queen. A wen it and led another
trump This allowed q to force one Of AS
trumps with the diamonds, trump the hesrss.

Mysterious Visitors Call
At Various City Libraries
(BV ASSOCIATED Press)

CHICAGO. Jan. 30-E1Js of romance
in the lives of Librarians are furnished
by mysterious visitors who come to
browse in the learned tones in their
keeping.
Conversation with the librarians in
the Ryerson library reveal colorful
facts. There is the Spanish gentleman
named Cebrian who roams about the
world collecting rare Spanish books
on art which he sends to the library
at unexpected intervals. He is never,
il seems, in the same place twice, but
he usually writes in advance when he
is passing through Chicago and then
pays the library visit.
Not long ago prosperous looking
gentleman came up in great delight to
the librarians desk and announced
that he had found a picture for which
he had searched for many months,
spending over one thousand dollars in
the search. 1t was a picture OF a
Louis VX dresser of veneer. He had
been trying to prove to group Of
manufacturers that the costliest fur
niture was once made in veneer and
had been unable to convince them
After he had left the city eight or ten
men came into the library from vari
Gus parts of the country and asked to
see the illustration.

only quelled by the police after mum
erous casualties had been inflicted.
The trouble arose when the workers
demanded the release of two COM
rades arrested on a charge OF assault
ing the manager of the works, which
was refused.
Police rushed to the scene only to
