Enjoyable as those parties were, they did maiKe a lot of work for the ladies as the games were usually preceded by sump- tuous full -course dinners. Some will remember these gala af- fairs with nostalgia and regret that they were not continued. Many bridge players here will remember one bridge -party dinner where indi',idual roast pheasants were served to each of the 40 guests! Four present members of the Wingham Bridge Club will re- call too, a delightful bridge - luncheon held in Wingham back in the twenties when 16 ladies sat down to a table spread with an exquisitely embroidered ma- deira banquet cloth upon which were priceless Dresden cande- labra and centrepiece of Dres- den cupids holding fragrant tea roses and forget-me-nots! Each setting was a Royal Crown Derby and sterling and for many present it was their first intro- duction to crystal finger -bowls and bridge! It is hard to say whether the ladies tired first of preparing such elaborate dinners and serving them in long, trailing dinner gowns of chiffon, satin, velvet or lace, or whether the men wearied first and rebelled at struggling into starched shirts and tuxedo jackets once or twice every week: With considerable foresight, Mr. French suggested that duplicate bridge games be held in a rent- ed place -- and so the Wing - ham Bridge Club was formed and for the first several years played in the Masonic Hall. Those who liked congenial- ity, social amenities and fine food and some who played bridge only when a gun or at least a clenched fist was aimed at their ribs, dropped out. Those fascinated by duplicate attended regularly, sitting un- complainingly on hard un- cushioned chairs and playing across bare, varnished tables "garnished" only with tin ash trays! The first game of the Wing - ham Duplicate Bridge Club was held in the Masonic Hall the first week of October, 1936. At this meeting Mr. French was elected president and George Mason appointed secretary. The winners of the firsteve- ning's play were: North and South: Mrs. Murray Johnson and Dr. A. R. Du Val. East and West: Mrs. C. Kingan and George Mason. During the CROWN THEATRE HARRISTON WED.THUR.-FRI: SAT. MAY 13-14-15-16 "TAKE HER, SHE'S MINE" Mothers, fathers, teeners, every- body—laughs galore!

Taking top honours this year were: Centre, William Wharry, of Lucknow, and Mrs. Harvey Fisher, Wingham, who were presented with the trophies by last year's winners, Bill Laidlaw, left, and Mrs. Donald Nasmith, right. The small keeper trophies held by the winners were donated by Charles Hodgins and W. H. French. Mrs. Reg. DuVal and Mrs. F. Forgie were tied for second place in the ladies' division and Harley Crawford and W. H. French were second and third in the men's section. first season, games were played twice monthly and the average attendance was thirty. (61 ta- bles.) In January 1938, two beau- tiful trophies were donated to the Club. The ladies'trophy was given by H. C. Hodgson and the men's trophy was do- nated by W. H. French. The first winners of these beautiful trophies were Mrs. R. S. Heth- erington and Harley Crawford. Each season since then, play-offs in May have been held to decide the club cham- pions. These play-off games are eagerly loo:(ed forward to and always keenly contested. Saturday is conceded to be Hockey Night across Canada but from OCto, er to May, Thursday night is bridge night in Wingham. INTER -CLUB COMPETITION In 1939 the first inter -club match between Wingham and Goderich clubs was held and return matches between these clubs have been held -Tactic- ally every year since wen. Challenge games occasionally are played between Wingham, Mitchell and Stratford. Mr. French and Mrs. Craw- ford have played in open pairs thatches held in Toronto and have placed very high in these and both of these Wingham members have earned an envi- ous number of Master bridge points. Many old friends are missed from the Club and many new members have joined and been made sincerely welcome. All members were pleased that this year two of the newer members, Mrs. Harvey Fisher of Wingham and William Wharry of Lucknow were the trophy winners, and are now the reigning club champions. It is hoped their success will encourage others interested in bridge to join and enjoy the keen games which will he play• ed again next season in the Firemen's Recreation Room at the Fire Hall beginning in Oc- tober. The membership fee is only $1.50 with an attendance charge of 25¢ for each evening of play. The members of the Wing - ham bridge club will not al- ways agree as to how a hand of bridge should be bid or play- ed but they will all agree that from October to May, Thursday evening is the one they look forward to most each week. Over the years many mem- bers have worked hard for the success of the club.
