By beating the Rev. W. Aitken and D. H. Kleinman in three sets at the S.C.C., the Japanese pair, Matsukawa and Kawajiri, became the doubles tennis champions of Singapore. They won at 1-6, 6-4, 6-4, and the match was a splendid finish to the tournament, being as

There were thrills in plenty for the spectators, and the supporters of the Japanese players, after being quite resigned to defeat at the close of the first set, witnessed a magnificent recovery.

SALISBURY, COMPANY AT THE

The Salisbury Company drew o local talent last night when they presented "When Nights Were Bold" at the Star Theatre. After their previous fine per- formances it was a little dis- appointing to find that the play was inclined to drag at times, but all members of the company did extremely well in a farce the action of which is decidedly boisterous. To be boisterous and convincingly active in the present heat is difficult and members of the audience no doubt sympathised with the players on the stage.
