MR. CULBERTSON'S CONDITIONS

Mr. Culbertson said:

"I regard Mr. Mayer us one of the Anest players in Europe.

"I have decided to accept his breezy challenge on two conditions. "The first is that the match is to be a strictly Anglo-American one, and that it shall be played in London.

"The second: that there shall be a side stake of at least £3,000, und as much over that sum as Mr. Mayer wishes.

"In order to be reasonably certain to defeat Mr. Mayer we must play at least 100 rubbers, which will require a minimum time of ong month. But every month is worth to me ut
