INTERPORT TENNIS.

HONGKONG PLAYERS AGAIN BEATEN.

Shanghai, Qetobar 1st, In the Interpart Tennis match between Shanghaland Hongkong. the following matabės played last evening

Toussaint and Canavaro (Shanghai) beat H. D. Rumjahn and O. Rumjahn (Hongkong) by 62, 7,5 and 62.

Wade (Shanghai) beat 8. A Rumjahn (Hongkong) by 6/3, 7/5 and 62-

The doubles match was most" interesting. The Rumjahn broth- ers were at their best and, they played beautiful tennis, but Toussaint and Canavarro gave away few points, being strong both in attack and defence.

The singles was more strenuous than the score suggests. Rumjaha remained at the baseline through- out, which gave his opponent opportunities at the net which he seldom missed.-Reuter.

IShanghai had previously won one singles and one doubles, and they therefore secure the Inter- port honours.]
