H. P. R—ch—nd. Your article received. Rather vindictive. Also too much H. P. R.

G. T—g—d. Your are quite correct.

S. G—th. (1.) We agree with you that some people talked much, and did little in connection with the Easter Tournament.

M. B—m. The appointment of Inspector of other people's tennis halls has not yet been made. Your application should be addressed to the .Secretary, V. C. T. C.
