The resail of the 1st event for Cruisers which should have taken place on Sunday, February 20th, is now down for sailing on Sunday next. I believe the startera are to be asked to sail the race with no time limit. The Sailing Committee are anticipating that in sheer cussedness the pixies, when they learn of this condition, will end of wind. The Cham pionship is still open, with U and 1. 38 points leading Coquette by 3 and La Cigale by 8 points, Feathers and Norseman are tied for 4th place with 23 points,

Lo was evidently, the more ex porfenced player and he won many points by his naderstanding of the science of the game, Ele relied mainly on driving and often killed Fincher's returns at the nat, but was himself many times passed down the side lines. He did more running about and was feeling the strain of the match at the end.
The game opened very fast and from two all, Fincher brought the score to 5-9 and then won the first set at e-3. The Second set was the best of the match. Both players were at their best and each won his service in the first ten games At - Fincher broke through Lo's service and won the set at 7-3 Lo fell off after this and Fincher ran away with a lend of 4-1 lead in the third set; and eventually wen it at 6-3
