When the entries were announced, the Kowloon B.G.C. rink of W. L. Walker, H. White, A. Hyde-Lay and A. J. Hall was expected to go far; but against J. Gellatly, J. Hollidge, L. A. Collyer and J. F. McGowan, of the Civil Service, it was beaten by 18-14.
If the defeat of Hall's rink was unexpected, the failure of H. A. Alves' rink (L. J. Silva, A. M. Rodrigues and F. V. V. Ribeiro) against W. J. Penney, F. X. Delgado, W. McNeill and E. Zimmern was an even greater surprise.

It was hoped that the postponed matches of last week in the Open Patra Championship would be com- pleted this week and so enable the second round to be started.. But this is not to be. The weather is still far too freakish to allow the Sub- Committee to take anything for granted.
