A correspondent writing to the JC. Daily News from Chenchow, Hunan, says:
About a month ago Song Hong-vin's army crossed through the extreme south- ern end of this province, entering at the Kiangsi site, near Nuchen and phased through Ichang, Liwu, Lansan and Ngan- Wha. From there it divided and one half went south and the other half west to Kweilin in Kwangsi. They cleaned up the country for a distance of froin two to three on each side of the road, took all they could lay their hands on and commandeered the men that could carry, to carry it away with them. Two thou aand men were taken from ichang county alone, some have not yet returned and many never will, for they died on the rond. The local gentry" raised $100 and sent a man to Lansin to provide road money for the return trip of those who could not get back. It is stated that still nearly 20 men from this county havd not yet returned,

Various reasons were given as to Ng's poor exhibition, and amongst these there are no outstanding. The first is that it is the off, season and our champion is busily engaged in other kinds of sport; principally cricket, and that he at the present moment, is out of practice. The other reason is-and it appears to be a sound one when one thinks of Ng'a prin- cipal faults in yesterday's match,-that Spalding's balle were used for the match and not Slazenger's with which Ng is. accustomed to play. The balls used were hard court balls and right through yesterday's two sets it was very noticeable that most of the points scored against Ng were forehand and backhand drives, driven just six inches behind the base line. The difference in the balls used may have accounted for this.

The match itself was very tame through- out, for the Japanese mastered his oppon- ent completely, and the play was very one sided. From the commencement hu bed" the advantage and many of the games were love games in his favour. Once or twice the score rose to deuce, but Tho the Japanese had nothing to fear. visitor's style of play was different to anything we sue here.
Thore was wrist work, but be sessed to use his whol body in making his drives He held his racket stiff and the arm was flexible, as is usually the case with most players. His services to some extent reminded opo vory much of M. W. Lo'a serving- a cer- tain bracing of the whole body before the racket we brought into play. His smash- ing was also peculiar; most of his kille. being taken at a very low angle, just akimming the top of the net. The score For this match was 6-0, 6-0.
A much better game was witnessed be tween M. W. Lo and Kashio. At times Lo made his opponent go all the way before he could secure the game. Unfor tunately the crowd had left the Club ground before this match was played, but bad they remained they would have wit posed much better tennis. MW. Lo was. in good form and secured a game in each got, tho final score being 6-1, 6-1.
