The return to the city of DR..

various schools, and is also sched-
uled to be presented at the First

We hope our banquet this year
will be as great a success as the

know it will be if our new chef

The bats in the belfry of Rock
Creek Camp will be shooed out
when the B and I girls go for a
mount in May. They will renew
acquaintance with the babbling
brook and the quiet shady paths.
They will again follow along the
green banks of the stream until the
big rocks projecting far out from
the banks terminates the hike.
Something was lacking in the
last meeting of the group. The
genius and inspiration of the club,

out the bidding, eventually be- longs to the declarer. He may put it in his own hand, discarding one of his 16 cards, or place it in the dummy, in which case he discardS one of the dumry's cards. If he has no use for it in either hand, /; as might be the case if 1t is a worthless low card, he merely dis cards it and leaves his own and dummys hand intact. Naturally, l should the declarer discard from his own hand. he must show the discard to the defending players.
 l In royal contract, the English and Vienna players have adopt the plan of bidding for the tricks for which they are willing to con- tract, and at first the bids will sound strange indeed to contract ears. However, bid of 10 spades is not, as those who play contract might think, an impossible offer to take 16 tricks, but merely the offer to win 10 tricks, or in royal contract SCOT ing, three less than game. The low est bid is thus a bid of nine in any suit or no trump.
 A study of the scoring table shows that in order to make game, Il tricks are needed at no trump, 12 at royals, 13 at spades and hearts and IA at cubs and diamonds. The player who thus elects to play hand for a minor suit game auto- matically wins small slam bonus if he succeeds.
 When the new cards were eX- hibited at the British Industries ex- hibition, King George and Queen Elizabeth were greatly interested. The king reached into his pocket and took out pound note, and took two decks home to the palace after receiving some instructions as to it's play. The Duke of Kent, who was in the royal party, pessimisti- cally remarked: Contract is hard enough for me. This looks like something much more difficult" He didn't buy deck.
 In tomorrow's article the actual play of a hand will be described. | Copyright, 1888, NEA Service, Inco
