These remarks were recolved Wm. Powells miș with applause.
Miss Young Sau-king received an ovation when she stepped up for her prize.
A reasonable degree of equality of merit must accompany all good sporting events, but that equality does not exist in the Davis Cup competition as it is conducted at the present. Under a two-divisions scheme, the weaker nations would have the direct incentive of pro- motion before them, and there would be no such extremely one- sided matches as we have seen in recent years.Frank Pedom
