Owing to the wet wonther during. the past week, most of the tennis matches arranged for Saturday and Wednesday were onlled off with the result that there is really nothing to write about in my notes this
wask.
I hope, however, that the weather will be kind to-morrow as there are mo less than fourteen games on the programme and it would be a pity if these had to be postponed also. Tho fall programme is as follows:

In each of the above games, the home teams are given first and on paper they should all win. The most interesting game perhaps will be the one between the Indiana and Kowloon Cricket Club, which should be a close one.
