At Happy Valley the seventh green,
New York, August 9th." A sensation was caused in lawn tennis which was low lying, and apoilt by the storm, has had to be remade. The circles to-day by the publication of P.W.D. have done a considerable amount report that Miss Elizabeth Ryan bad of work towards clearing the Happy followed the example of Mile. Lenglen Valley course and rendering it in a fit and accepted an offer of £20,000 to turn state for play again. There is still a professional. great deal to be done, however, before the course will be available to the junior section. As the Football Club will be requiring their ground at the Valley within another week or zo," the P.W.D. are at present concentrating their atten tion to this ground, and a large number of coolies are engaged in work here.. It is hoped, however, that once the, work is complete there that activity on the Volley Golf Course will be renewed, in view of the great deal still to be accom- plished.

opposite the spot where the boy is hidden he rushes out, reizes the pot, and dashes it in fragments over her head.
She and Mrs. Godfree, the present woman champion of Great Britain, rank second in skill to the incomparable Suzanne Lenglen,
Although Miss Ryan has won numerour championships, she has never won the women's championship at Wimbledon, but in partnership with Milo. Lenglen has won the women's doubles champion- ship five times at Wimbledon.

Major John Hay Beith (Ian Hay, the author) gave an after-luncheon address to the teachers attending the City of London Vacation Course at the Holborn Restaurant on August 9th4.
He said that his own early experiences taught him-he, was for some years a master at Fettes School, Edinburgh- that the first thing necessary in schoo! was discipline. Discipline inculcated in the British bay a certain pride in being kept in order. From that he passed to keeping himself in order, and later to keeping others in order.
