Foley, who has just arrived from home, has also a big repactation, having fought for the Champion ship at Crystal Palace and already won a Fleet Championship. This bout is scheduled for fifteen rounds, and no doubt a keen and hard fight will be seen.
Two other bouts of eight rounds duration are also to be fought, one in the Heavyweights and the other in the Middleweights. In the form er, A. B. Shreeve (H.M.9, Keppel) will fight A.B. Long (H.M.S.

Those who saw him in action wore unanimous that H.D. played bis best game for many years, and if he had just Prossed his cousin at the stage when he was loading by 4-3 in the final set, it might have proved to his benefit. As matters stood, B. A. rallied at that important stage; and just managed to outplay his doubles partner.
S.A. made a good start by taking lend of 3-1. H.D. played magni fcently after this, and virtually outplayed his more experienced cousin in all departmente of the game. He employed side-line shots with telling effect, and delighted those present by sending over a con- sistent barrage of forehand drives, which found the corners of the court and by deep placements with his. backhand, which likewise ob- viously troubled S.A. His bril- liant play earned for him the set at 6-3, and he went on to win the first game of the second set, thus taking six games at a stretch.
