Solution to Previous Contract
 Problem
 It doesn't usually pay for the de- fense to lead a suit which the de- clarer can ruff in one hand and discard on in the other. That's why I.thought to-day's hand, which was played by Miss Florence Stratford of Cleveland, rather unusual, as the best defense the opponents can put up is to let declarer ruff and discard.
 To make her contract, Miss Stratford had to time the hand perfectly, and not attempt to cross ruff it.

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE, Va,
September 29.-The new rate sched-
ules of the Virginia Public Service
Co. embodying the four successive
steps by which the reduced electric
lighting rate will be fully realized
by September /, 1885, were received

the Arlington County Public Utilities
Commission. They become effective
October /, 1884: January /, 1885;
April /, 1885 and September /, 1885.
While it is dif1cult to estimate the
aggregate savings to the consumers in
Arlington County over the period of
d year, Kephart said, 1t will be con-
siderable, since bills of about $6 will
be reduced approximately 20 per cent.
The first reduction is brought about
by the following new schedule covering
the monthly consumption:
First 10 kilowatt hours at 10c each,
minimum charge; next 80 XVIII. at
TIC each. next 200 XVIII. at &c each
and excess XVIII. at 4c each.
The second reduction will result
from the following schedule: First 10
XVIII. at 10c each, minimum charge;
next 10 XVIII. at TIC each, next 20
XVIII. at SC each, next 100 XVIII. at
&c each and excess XVIII. at &c each.
The third reduction will result from
the following schedule: First 10 XVIII.
at 10c each, next so XVIII. at TIC
each. next 40 XVIII. at SC each, next
100 XVIII. at SC each and excess XVIII.

SILVER SPRING, Md, September
Reconstruction of the Beach drive
extension to form another important
link in the system of roadways ex-
tending through the public parks OF
Washington and its environs will be
begun Monday for. the Maryland
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission.
The extension will run IA miles
from the intersection OF the Rock
Creek Capital View road to upper
Connecticut avenue near Kensington
and is to be built by the Northern Vir-
ginia Construction Co. of Clarendon
at cost of approximately $47,500.
Important Addition.
Irving c. Root, chief engineer fol
the Park Commission, today said that
the new road is one of the most i'm
portant additions to the park drive
system in some time. 1t will furnish
an entrance into the extreme northern
end of Rock Creek Park Unit No. 2
near Kensington. and will provide res
idents of Kensington, Capital View
and vicinity with direct route into
the main highways leading to Wash
ington.
In addition, the new unit will ex-
tend the present system of park drives
reaching from Hains Point, in Poto-
mac Park, into Montgomery County
from their present terminus to point
on Connecticut avenue near Kensing-
ton.
Root said the road will be 20 feet
wide on straightaways and % feet
wide on curves. A triple-arch con-
crete and steel bridge is included in
the plans to span gully rs feet in
width, while several culverts also are
to be built.
210 Days for Work.
While the contract awarded by the
commission allows the Virginia firm
2l0 days in which to complete the
project, Root said that it is believed
the grading, culvert and bridge work
will be completed in the late Fall OF
early Winter, and the pouring of con.
crete will begin in the early Spring.
