J. Hunter at its head. It is not the easiest thing in the world to arrange a bridge party as large as this, but last evening there was not a single hitch. Contract and auction bridge players, those who were playing 500, and others for whom cards had no lure, were all catered for. novel deck games and competitions being arranged for the entertainment of the last class.
