When the curve has been eliminated. the river wall will be ri-rapped from the Union City bridge to point south of Hotch- kiss street, lending more beauty to the scene and removing any chance for unsanitary conditions.

Today's Contract Problem

He returns the nine of diamonds and this time you must play low, knowing that it will do no harm to make sure that your right hand opponent is stripped of diamonds before you lose control of that suit.
 West wins with the ten and re- turns the jack of diamonds, which you win with your ace.
 And now Watson states that the time has come for your despera- tion play. You lead the eight of hearts, and when West plays the seven, you again duck the trick, playing low from dummy.
 This is a double ducking play, apd Is the only way you can ever hope to make nine tricks on the deal. As 1t turns out, East is forced to win the trick with his king and has lead back either spade or club.
 True. if West held the ace of clubs, you would be set two tricks in spite of your double duck" in hearts.
 However. you remember that you held up on the second round of diamonds, in the hope that East would be stripped of that suit and would be unable to lead a diamond assuming. of course, that he has the ace Of clubs and will ultimate. ly gain the lead.

I have selected to-day's hand from the book of that great player, Louis H. Watson, entitled Wat son on the Play of the Hand at Contract Bridge. Watson is recognized as one of the best card players of the country.
 Watson staets that in bridge here is no such thing as hope 'ess hand. He says that no mat ter how discouraging the prospect looks at first glance, there is al- way some chance of developing sufficient tricks.
 In to-day's hand it is necessary .c duck twice to establish a suit in dummy. Sometimes such a play l>ay seem rather hopeless unless you give proper weight to possi- hi!ities of distribution.
 The Play
 The opening lead is the queen of diamonds. When you take stock of the situation, you find that you have exactly seven high card t';cks. Your only long suit is hearts, so you attack this suit without delay.
 Of course, you must be careful Iot to take the ace of hearts out If dummy at once, as it will elim- mate the only entry in that hand. Therefore. you lead small heart, West plays the deuce, the four Is played from dummy and East wins with the queen.
