The winner gave the best per- formance scen of him for a very! long time. The match was fought out mainly from the--baseline and long drives along the side lines and across the court were the main fea ture.

EXHIBITION MATCH.

The terms suggested for the proposed game to be played at Caroline Hill on Easter Monday were approved. His determination proved a great by the Council and the following. "Lactor in his success, and as it can were chosen to represent the Nest be said without fear of contradition of the Colony."-Clarke (Police); that before the match he doubted Dodshon (Small Units), Baker his ability to beat the Japanese, (Navy); Everest (K.0.8.B.), Oram he was contented, at first, with (Police).

In this way he Goldman (Club), Kornick (Navy), showed up splendidly in the third Butcher (Somersets). and fourth sets and his perform-; ance in taking four and five gaines at a stretch respectively in the third and fourth sets, is indeed a very fine one.
Honda's exhibition was not near ly as. consistent as Lo's. At times, he placed and hit with the ac curacy and judgment that won for him previous championships, but he disappointed at the critical mo ments. His chief fault, however, was his weak delence. He attack ed well, but when pressed he found himself incapable of returning his opponents' shots, invariably losing the stroke or sending a feeble shot. for Lo to kill.
