Of the four matches played in the third round, three were very close affairs; in the remaining tie, played at Sookumpoo, Ramsay was always nhead of J. Cavanagh and won by 21-13-the most comfortable victory of the day.
Play of a very high standard was seen in the encounter between Luz and A. K. Minu on the Civil Service C. C. green, the game going to 23 hends before Luz won out by 21-10. As a matter of fact, Luz had only 10 when Minu reached 19, but he played very well in the last three heads to register two twos and single terminate the match.

A peculiar feature of the tie was the fact that Luz started his scoring with two fours and a two, and al- though each man claimed three heads of the first six played, the Recreio player led 10-4. But Minu was not disheartened in any way by these reverses Slowly but surely be re-

A.A.A. TITLES
BUT WOODERSON MASTER OF THEIR WONDER MILER
By Fred Dartnell
London, July 18.
The uncertain weather could not damp the enthusiasm of the public and there were fully 30,000 spectators who saw the final stages of the A.A.A. Championships at the White City. It is our proud boast that these championships are open to the world and it is quite in accordance, therefore, with this free-for-all policy that out of the 21 championships at stake nine, should have fallen to foreign competitors.
A brilliant meeting on the whole and the outstanding feature was the triumph of the Italians, who carried away six titics. Bevincqua's brilliant forin in the six miles on Friday was emulated in the 400 yards relay, in which the Burazea Milano and Gber- dan Milano clubs gained the first two pluces,
