 North laid down two rounds of trump, learning the bad news. Two rounds of spades were played and now declarer had a perfect count on the East hand.
 Two more rounds of spades were led, then three rounds of clubs, tlnessing the 10 in the dummy. On the ace of clubs, declarer discarded his good spade. ; V A diamond was led. and iruffed by declarer. This was oyerruffed by East, who now was compelled to lead into declarer's tenace holding in trump. Thus the contract was made. Copyright, 1897, NEA Service, Inc.)
