The Aggregate Stakes is the feature of the card, and,. In the absence of some of our best ponies who have gone for a reat to the North, this event will probably be accounted for by Christmas Chimes, who is about the pick of those who have been kept over.

Two of the contenders, the Chinese beams, are in opposition, and a victory for Chinesa Athletic would probably settle the matter. It is by no means certain, however, that they can win against South China, who dospite their loss in mid-week are in good form.

Mr. Hatwoll,

Honda and Akiyama began strongly and some nicely placed ahots by the former enabled them to take the first set at 6-8. The Rumjahns, however, played bril- Mantly in the second set, taking it at 6-1, and carried all before them in the third, which they won 6-0. The Japanese pair wore content to lob the ball back in the face of a persistent attack by the Rum- Jahas, but the latter pair's over- head game was almost perfect, On the whole, they appear to be much steadier as a pair than ever before, H. D. Rumjahn having Improved his service immensely.

There is a certain amount of interest attachng to all games this afternoon. The Chinese match may go either way, the very dis tinct contrast in styles rendering judgment difficult. I rather fancy the open play of South China will prove the decisive factor, always providing their their shooting up to scratch.

Honda was rather out of form,. few of his cross-court drives coming off. He was at his best at the net where he made full use of his opportunities.
