PERSIAN OPIUM,
A British Conmilar report on the trade.
It has often been an interesting question, asya the London "Standard," for dis- cuasion as to what age, ensuming that no prolonged break has occurred in his career, a player should be at his best, His best time has frequently been put down as being from 27 to 30, the general opinion being that at this period a player best combines the physical and mental qualities necessary in the game. Such contention may more or less be true as to foreign exponents, but with regard to oor
own players the evidence of the last decade points to a pariod, some three or four years later.. Dne of the resen for this is to be found in the fact that our players start the non ab rivala. Banned as the game in xt moet of much later age than do our Continental

matter.
Mr. H. L. Doherty won the championship for the first time in 1902, in his twenty-sixth year, and he held the title 1906, when in his thirtieth year. It is safe to some that he was a score Bnished player in his last year than in any of the first three seasons in which he
