The visitors, who have only been ist Trophy playing the game for about four cuit, months, have not, as yet, developed After man any finesse, but without exception, Down Count all the players on view showed dis- tinct promise. The best combina- tion, was H. Rodrigues and his brother F. Rodrigues, both of whom play a hard-hitting game and are very fast in covering the court. At the moment, however, they are rather lacking in the more delicate shots.

J. da Silva, a diminutive young- ster of 15, made up for his lack of inches by his enthusiasm and speed. He should, without doubt, develope into a very clever -expon- ent of the game.

At the conclusion of the match, small medals were presented to the winning team as a souvenir of the occasion.
