He stated that the death of the President is à grave national calamity, and brings with it a feeling of the deep sorrow of "overy Anterican.

Before the "priza. presentation Mr. J. C. Fletcher, Secrütary of the Tennis League, called upon Mr. J, R: Wood, Vice-President of the League lo address the gathering.
Mr. Wood said he was sure all would agree with him that they were very fortunate in carrying out the engagement with such slight | interruptions as there had heen from the weather with the typhoon approaching the Colony. The only regret which be and others felt dur ing the afternoon was at the ab. i sence of Dr. Forsyth, President of the League, who should have given away the Shield, of which he was the donor. Dr. Forayth had! done a great deal for the League. Referring to the good work per- formed by Mr. Fletcher as Secro- tary of the Lengue, Mr. Wood said. that except those behind the scenes he did not think anybody knew thes valuable, services rendered by the Mr. Coolidge's first official net was to sign a proclamation making Secretary during the season.

Rakovsky was due to start to London to resume his new duties, the outcome of which was that M. Rakovsky's departure was postponed.

Wood thanked the Indian Recrea-1
beating The Rest team in the ex- hibition match. Thoir wia WAS well deserved. The Club's success was all the more gratifying by reason of the fact that it was accomplished at a time when the tennis form was very good. Tennis players in Hongkong bad done something which followers of other branches of sports, had not been able to do; they won the Interport inurels with fair consistency. In fact they had never been beaten by Shanghai.

Discussing the Singapore scheme, the Temps declares that the base is intended for protection against Japan, but it is not Australia or British commercial interests in China which it is desired to proClub and be hoped that shortly tect, but rather intorests west of Singapore. The present aspect of Asia gives Britain good cause to be anxious, and she needs to erect a barrier between the two halves of a continent which is in ferment. The Temps adds that Britain, in order to send her feet to Singapore, must be mistress of the Mediterranean, which does not simplify the problem of Tangier and the future of Rhodes.
