ARRANGING FOR A CARNIVAL
TENNIS TOURNAMENT.
From the Manila C'ablencies of the 27th ult. wa take the following:-
Champion E. S. Gee, the howly appointed chairman of the tonuis committee of the Philip pine Carniel Association, has lost no time in laying plana for the biggest event in toanis that has ever been held in the Far East,
Already communications have been sent to Boala Wright. MeLoughlin, Larued, Bundy, Long and others of the leading American players with a view to persuading them to muke the trip to Manila next February and participate in the contest for the championship of the Orient, Mr. Gee has also taken the matter up with the Australasian tean is association offering inducements to Brookes, Wilding, Dunlap and other experts from the Antipodes to attend and compete.
Those men are the best players in the world to-day and their advent here would mean the same as a schedule of games between the Athletics" and the Chicago Cubs in a world's championship series, or an aviation contest. It would be a drawing card in the afternoon at the time when the attendance is generally slight and would insure increased
receipts.

RED TAPE AT ITS' WORST.
A
An amusing instance of Gerraan red tape is recorded in the Frankfurther Zeitung, few weeks ago a little boy naused himself by tearing up four ten pfening (pory) stumps, and the father asked at the post office whether bo could have them exchanged. The official thero said that only stampe, to the value of at least one mark (100 pfrning) could be exchanged, and suggested that the man should wait-antil more stumps were destroyed. Instead of ding this the father purchased six mare stamps, and after tearing them handed the lot to theofficial, who gravely exchanged them for ten new ones.
COLERIDGE IN THE RANKS. ·
In his young days the post ('obridge had a little love affair which ended in disaster, for the lady refused him. In despair he enlisted in u cavalry regiment, which he hoped would be ordered on foreign ortice, that he night end bis blighted career on the tented fuld. For family reasons he dropped his correct name, but, from a foaling of sentiment, retained the initials; so Samuel Taylor Coleridge as the Weekly Telegraph reminds us) became Private Bins Tompkins Camberbatch. The regiment did not leave the country, and it was not long before bis son wearied of barrack life, and its utter absence of romance. His military life ended in a carious fashion.
A HAPPY GREEK QUOTATION, One day, while Coleridge was doing a weary Bentry-go, two officers strolled past. Ono of them made use of a Greek quotation, which the other corrected. The first insisted on his cor positive rectness, while the other was just ax he was wrong.
