The decline in popularity of handicap events at our open tourna- ments has for long been engaging the attentions of those responsible for the welfare of the game in England, and as a result of recent tho deliberations the Counch of Lawn Tennis Association has decid- ed to bring forward a motion to modify what is known as the "thlety timit" in the received odds permis- sible to handicap players.

At present the regulations stálo that "no competitor shall recalve more than 30." The proposed concession to the long handicap player is to be pro- vited by adding to the regulation in question the words "from any other competitor but a player may be allot-
