The next game, the sixth, was the only one won by Rasmus- aen in the first set and Wade took the next one to win this at 6-1,

Wade piled up a lead of three games to love in the second set but Rasmussen took the next of Wade's service with a series of well judged net shots. The next three games went against the service to give eighth game to love on his service to lear two sets to love.

The first five games in the thiril set went in exactly the same way as the corresponding ones in the previous act, to give Wade a 4--1 lead, Wade took the next on his service and with a 5-1 lead the match seemed to be all over bar shouting. Rasmussen now be- gan to produce much more accurate drives and alao took the net shots very success- fully and ran away with the next three games. This reduced Wade's'! lead, to 5---4. A further hard fight though was not to be and Wade took the tenth game and the match' to love. The second point in this last game went to Wade through a bad bounce off his service in endeavour- ing to reach which Rasmussen fell full length on the ground.

While Rasmussen failed to pro- duce his true form and seemed worried most of the time, full credit must be given to Wade for playing splendidly, not only in the final, but throughout the competi- tion." It would seem that he is play ing even better this season than in previous years inasmuch as there is more power behind his strokes without any sacrifice of accuracy.

There are no bridges anywhere over the river, though it could pasily be bridged close to the city, where a bridge would connect it with a very large, suburb, the island of Honam, which lies be- tween two wide branches of the river. A large boat population depends for its existence on the money earned by carrying freight and passengers across the water. In many places where creeks and canals have been bridged the foot passengers have to pay a toll to the people who used to ferry them over the water. The boat people are strongly opposed to the idea of building a bridge from the city to Honam.
