He starts the return journey reading the evening paper but is generally asleep by the time the train arrives at Elizabethport. - --------------------------------------------------- Each night in the rear of the last smoker of the 4.52 from New York is continued a game of auction bridge which started over six years ago. The game starts in Jersey City and ends as the train pulls into Red Bank. The players include Harold James of Fair Haven; Harold Bowen of Shrewsbury; Richard Strong and Brownig Wilson of Red Bank. Occasionally A.E. "Tony" Russell of Red Bank sits in to make the fourth hand when one of the boys is detained at the office. More to come....... Debbie
