The bidding:
East. South. West. North.
10 IA - 80
Pass 81 Pass a.
50 Ga Pass Pass
- Pass Pass Dbl.
Pass Pass Pass
The first three rounds of bidding
at both tables were the same. How
ever, at table number one on the fourth
round East bid seven diamonds, which
was doubled and set four tricks. At
table number two East passed in the
vain hope that the six-spade contract
would be set. AS a matter of fact,
his hopes would have been realized If
the declarer, Charles Lockridge, had
not exercised great care.
The opening lead was the three of
diamonds. Declarer ruffed in dummy,
played the ace Of clubs, ruffed a club,
returned to dummy by ruf11ng second
diamond. ruffed another low club in
his hand. and drew trumps, ending
in dummy. He cashed the king of
clubs, on which he discarded the heart
deuce. and now played the four of
hearts from dummy, intending to duck.
In an effort to keep his partner from
being thrown In the lead, East went
up with the nine, but this did no good,
since declarer simply played the
queen. West won with the king, and
now, since the diamond lead would
allow declarer to run in dummy and
discard his one remaining heart, West
returned the five Of hearts, whereupon
dummy's six forced East's jack, and
the contract was made.

\ week ago yesterday the Alaska Am Transports Sl0,000 Bellanca slNrooket scapanc went up in flames in a burning hangar, and to- daN. az though that catastrophe were not enough the Alaska Air Transports $7.000 Stinson four place seaplnne sank by it's tail while tied to the floating hangar at the foot of Main Street.
 At a late hour this afternoon, at tempts were being made to raise the plane with the electric hoist at thc hangar
 Unattended at it's moorings, the SunSon evidently sank when it's pom icons filled and permitted water to come in by the caps on the top of Heats. Water then is believed to have entered the tail of the fuselage and sunk the plane to within a few feet of the engine before precau- tions were taken to prevent further sinking.
 Damage. though seemingly great to crowds who watched the raising operations is believed to be negli- gible beyond salt water immersion that will entail a good cleaning out

years ago today. Three of the SIX
cars that had left New York on Feb.

a Paris newspaper managed to reach
the finish line in Paris but they
were five weeks apart.
Original Route of the race was
from New York to San Francisco,
thence up the. coast to Alaska, and
across the Boring Sea by boat to
Siberia, from whence the rest of the
trip was to be made entirely by land.
After one machine had ventured into
Alaska and found it impossible, the
entries were permitted to ship their
cars from Seattle to Vladivostok.
The last lap. from Vladivostok, start
ed May %, with three cars still in
the running American, German, Ital-
AN. Railroad ties had to be their
road for hundreds of miles, and these
were the first automobiles ever seen
in most of the country they traversed.
The German entry finished first by
four days but the American car was
declared the winner because of penal.
ties previously imposed on the Ger
mans.
