PREPARING FOR SEMI-FINALS: PROGRAMME FOR THIS WEEK.
EAST SIXTEEN IN OPEN DOUBLES.
BY "SALADIN."
So much progress has now been mado in the two Open Champion ship Events that it is hoped by the organisers to fill all the last eight positinis before Easter. A heavy programme has been drawn up, which bids fair to provide interest ing matches daily from to-day to Thursday.
AH the loading, players, with the exception of E. C. Fincher who has forget ahead in both events, will be soon in action this week and as the competitions have now reached a stage in which individual form is considered one of the greatest fas tors in the struggle for honours, their performances will, bo closely watched, and wilk to a large ex- tent, influence those followers of the game who are trying to judge, who will eventually win.
To-day. S. A. Rumjahn will be opposed to. Yow Man Kit, and although the former will probably win, a very good match ought to be seen. In the Open Doubles, interest will centre on the match between the Lo Brothers and L. T. Ride and A. L. Sullivan. in which a fine struggle should result in the former winning by n smali margin. Segalen and Walsham, who did very well in defeating Marton and Owen Hughes in the second round. are ex pected to beat W. M. Barton and A. CI. Bowker.

Recently the horse of a foreign" resident of Shanghai who has since died, was shop by Chinese soldiers. A complains was lodged with Ma- yor W to which he replied as fol- lowa:-
At the sight of a horse gallop-

direction, uur men shot at it bo- cause they were, under the appra hension that by the use of ani mals to curry dangerous substan- cos, the enemy was attempting to break into our defence sectors."
This was addressed to a Consular Authority who commented as fol

This statement of the Chinese viewpoins should bo given careful consideration. It is well-known that during the European War snipers on both sides disguised Chemselves as tree trunks, piles of snow, etc. What more natural, therefore, than that the Chinese soldiers, awaiting with tense nor- ves the anomy's attack, should be- love, that a wildly careoning ani- mal was in reality two enemies disguised as a horse. It is of

course to be regretted that a mini take was made, but we should not unduly blame the innocent soldi-| ers who believed that they were being attacked, and who no doubt during the conrse of their mili tary education, had become ac quainted writh the Grecian strategy before the walls of Troy,
Horse Sense;
There is another point which must be considered. The acumen of horsea is legendary, from which has arisen the phrase " Horse. Bence." Is it not possible, there fore that the animal in question, possessed of n premonition of the impending fate of his mastor, might have dashed into the enemy lines determined to die an hon ourable death and be waiting for hia master in the beyond. This of course wo cannos answer, but I believe that if we could com- mune to-day with the souls of the horse and his master, we migh ascertain that the two are reunit ed and are even now galloping happily over the Elysian helde."
In view of the abavo and in. view of the difficulty we would k experience in proving to the Chin-}} ese military authorities that tha l borse was really a horse and not: two enemies in disguise, and in view of the fact at the chief
