LONDON, July 1. Londoners were to-day afforded an interesting spectacle, seeing and comparing types of various nations' lifeboats gaily decorated and moored in the Thames. This pageant is in connection with the International Conference on the occasion of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution centenary celebrations. Sir Godfrey Baring, presiding at the opening, appreciatively referred to the presence of Count Kozo Yoshii, who had travelled spm Japan to be present.

The International Lifeboat Conference passed a resolution in accordance with the suggestion of Count Kozo Yoshii, urging all maritime countries not possessing a lifeboat service to organise one and favouring the establishment of an international feboat organisation on the lines of the Red Cross Society. The resolution is being sent to the League of Nations.

Williams' defeat of Kingscote was due to the American's deadly drives to the baseline and corners.

Barotra dispossessed Richards of the cham- płonship, which was generally regarded as his for the playing. Richards" was non-plussed at Borotra's tactics which neutralised Richard's driving powers and kept him at the pathetic task of lobbing back. The American won four of the first five games, Borotra won the next five for set. In the second Borotra lost many aces in the net. In the third Borotra won six games running, winning a love set. He led 2-0 in the fourth and kept the American running. He placed skilfully in the sideline corners and was a dominant and purpose ful aggressor to the end.

In the second round, Gilbert and Miss McKane beat Lycett and Miss Ryan the holders of the mixed doubles, by 6-4, 1-6, 8'6.
