THE SWAN PEN VELLUM THE NEW PAPER FOR USE WITH FOUNT PENS.
SWAN PEN VELLUM is no ordinary paper under a new name; it is specially milled and surfaced to give a smoothness for writing without conscious effort, yet has that character of surface to avoid a slippery feeling. It takes the ink from the gold nib but does not have a trace of sponginess. It handles as a quality paper should, and folds without cracking. It has been tested and approved by Fountain Pen..... experts who are in close touch with the needs of the writing public.

On account of the soft-state of the Kowloon Hongkong Cricket Club ground, the Hongkong Police South Chian matches between the Philippines Davis Cup Team and Hongkong arranged for yesterday had to be cancelled, but the Committee of the Ladies Recreation Club stepped into the breach and very hos pitably opened their courts Filipinos.
Owing to pressure of business, Honds, who would have met Barredo, Singles Champion of the P.I., was unable to play, but a very fast doubler match was witnessed between the Aragon Brothers and the Rumjahas resulting in a win for the Davis Cup pair by three sets to
one.
The standard of play was higher than what is seen in the Championships, now going on and it was a battle of tactics from beginning to the end In court- craft and combination, however, the local pair showed up better, but the Filipinos more than made up for this by their cannon-like abots which Hongkong sel dom sees. The service of the Aragons n marked superiority over their opponents' and with this advantage they very often kept the Rumjahos back Francisco showed up very well at smash-

The Club took the lead after about seventeen minutes play. Simuns beat Rodger with an oblique shot, and Spary running in made certain by helping the ball into the net. At the interval, Kow- loon were leading by the only goal scored,
