Here let us emphasise a point on which there is a great deal of con-

It is possible to see practically all the lawn tennis stars of the world in action at Wimbledon for the vary moderate outlay of three shillings. The big arena is often half empty on the first two days, and on the Monday, or even Tues- day, of the second week. People flock, of course, to the Finals, which are often far less interesting than are some of the earlier battles. the Henri Cochet, for instance, was defeated both last year and year before in the very early part of the meeting, and those exciting matches could have been seen by the ordinary spectator who had not been lucky enough to obtain one of the coveted Centre Court reserv- ed Beats. We have written at some length on this aspect of the meeting because no few people un- derstand it.
