and thirdly, that although five couples entered for the Becomes New

ladies, this was not considered enough to make a ladies' event worth while.

While the entries for the men's senior singles only managed to attain the minimum fold down by the Council, it is satisfactory to note that bese, together with the 12 in the Junior event, exceed previous entries for

a singles competition in Hong- Kong.
