... A I I t Rugby Letter By HARLEQUIN Dear Tatler, ENGLAND v. Scotland again on Saturday, for the fifty-seventh time. Present score, twenty- three wins each, and ten drawn games.

Scotland lost their first five games at ...

... OUR TRMMIIS LETTER. MY DEAR TATLER, I seem to have spent the entire past week watching people practising for the championships, and really the practice games have been far more interesting to watch than most of the tournaments, as plenty of International cracks have arrived, and the Wimbledon courts are full of celebrities, who are making the most of this really wonderful weather. I journeyed ...

... GUM. TEMHIS ILETT3EM. A Y Dear Tatler, -This week's lawn tennis news contains a widely varied budget, and it is hard to know whereto begin. Of course chief interest centres round the Davis Cup matches, and undoubtedly one of the most important results in this event is the defeat of Australia by the Italian team at Genoa. Seeing the Australians when they first arrived at Monte Carlo in early ...

... GUM TRMHIS LETTER MY DEAR TATLER, With a slight return of the warmer weather, enthusiasts who have been playing in the autumn tennis meetings at Felixstowe and Torquay have fancied themselves for a moment back in something more approaching Riviera-like weather. Certainly this new move on the part of the better-known seaside tennis centres, especially Torquay, has been much appreciated, and ...

... Y DEAR TATLER, - There is no doubt that our sweeping defeat by Italy in the semi-final round of the Davis Cup at Felixstowe this week has created rather a feeling of depression in lawn-tennis circles. As I said last week, we never had more than a good sporting chance of winning this event, as the Baron de Morpurgo, if he was up to normal form, was always likely to win his two singles, and the ...

... OUR TENNIS EETTER. MY DEAR TATLER,-- I should think that the French nation will give a wonderful welcome to their boy champions when they return from their victorious visit to the States this autumn. Certainly they have every reason to be immensely proud of them, for their play in the Men's Singles Championships of America has been little less than marvellous. 1 say their play, because ...

... OVWL TEMKflS) ILETTEEL MY DEAR TATLER, This letter will be all Wimbledon, I'm afraid, for I've been nowhere else for the past week, and have lived in nothing fbut a .lawn tennis atmosphere the entire time. I don't think I have ever seen a keener crowd than the twenty-two thousand people who flooded Wimbledon for the Suzanne -Ryan match in the early part of the week. Of course, even the vast ...

... . A/T y Dear Tatler, This week's chief lawn-tennis event in London, as far as the juniors a'.e concerned, has been that very interesting fixture, the schoolgirls' tournament at Queen's Club. Although this is only its second meeting, there is no doubt that this comparatively new inno vation has taken firm hold in the matter of popularity, for there are very nearly twice as many competitors as ...

... TO TENNIS LETTER. MY Dear Tatler, This week's list of country tournaments is a very long one, and as usual, the seaside meetings have proved the biggest attraction. One of the biggest meetings in the South of England is the Bournemouth week, for there are many hospitable house-parties for the tennis folk, and an extremely agreeable week's play for anyone who eoes there. Sir Leonard Lyle and ...

... OUR. TRNOTS JLRTTRR. A/T y Dear Tatler, In spite of the fact that the London tournaments are over for the time being, the most interesting lawn tennis of the week has undoubtedly been played very close to the Metropolis, and I was able to watch some keen play in the final rounds at Queen's Club. E. R. Avory (Stowe), has added yet another success to his list of victories, and his win in this, ...

... Tlh Bee in the II in iniet AN AUTO-CAUSERIE. By Gersddl Bi. MY DEAR TATLER, Methinks that this putting on of the clocks and the watches of such of us plutocrats as have preserved them so far from pawn is a mighty good thing with much to be said for it under present circumstances. Have breakfast in bed on Sunday that is, last Sunday by now and the slight inconvenience, if any, is turned into a ...
