Hong Kong is, howover, quite prepared to accept Shangbai's suggestion and in all probability toe it will be carried out. In that case Dr. R. E. Tottendarn and E. C. Fincher will certainly take part in the Singles, while for the third match either Yew Man Kit or F. A.. Redmond will be selected. There is soms talk of playing Lieut. Hale, of H.M.S.

nec.

For the ladies, Mrs. Tottenham, Miss Enid Lo and Mrs. Miles will take part in the Singles Mrs. Tottenham and Lady Stuart Taylor will partner in the first doubles and Miss Lo and Mrs, Miles in the other. This was the arrangement made before the team left the Colony two days ago, but if only two Singles and one Doubles were played, then Mrs. Tottenham and Mias Enid Lo will be engaged in Singles and Mrs. Miles and Lady Stuart. Taylor will play in the Double. As a team, the ladies will prove, relatively, a stronger com bination than the men and their prospects of beating Shanghai are certainly better and it is confidently expected locally that the ladies will win.

The opposition has not, hit the time of writing, been announced. Little is known locally of the ladies, while of the men three players stand out prominently, These are Wade, Carnavarro and Rasmussen who will in all probability represent Shanghai in the Singles. Wade is an old band at the game and has been champion of Shanghai off and on. for many years, besides having been an Interporter several times. He played a memorable match in Shang- hai against Toba, the Japanese star
