And, as East reasonably pointed

only a matter of discretion anyway.
If East had taken the ace OF dia-

have that missing diamond, the
four-spade contract would actually
have been made. Dummy's entire

FIRE DESTROYS
HISTORIC fay

The historic Fay hotel in Virginia,
operated by Mrs. Abigail Lerch, was
totally gutted by fire Saturday after
noon, entailing a loss estimated at be-
tween $4,000 and 100000.
The Fay was built by Marcus L. Fay
after whom 1t was named In 1900 when
B. F. Smith leased the building and
operated it until just before World
war l, when Walter j. Markham Of
Bemidji leased the property. Stewart
B. Smith later operated the hotel un-
til his death, when Mrs. Smith and
Mrs. Lerch took over, Mrs. Lerch sue
ceeding to sole management when Mrs.
Smith died.
Under the management of Mrs.
Lerch, the hotel was remodeled and it
was looked upon as one of the finest
dining places and lounges on. the
ranges. The hotel served as the social
center Of the range for many years.
The Rotary -Kiwanis' room was to-
tally destroyed and with it the fam
Gus war poster collection, the only one
Of its kind in the country. Trunk
power lines serving large portion OF
the city were severed and the Virginia
Daily Enterprise was without power.
The paper failed to appear until Sun
day morning, the first time in a So
year history that it had that exper-
ience.

ing hotel accommodations, is coming
