In the ladies' doubles, the second pairs met; and Hong Kong also sue- ceeded, thereby drawing level with Shanghai, the visitors having captured two matches on Wednesday.

A variety of head wear was worn by the ladies. Miss T. Collaco, of Shang- hai, had a white "jockey's" cap and she preferred the bare leg style. Her part ner, Mrs. F. Stafford Smith, had an eyeshade. Mrs. Miles, of Hong Kong, bandeau and an eye- wore a breen shade. Mrs. James preferred an ordin. ary straw hat.

CHINA MAIL,

Too One-Sided

With the exception of sovoral bril- liant volleying rallies, which the Rum- johns usually won, there was not much In the match to enthuse over. It was too one-alder. Porhaps the classic dis- play at the C.R.C. a few weeks ago has made us a bit fastidious. At the beginning everything seemed to come off with the ultimate losers and they gained many points, especially Carnavarro wha got Across Bome lightning drives and clever backhand volleys. Lam, too, did good work at the net and was some points by a de- reptive drop shot similar to the one exploited by Vincent Richards when he was here. When 5-9 in favour of Shanghai was, hoisted it looked as if Hong Kong was to lose the first set. But the Shanghai pair had shot their hult and during the remainder of the match won only four games white their opponents took seventeen.

Bold and Bravery Refusing to be beaten the Rumjahas played bold and bralay tennis, lobbing (und ebbing well) at the right time, and driving between their opponents or down the unguarded side lines. To- ward the end of the first sat the North erners did lot of ranning about and both discarded their sweaters,

From the start of the second set it Wos obvious that pluss Lon and Carnavarro staged a wonderful come back Hong Kong was to win ? straight sets, for the Rumjahns were both in form and not likely to fall

away.

But the Shanghailanders did not or could not respend-the next two sets were processions and the match was over at five o'clock when scores of would-be spectators were hastening to the ground.

Dwelling on the project of the Commercial air service between the capital and the Yunnan pro- vince, Gen. Lau said that there will be two routes, one from Nanking to Yunnan through Kiangsu. Kinngsi, Hunan and Kweichow, while the other will be between Nanking and Yunnan with calls at Cheklang, Fukier, Kwangtung, Kwangsi and Kweichow.

According to Gen. Lau, the total sum required for completing the routes is estimated at about $3,000,- 000, and tentative plans mapping out the proposed routes have been prepared.

Summing up, the match, was well worth watching, being decidedly even and well contested, with the Navy a trifle unlucky in net forcing a draw to fight the battle again.'

Carnavarro started brilliantly and it looked as if he would win the first set off his own racquet for Shanghai. His service, driving, and back-hand volleys were a treat, but the pace proved tos fast for him and he fell away badly so that towards the end he was almost as unconvincing as his partner.

A one-sided game in which Hong Kong defeated Shanghai 8-6; 6-1; 6-2.
