VICTORY.

ANNUAL MEETING OF ST. STEPHEN'S COLLEGE.
Success attended the annual sports of St. Stephen's College which wore held yesterday afternoon at Quean's College ground, and considerable NEW SINGLES WINNER, keennese was evinced by the competi
tors in all divisions. The prizes wore presented by Mrs. Chau Kwan-lam.
(By "Wanderer.") .......
Tennis enthusiasts warmly ap plauded a new singles champion of the Colony yesterday afternoon, when M. W. Lo had defeated S. A. Rumjahn in the final of the annual competition in straight seta. Per- hapa Lo's smart victory over Honda should have been taken a warning but few were of opinion that Rumjahn would succumb, and fewer expected Lo to put up such a brilliant all- round display. He deserved his success every inch of the way, get ting on top at the beginning and staying there.
RA
Lo won splendidly by three seta to love, and it is probable that he could have won no other way. Had the match been extended, I rather fancy Rumjahn would have palled It off for Lo was beginning in the middle of the third set to show the brief signs of distress for which | Rumjahn had been looking, HIA gallant rally to win the three Anal games in a row was, however, worthy of a champion, and nothing. can detract from the merit of his performance,
For two sets at least he was a model of accuracy, whether his stroke of the moment was a hard cross-court drive, or whether he was engaged in a swift volleying duel at the net Rumjahn's plan of campaign was to keep his adversary on the run as much as possible, but the positions were reversed more often than not, so flawless was Lo's placing.

It was magnificent tennis. Rum jahn took only nine of the 28 games, but this does not repre- sent a true balance. Not quite ab true in his placing as Lo, he brought off scores of brilliant shots, and his ground work was excellent. Overhead he was never the equal of Lo, who made excep- tionally few mistakes.
