INTERESTING LECTURE TO ENGLISH ASSN.
A FAMOUS JUDGMENT BY JUDGE JEFFREYS;
There was a large audience last night at a meeting of the English Association when a very interesting and instructive paper on "Judicial English" was read by Mr. H. C. Macnamara.
Dr. Alma Sundquist, on being invited to speak, said that Elong Kong was inost wonderful city and one of the most beautiful spots. in the world. She referred to the different types of peopk, different methods of dress, living and eating, and said that she thought that these people might be influenced by moderri science
and technique. Modern communications and mo dern hygiene had changed the con dition of life to a very high degree Mr. Macnamara said, inter afins. in their fight against epidemica.

Are those who have the interest of British lawn - tennis at heart going to wake up at long last and face the fact that Great Britain is to now a first-class Power in the lawn tennis world?
It would almost seem so, judging. from the proceeding at the annual
overal meeting of the Lawn Tea- Bis Association, held in London,
The keynote of the meeting was o desire to expend money and energy in conching young players both in the clubs and at the schools.
The tenor of the speeches was all in favour of such a movement being
made at once.
Lord Desborough, one of the greatest all-round sportsmen in the country, said: "Boys at the publié schools should take up lawn tennis, a strentous game.
