MacDonald, of course, was the hero of the day, both on account of his two brilliant finishes and his two distinguished victims: He was rather a dark horse before Sunday, and not very much was mown of his form, but he is in the limelight now with a venge ance. His morning match against Andrewes picked as the best of the first round some time ago. which was not very difficult.

that their great superiority was evident. They could only score once in the first half, though a slope of which they might have made more use was in their favour. The Chartered Bank might have gone ahead early in the second half, when they kept up a continuous pressure on the home line, but subsequently they were overplayed:
