AINTREE RACE COURSE, Eng.
land, March % U.N.sJ.-It takes
q horse race to break down an
Englishman's traditional reserve
and make him one of the boys.
For half an hour this afternoon
the proverbial well-bred English
man and Englishwoman forgot all
the etiquette books ever taught
them about decorum and Joined
with Tom, Dick and Harry, and
Harriet in behaving like a bunch
Of kids seeing their first circus.
IT'S the Ninth Wonder
The occasion was England's
famed Grand National Steeple-
chase, which I witnessed as
guest Of international News Serv'
ice and from which came away
inclined to agree with those en-
thusiasts who have called it the
ninth wonder of the world.
Tourist agencies might revise
the tag advising Americans to
'see Naples and Die" by saying
"See the Grand National and
Wrap Yourself in a Thrill" for
it's one Of those experiences out
Of which even Henry Ford would
get a kick of pride in the courage
and great-heartedness Of horse
flesh.
Two hundred thousand people,
one Of the most cosmopolitan
crowds I have even seen outside
New York, apparently felt the
same as I did. Two hundred thou
sand hearts, including mine, kept
popping up into our mouths as
we alternately yelled ourselves
hoarse or thrilled to dumbness by
the struggle unfolded on Aintree's
classic track.
Our cheers, sighs, groans, as
we watched the horses taking
those 80 jumps must have been
heard miles away.
And what jumps!
Some Of them looked as high
as the market in 1928 and as
wide as the margins are today.
Rubber Dollars Forgotten
In the excitement we forgot to
root for our favorite, carrying ou1
rubber dollars. Most of the time
we were carried away by the spec.
tacle and could see only the COM
plete panorama.
The excitement was indescrib-
able. One noble lord so forgot
his breeding as to wrap his UNI
brella around my neck.
The next 20 minutes was
crowded with enough thrills to
satisfy the most greedy.
It was a great experience, but,
looking back, the thing upper
most in my mind was the mar
velous sight of all those thou
sands Of people in holiday attire
unmindful of international com.
plications, stock markets or other
worries, lost in the spirit of cam
araderie which can only exist at
these great sporting events.
In the words of some one OF
other, I came, I saw, but the
bookmakers conquered.
You know the feeling.

CAMEO

The main attraction coming to the Cameo theater Sunday is "The Old Fashioned Way" starring W. c. Fields and his supporting cast which features among its many stars Baby Le Roy.
 Here is the ultimate in laugh provoking films. When Fields as the old stage star starts to unravel his historic talents on the natives of the towns where he is appear ing you will roll in the aisles with laughter. A show within a show that is what is offered you in this funniest and this picture is just what Waterbury ordered right down their aisle, full of fun and laughter, and also have in its con- tents one of the most musical of songs hits, "A Little Bit of Heaven Known As Mother" and then there is We're Just Poor Folks Rolling in Love-"
 Seldom is it possible to secure for a star a part that fits him like the role of the manager of the broken down stock company does Fields and the more trouble that he gets into with his adventures the more you will relish the pic- ture. Then there is the feud be- tween him and Baby Le Roy and the supreme artistry of this young- ster will make you marvel at the intelligence displayed.
 The co-feature is Girl in Dan- ger'' starring Ralph Bellmay.

lead. She saw that the danger of the hand lay in the fact that East might shift to a diamond. There fore, she won the first trick in dummy with the king, in the hope that East would not break new suit.
 A small spade was returned and won by Miss Sidway with the ace. The queen of hearts was played and the finesse taken. East winning with the king.
 If the first trick had been won by Miss Sidway with the ace. East undoubtedly would have shifted to a diamond, but with only two small clubs in dummy, and with the pos sibility that his partner had opened a five-card suit, East felt obliged to return his partners suit and led the jack of clubs, which Miss Sidway won with the ace.
 A small spade was led and West went in with the king, but all that he could do was to cash his queen and nine of clubs.
 If East had shifted to a diamond, the contract would have been de- feated.

SOLUTION TO PREVIOUS CONTRACT PROBLEM

When the first trick can be won
 in either hand, don't become care
 less and think that it makes no
 difference simply because you have entries in both hands. You may have finesse to take and, if 1t
 fails, the other opponent may start a new suit, which might spell de- feat for your contract. Decide carefully where to win the first trick-not only from the viewpoint of entries, but from the
 angle as to whether you wish your opponents to continue the suit or switch to another.
 Miss Charlotte Sidway, recog- nized as the outstanding woman
 bridg player of Buffalo, showed by
 such play how she made three no trump in a recent duplicate game
