The ex-champion showed considerable improvement on his previous performances this season; delighting the gallery with. a fine exhibition of net play, his smashing being particularly effeo tive.

Play on the whole was fast, and snappy exchances made the match interesting to watch. The winners played with endence, showed good understanding and forced the pace which become a trifle too fast for the losers, who, however, put up a stern fight for the second set. Hung showed up to advan. tage at this stage, sending over

many pretty winning shots which cheated his confident opponents. His forehand driving and volleying were nicely executed and pretty, to watch Chiu did not give his part ner sufficient support, and the winners concentrated their attack on bim.

Goldman and Fincher, last year's runners-up, had matters much their own way against Monoghan and Holmes, in the second round, while Wright and Gamble are to be con- gratulated on their success in en- tering the third round where they meet Fincher and Goldman.

The debate was oponed by the French representative M.

just now.. At this congress the Italian and British delegates to way and road transport in their day outlined the fight between rail respective countries and the fact that this rivalry had re- sulted in improvements in both me. thods. The French delegate express ed the opinion that the railways would always deal with the bulk of the traffic despite the manifold ad- vantages of road-transport. The Amarican representative called for a worldwide effort of the motorists

in their respective countries to re-

duce the load of taxation of cars as this constituted a brake on the

wheels of economic progress.

M. Tardieu, who un former occa sions aired similar plans and was consequently by his opponente de- nounced for his pains as an enemy of the people expresses strong re- sentment at these allegations and insists that, when the people are as at present seized by a deep unrest, there are only two alternatives for remedying matters: force or re forms.

Proceeding in his article M.
