The Bidding
 At auction, South would bid one spade, West overcall with two clubs, North would go to two spades which would buy the con- tract.
 At contract, South should bid one spade, West two clubs, North three spades. East would pass and South should go to five spades which North would carry to six. The Play
 West has the opening lead. He does not like to lay down his ace of clubs and surrender the hand so he decides to open a spade. The four spot is led, the five is played from dummy and the declarer wins the trick with the nine. He must not win the trick with the six the six must be conserved as an entry into dummy.
 Declarer then leads the ten of diamonds, refusing to take the l lfinesse-going right up with the ace. A small diamond is returned from dummy which the declarer trumps. Again he must be careful not to trump with the six, but must

DAMAGES POLICE AUTO
Cops Claim Gay Liquor Loaded At
 Time Of Smash
Cops Claim Young Man Continues on Way After Colid- ing With Crew of Motor Patrol-Faces Arraign- ment Tomorrow Morning on Twin Charges

Main street Gay was finally over taken by the police car and placed under arrest. There is likely to be an investigation of his license as an operator. The young man was ar rested and convicted of operating while under the influence of liquor on October 10th. 1891 and fined $100 and costs. $25 of which was remitted. His license was automat- ically revoked, but he had one in his possession today. Gay will be arraigned tomorrow morning on two and possibly more charges.
 The police have a smashed mud guard to offer as evidence of Gays driving.
 Anthony Zyymunt, 35. of 7S Ridge street was arrested on charge of assault and breach of the peace following a disturbance in his home. The evidence today indi- cated that the accused has been making things uncomfortable for members of his family. He was given suspended jail sentence of 60 days and ordered to find new boarding house. If he insists on re- maining atShome he must pay $10 week, if he packs his trunk and moves. he will be expected to con- tribute $8 a week.
 Harry Ryan, 32, of $40 Bald win street was given 10 days in jail for breach of the peace. He was in court week ago on sim liar charge and had the case nolled.

It may have been just furry of snow which temporarily blinded the driver or 1t may have been a shot of hooch that was responsible for impaired vision, but Patrolmen Joseph Mccarthy and Domenic Denardo claim that one Carl Gay 26. of 85 Harper's Ferry road was under the influence of liquor early this morning when he crashed into the police car and then attempted getaway. Gay was placed under arrest and now faces the charges of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of liquor and evasion of responsibility.
 It was 3:55 o'clock in the morn ing, what time and what day for crash! MT Gays car just hooked the police motor patrol car Its two occupants stepped out of the machine expecting to find q very penitent and .apologetic driver confronting them, ready with ex- plantations, alibis and evidence of insurance protection or whatever a driver first thinks of in case of an emergency. But it was not ir this case. Gay is alleged to have continued right on his way without paying any attention to the usual formalities of the road. Anyway il was such tough morning on land or sea, that he decided that 1t was q case of everyman for himself.

sponsible largely for the delays in the New York and Hartford trains. At 9 o'clock this morning, how ever, everything on the local divi- sion of the railroad was back to normal.
 No reduction in freight tonnage today on the local division result ed from the storm and passenger service on the trains. especially be- tween here and Hartford, increas- ed. This is believed due to the fear of motorists to use their cars in inter-city travel.
 As for the bus service, they were running on schedule early this morning due to the fact that the state blows had cleared a one-way avenue through the main high ways. As traffic was light the busses were able to run through these one-Way avenues with little or no delay. Toward II o'clock, however, as traffic increased the busses were delayed somewhat on the highways.
 At 10 o'clock last night the state highway department swung it's large force of blows in this dis trict into action and throughout the night and early hours of the morning they were at work con- stantly keeping the highways open. Later fin the day the Elows were busy devoting their time to widening the avenues opened earlier in the morning for traffic along the highways.
 The Short Line busses were all running on time this morning and only one delay was experienced in this district last night. This oc- cured in Naugatuck when the New Haven Waterbury trolley be- came derailed and held up motor traffic on the highway.
 The Southern New England Telephone company reported that complaints of trouble in Waterbury were normal to-day despite the storm. The lines held up well, Manager Harold c. Davis stated. In Naugatuck, he said, two or three reports of trouble were re- ported.
 One interruption in the Water bury electric service, another in Naugatuck and third in Seymour was reported by the local offices of the Connecticut Light and Power company. All i II all, however. Manager Charles Allen stated, the power and light lines held up splendidly in the worst storm of the season.
 In all three instances the inter-
