CONTRACT BRIDGE
WORLD CONTEST PLAYED, Games in connection with the Worlcf Contract Bridge Olympic were played at the Pacific Club last, evening, when 16 players competed in a competition held simultaneously in more than 36 countries. The seal on the 16 hands to be played by each contestant was broken'before an independent committee. The contest was inaugurated with outstanding success by tho National Bridge Association last year, but Auckland bridge players did not compete owing to the arrangements being incomplete. Success or failure wdl depend on the player's own efforts. A par score for each hand has been determined, which is known only to the tournament committee, and each pair will be graded on each deal on the basis of one par point for perfect bidding and play.
