(To the Editor of the China Mail).

Sir, Mutilation, by one of your printers has upset the purport of an important paragraph in my letter which you so kindly insert-

what I had intended was not this:-

Re tennis exhibitiont-Why should Ng Ste-kwong be asked to play three matches when Honda only appears in the singles on one day? Honda is champion. I have it on good authority that our ex-champion played O'Callaghan to one set ad shortly after the latter's arrival. In this may be found the explanation of Ng Sze- kwong's absence from the tournament. Tottenham ought to prove an attraction as he ist a newcomer and O'Callaghan deserves to play all he can' as he is the only one likely to " play one or two of the doubles matches?. On reputation they... deserve the honour but it may be due to their being, as a pair, in the tournament, still in the doubles championship.
