Excerpt from Auction High-Lights: With a Full Exposition of the Nullo Count The world mo ves fast, and the Auction world is not a step behind the rest of it. There is needed, therefore, a further chronicle of the recent growth and development of the game. If you want to be up-to-date, your Auction, like your motor-car, must be this year's model. It gives me distinct pleasure to be able to say that in these pages I do not find myself obliged to alter, or contradict, a single statement made in either of my former books, The Fine Points of Auction Bridge, and The Development of Auction Under the New Count. Numerous questions were under discussion when I wrote them; but, in each instance, I was sufficiently fortunate to take a position which time has justified, and from which there has been no occasion to retreat. Nor do I repeat here any of the information which I have given before. I merely record the growth of Auction and the additional matter which a year has brought forth. My previous books form the base of which this is the super structure. Much of my material has already appeared in The New York Times. The test-hands have been sent me from all parts of this country and several of them came from Europe. I have selected those which have aroused the greatest interest and discussion amongst readers of The Times on both sides of the ocean.
