Up to thin wok, however, it was hoped that a Jadion' team night minke the trip, and Shanghai were asked if they would care to stage n Indiea' Interport.
PHILIPPINES VERY KEEN.
A reply has been received, In which the Shanghai L.T.A., regret their inability to do this, so that the Shanghai-Hongkong interport is once again shelved, at least for a few months. ·
In the meantime, the Philippines have expressed anxiety to be in- cluded in these tennis Intenighte And request from the Philippine Lawa Tennis Association for such a consideration, has been favour ubly

Anderson, in an advertisement announcing that they would appear in matches to which an admission fee would be éharged. A letter was received from Willard disclaiming any knowledge of the tournament.

Hongkong yesterday figured prominently. but not too successfully in the Empire Games lawn bowls contests at White City. Arthur Hyde-Lay, our champion, played two singles matches, losing the first to Macdonald of Canada by a wide margin, but covering himself in glory by beating Keys of New Zealand. Earlier in the day, Keys had suffered defeat at
the hands of Baker, the Rhodesian player.
Hyde-Lay played magnificently to win his second match by 21-19, and it recorded Hongkong's first success in the Games.
Fred Rapley and Cooper played fine fighting bowls in their pairs encounter against Hutchinson, and Lang- ford of Canada, and were only beaten by three shots after a clever exhibition of bowls.
Hongkong's rink, comprising Ramsay, J. F. McGowan, G. H. Sherriff and Hughie Nish (skip), suffered two reverses. In the first match they lost rather heavily to the Canadian rink by 19-10, but later they gave a fine account of themselves against New Zea- land, losing only by 18-16.
