the $4,000 he had been promised.
The husband pleaded that he should
not be bound by a promise under
such circumstances, but the court
ruled that he must indeed pay the
full amount. The judge pointed out
that the bystander had risked his
own life to fulfill the husbands
plea-and therefore was entitled to

Gould's Manakin.

No where in the world will you
find more fascinating fairies than
the manakins birds in the forests of
tropical America. There are 40
species, two of which inhabit the
Barro Colorado Island in the Canal
Zone. One wears a soft silky black
costume with a bright red cap, the
other prefers a suit of mingled
black and green with wide shirt
front and broad, becoming collar OF
bright orange with a smart glossy
black cap. This is Gould's manakin.
He is far more numerous than red
cap, but, more shy and at times
almost invisible.
He betrays himself by his sharp,
rafting whirrs or snaps, but to
find him, you must be sharp eyed
and your hearing excellent.
Visitors to the Canal Zone are
always eager to visit the courts or
stages, to witness the strange antics
of the male. These courts are clip

Goren on Bridqe

The postponement of trump draw
ing Is normally associated with the
nervous tyro or the absent-minded
professor: more frequently however
it may be part of the well-planned
strategy of declarer. In today's hand
declarer postponed the extraction
OF trumps as temporizing measure
In order to determine what tactics
were best suited to this particular
hand.
The bidding in today's hand fol-
lowed standard patterns. North,
holding IA points, had mandatory
opening and started proceedings in
the only expedient manner with a
bid Of one club. East overcalled with
one diamond and South naturally
made free bid of one spade. North
bid one no-trump, though he held
but a partial stopper in diamonds.
This was preferable to raise with
this evenly balanced hand of mini
mum strength. The raise by opening
bidder Of partners response should
be made only on hands that contain
some slight additional values or at
least four Of partners trumps. When
South competed to three clubs,
North, Of course, preferred to return
to his partners suit and South car
red on to game, despite the fact
that North had failed to offer an
immediate raise.
West opened the queen Of dia-
monds and South ruffed the second
round OF that suit. He observed that
If he drew trlmps he could cash
only nine tricks, five spades, three
hearts and the ace of clubs; the
tenth trick must, therefore, be de-
veloped in the club suit, or by re-
versing the dummy and making
North the master hand and ruffing
the losing diamonds In the South
hand. Which plan to adopt would
depend upon how the trumps were
split. If they were Al it would be
necessary to win two club tricks; If
they were 80, declarer could afford
to ruff diamonds in his own hand
and draw trVmps with dummys
spades.
At trick three declarer, therefore,
led the jack of clubs, which went
to East's queen. East returned the
king Of diamonds, which declarer
ruf1ed with the 10 Of spades. West
discarded the five of clubs. Declarer
then tested the trrmps In order to
determine whether another club
finesse would be necessary, playing
first the ace of trumps and then
to the king. When trumps broke
favorably he led the last diamond
from dummy and ruffed with his
last trump. Dummy was then en-
tered with a heart and Vests last
trump was extracted with the nine
Of spades. Declarer thus lost two
clubs and diamond.
