R. Vilas Osatanada, Siamese Trade Commis-

Msioner, who was responsible for introducing leading Siamose tennis players to Hongkong a year ago, is planning to have a party of badminton players visit the Colony from Siam early in May, and hopes, with the co-operation of the Hongkong Badminton Association, to have them appear in public exhibitions of the game against local ex- ponents.
