A Proud Day

Waterbury has much to be proud of to- day. The inauguration of Governor Cross for his third successive term makes new high-water mark for the democratic party in Connecticut. The inauguration of May or Frank Hayes as the new lieutenant governor of the state sets new high for Waterbury. It is the first time that the city has ever sent democratic lieutenant governor to Hartford. Local people are hoping that this is but the beginning of Q long and honorable career for our first citizen in the governmental halls of the Capitol.
 We feel sure that in the next six months Lieutenant-governor Hayes will live up to the reputation he has achieved in the business and political worlds of this city. This reputation has gone abroad and made him one of the most popular can didates on the democratic ticket last fall. We feel sure that it will be enhanced by his duties as presiding officer in the State Senate throughout the duration of the legislative session. That it is but step- ping stone to higher honors we know to be certainty.
 In the conduct of the affairs of the state Lieutenant-governor Hayes is going to play an important part in the months to come. He will be not merely an active officer in the State Senate, where he is al- lowed to cast a ballot to break all tie votes, but in an advisory capacity he is going to be called upon day after day to exercise his good judgment, tact, and perspicacity in solving problems of interest to the state as whole and to his party, for which he stands first, last, and always. As demo- crat we know that the new lieutenant governor will be intensely loyal. He mer- its richly the support we know will be his.

The opening lead was the K of
diamonds, and declarer was in with
his Ace. From declarer's point of
view, establishment of diamonds
could be accomplished, giving East
8 spade tricks; no hearts required;
a single low diamond trick could
be- won, making 2 tricks total for
the suit; 8 tricks could be won in
clubs, or a total of 10 tricks.
Dummy's Ace OF spades took the
second tricks, and its 3 clubs were
run. On them declarer had to
choose which red suit to discard.
He let go his 3 hearts. Had the 6
adversely held trumps been divid-
ed 33, or had the adversely held
diamonds been held %, all would
have been well. With the two bad
breaks of opposing strength, de-
clarer was unable to capture OPP
posing spades, and at the same
time stand being ruffed times,
and he went down on his game
contract.
Suppose declarer had let go his
low diamonds on dummy's club
tricks, and kept his 3 low hearts.
Declarer's first 5 tricks would
have been the Ace of diamonds,
Ace of spades and the top hon.
ors held in clubs. After that have
play go; lead the 8 of clubs, East
| will ruff. Lead the K of spades,
then lead the j of spades, giving
North the first defensive trick.
North will ruff declarer, by lead
ing the thirteenth club. For the
tenth trick declarer will lead his
last trump, picking up the last
missing spade, and leaving him
with his three low hearts. The way
East played the hand, each remain
ing player has just 3 hearts. Lead
a low heart. South will play low
Vests J of hearts will force North
either to everyday with his @, or
to lose the one added trick re-
quired by declarer to make game
No matter how North plays his
hearts he will win 2 tricks and
he must give the boys single
trick in the suit.
Five spade tricks, ! heart trick
l diamond trick and 3 club tricks
making a total of 10 tricks, just
give East an easy game, while his
pet method of playing the con-
tract left him trick down.
