EXCITES CONNAUGHT RANGERS IN INDIA.
EXTRAORDINARY INCIDENTS.
Soma, July 4.
On the arrival of the last mail from England the Connaught Rangers got mach excited over accounts which reached them of recent events in Ireland... One fourth of the Battalion remained entirely loyal to the colonel but the remainder laid down their arms and surrendered their ammunition. While 'entirely respectful to their officers they regretted their inability to perform their duties. They declared that their sympathies were with their friends at home. They are now in a separate camp with another British regiment in charge. When this news reached a detachment at Solan in the Simla Hills, some men tried to seize arms and cartridges. The guard fired and two men were killed and one wounded. All is now quiet.

an experimental · first cutright, but the test came when, after set, Tilden settled down to plugging losers on the backhand relentlessly with a beavily chopped ball, which throughout the last three sets Patterson was seen to be netting consistently. Experts point out that Patterson's backhand was fundamentaily weak because he plays it with a forehand grip and forehand face racket.
