Though playing to-day without the services of Yew Man-kit, who has now given up competitive tennis, the C.R.C. should acquit themselves with credit in this needle match. Taui Wal-pui is part-vice and relies on a heavily cut nering Ho Ka-lau for the first time, and the No 1 pair should give the Rumjahn cousins a keen struggle.

Probable winners this afternoon will be the Chinese Recreation Club “A," the Hong Kong Cricket Club, the C.R.C. “B," Craigen gower and the Recreio.
