Two matches went the whole dis- tance and were concluded in semi- darkness. The only game on Mon- day which went to three sets was finished under similar conditions and I feel that competitors would be advised, in their own interests, to try and make a point of start ing their games earlier.

In this connection they would save a considerable amount of time if they made arrangements for um- pires beforehand, instead of hoping. to pick one up on the ground!
