I * JOHN COLTER was a soldier with the Lewis and Clark expedition that in 1805 set out to explore the Oregon Territory. The following year he established a trading post at Big Horn River and went south in search of fur animals. Somewhere on this lone journey Colter encountered a band of hostile Indians and wandered many miles out of his way to save his scaip. finally stumbling upon the beautiful Yellow stone Park region. In the spring of 1810 he returned to St. Louis and looked up Capt. Clark. Colter effervesced in his descriptions of the Grand Canyon of the Yellow stone, of the beautiful Tower Pails and of Mount Washburn—scenic won ders never before visited by white man. Clark politely listened, but his amaz ing story was too fantastic for the public to accept. Colter's closest friends branded the stories false, believing them the product of his imagination. Hie name "Colter’s Hell’’ w-as given to the district, and little was thought of the matter for years. Then, strange as it seems, the beauties of the section were rediscovered by other explorers, and Colter’s claims were justified. -• Winning Contract By THE FOUR ACES. Duplicate Scores. QNE of the mo6t interesting hands for variety of results occurred in a duplicate game at New York's Cavendish Club recently. The “swings" varied all the way from East and We6t making four hearts doubled to North and South making a grand slam in diamonds <although they bid only six). Duplicate. North dealer. Neither side vulnerable. Final contract: Six clubs doubled. * 3 ¥ 10 8 4 * A K J 10 3 * K 8 7 2 * K 6 5 *9874 * A K J n ¥ Q 9 7 6 * 864 W+E 532 * Q J 10 5 S ♦ 5 2 * - * A Q J 10 2 ¥ - * Q 9 7 * A 9 6 4 3 It might be well to explain how one East player made four hearts doubled. South made the unfortunate selection of the ace of clubs for his opening lead. East, of course, trumped, and later played the queen of clubs through North, thereby establishing two tricks on which he discarded his two losing diamonds. The best final contract for North and South is six diamonds. With a heart opening one North player made seven. Dummy trumped the heart and followed with the ace and queen of spades. West refused to cover, and Declarer discarded a heart. Another spade lead dropped West's king. De clarer trumped, then ruffed his last heart in dummy. Declarer then over took dummy's queen of diamonds, drew trumps, re-entered dummy with the ace of clubs and discarded two small clubs on the two good spades. The most amazing result, however, occurred when South made a con tract of six clubs doubled, although his West opponent held two apparently sure trump tricks. Declarer trumped the opening heart lead, played the ace of spades and followed with the queen. West covered with the king, Declarer trumped in dummy, trumped another heart in his hand, cashed three diamond tricks and then trumped dummy's last heart. Declarer next cashed the jack of spades, but when he followed with another spade, West trumped with the 10 of club6. Declarer, who had played the entire hand on the assumption that West held all four trumps, now let his opponent hold the trick. Now West found himself on lead holding only the queen, Jack, small of trumps, with no possible way to win another trick. (Coprricht, 1838.) Solution to Yesterday's Puzzle.
