Brilliant weather marked the resumption of the lawn tennia contests at Wimbledon yesterday, but the attendance was not very. large, owing to the secding having detracted from the Interest of the earlier stages.

A number of players have now entered the fourth round, and the list of names of those remaining to'play contains a galaxy of. talent. Only a few British players have survived, but the American well as some of and French cracks are among the last sixteen, aa the prominent continental exponents.

In the ladies' section, Miss Betty Nuthall, the English hope, has done well, and there are also a number of other names pro- minent in feminine lawn tennis international matches.

Tilden had an argument with the judge over two foot-faults, and this led to a protest from the crowd to him to "dry up," but the Americans, who won, were cheered at the close.
