Winning the first set without the loss of a game seemed to indicate Tilden's downfall, but after a further twenty's minutes' play the Ameri- can squared matters, taking the second set at 6-4.

Borotra electrified the specta tors with his deep driving and his advances to the net, and the dazzling acrobatic feats which he performed in returning well- placed balls. He took the third set at 6-4.
His prodigious energy, how. ever, failed him after the first three sets, and Tilden, serene and cool, crushed him with perfectly placed shots all over the court. The American took the fourth set without the loss of a game and, after a thrilling final set, which went to twelve games, ran out winner at 7-6.

China Navigation Co.'s Test Case.
London, Yesterday. The Evening News learns that the China Navigation Company served a writ on the Attorney General to test the legality of the Government's action in imposing a charge on shipowners for the protection of ships in Chinese waters.--- Reuter.
[The above information will undoubtedly come as news to shipowners in the Colony. It should be borne mind that
the Head Office of the China Navigation Company is in Lon- don, At the moment it is not possible definitely to a8- certain whether the Everling News is correct or not.
In fact, it is yet to be learn-
ed whether the Home Govern- ment have actually imposed a charge .on shipowners, ns stated. If such should be the case, there geems to be no other alternative but to pay it. But so far as Hong Kong is concerned, It was generally un- derstood .that the White Russian contingent of the Police Force had been special. ly recruited for the anti-piracy work. It is also known that some of the new guards have already commenced their duties, the first trip being to Singapore.
Under the circumstances, the local public will await fur- ther developments with consi- derable Interest.]
