Steady play combined with better know- fedge of the game gave Major Pratt and Major, Stevenson a first round victory over Akiyama and Uno in the Open Doubles. The Japanese pair showed bet- ter combination in the first set and their smashing was deady: The set was very well fought out and each, won his service until the Japanese broke through Major Stevenson's service game at all, and secured the first set nt 5-6. But that was the turning point of the game. The mili tary pair won the next three sets and had control of the same by their stendi ness and they were more reliable in rallies than their opponents who, although doing some elever work, were erratie at times Major, Stevenson played a cool and re- sourceful game and won many points by good placements. Major Pratt did not combine with his partner so well as the Japanese, hut did, some pretty overhead work. The standard of tennis was not winners good, the strady play of the slowing the pace, in contrast to the ag gressiveness of the Japanese.

Newton and Broome qualified to meet Larkcum and Col. Russell Brown by de feating Major Edwards and Craig in three straight sets in the first round of the Open Doubles. The winners had the upper band throughout, bat were very wild at times and will have to do much better in order to win in their next round. For the losers Major Edwards playel 'the better game."
The match between the Hongkong Volunteer Defence Corps and the Hong- kong Cricket Club, on the latter's ground, was one of the matches which had to be abandoned by reason of Batur day's torrential downpour."

NO PLACK LIKE HOME.
Although Sir Harry has seen most of the wonders of the world, he still thinks there is no place like home.
There is only one London, he said, and only one Great Britain, and they enanot be beaten. There is only one Scotland; and, of course, there is no place in the world which can compare with that.
