Green certainly demon- strated that he was the better and more experienced player. Playing from the bass line, as he always does, be kept his young opponent ranning from one side of the court to the other, beating him very often by side line drives.

Another match that attracted a good deal of attention that between Col.. Russell Brown and T. Ema in the same event. The Military man fittingly showed superior general- ship
and was always on the affen- sive." His sliced shots were very efective and he often followed then up to the net to kill. The Japanese stayed throughout at the base line and put up a very sound defence. His back hand was particularly safe, but his returns were much too weak to win many points. Col.. Russell Brown won by three sets to
one.

MESSRS. WM. POWELL'S RANSACKED.
BURGLARY. ON SATURDAY NIGHT.
Until stock-taking, which is now ir progress, has been completed, an estimate of the things stolen from Messrs William Powell's shop on Saturday night cannot be made. The thieves, who were obviously dis turbed while at work,
escaped, and so far have not been arrested.
Things stolen included hats, shoes and furs, and when the discovery was made, some articles done up in bundles for removal were found.
Mr. W. S. Drake discovered the robbery when he visited the shop or Sunday. He tried to enter by the front door but after unlocking it found that it was bolted on the inside. This struck Mr. Drake as unusual but concluding that the door had been balted by another member of the staff who had gona in bofore him, he knocked repeat- edly. Not receiving any reply, Mr. Drake forced the door.
Inside he found the shop in con- fusion. Collar boxes and their con- tenta were strewn all over the floor
in the gentlemen's department, while in the ladies' department dresses and other Teminine wear had been thrown about the flour... A safe in the office upstairs was left intact.
Later it was found that the thieves had got in by the lavatory door opening into the furnishing department at the side of the build. 29 ing overlooking a lane-bounded by the Bank of East Asia. Entry from the street had been efected, by breaking two small windowe on the lone side of the lavatory.
