Of the four mutches played in the third round, three were very close affairs; in the remaining the, played at Sookunpoo, Ramsay was always ahead 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 beads before Luz won out by 21-19.

riched in any way by these!
Slowly but surely he re- duced the deficit and by the 14th head he had already drawn level at 12-12

CLOSE AFFAIR Another titanic struggle was that between G. II. Sherriff and C. F. Remedios, the former winning by 21-20 after 28 heads.
