odds are slightly in favour of the home team, who boast of the two strongest pairs in the Colony in the Rumjahn cousins and C. A. L. Rumjaha and J. A. E. Cassum- bhoy. They alone should carry the Indians to victory, but it would not do for the Sookunpoo crowd to be over-confident, as the Chinese have two very formidable pairs in the Lo and Ng brothers.

In the 8" division, there are also two very good games, and these are between the Chinese and Indian Recreation Clubs against U.S.R.C. and R.ES.C. respectively. Very probably the first two will win, but they will have to fight hard for every set. The full pro- gramme of matches will be under:
