... Sir, May I thank you for giving publicity to the last bloodstock sales at Newmarket and the presence of so many Continental buyers, so giving the lie to those pessimists who maintain that our racing strains are 44 played out. All our horses are suffering from (as Sabretache so often emphasises) is malnutrition, on the principle, one supposes, that 44 enough to keep them on their feet is a ...

... TBe Bee in the Bonnet AM AUTO-CAUSERIE. By Qeirald Blss. MY DEAR TATLER, From the civilian's point of view the giddy Gothas must be regarded as one of the episodic frightfulnesses of the war, and must be taken nightly after going to bed with an extra pint of philo sophy, .which in cases of weaker brethren, like St. Timothy of old, may be assisted by the addition of something more actively ...

... TBe Bee in. the Bonnet AN AUTO-CAUSERIE. By Geiraldl Bis. MY DEAR TATLER, By the time this reaches the print stage upon your best war-time art paper at heaven-only-knows-what a pound the untimely Hun ter's Hunny-moon will be drawing to a discreet close, and Diana will be burying her unblushing face in delightful dark ness, for which relief many thanks. Some bard once won fame with a trite ...

... OUR TRNMIS LETTER. MY DEAR TATLER, To begin with, I can't help telling you that I'm sad, horribly sad, that Wimbledon is over again and that we have another whole year to wait before we shall all meet again for another fortnight of wonderful tennis and delightful meetings with old friends. I don't know how much the people enjoy Wimbledon, but certainly the players all like it, and I, for one, ...

... . A/T Y Dear Tatler, After the great excitements of the challenge round of the Davis Cup -excitements which were not confined to the actual play itself but which began much earlier, when, after his suspension just before the Italian-American final, the last-moment reinstatement of William Tilden and his subsequent wonderful come-back in the opening single when he revenged himself for his ...

... OUR TBMNIS BETTER. TV/T y Dear Tatler, This has been a very busy week, with plenty of lawn tennis of every kind and description. To begin with of course we had the three doubles finals at Wimbledon, which, although they were really intensely interesting, seemed just a shade of an anti-climax after the wonderful thrills of the two singles. Bill Tilden, however, had something of a revenge for ...

... GW TEMMIIS LETTER. IVT Y Dear Tatler, Naturally, the big item of news in the lawn- tennis world this week has been the barring of William Tilden by the United States Lawn Tennis Association on the very eve of the American v. Italian Davis Cup match in Paris. Without going into the exact reasons which caused the association to take such an extremely drastic step, it would seem a most ...

... OUM. TEMNJS LETTER. MY DEAR TATLER, Picking up the paper just lately, as a curious coincidence I happened to read the final accounts of the Davis Cup matches (in which, as at the recent Olympic Games, America fairly swept the board) at the same time as the account of the Eastbourne Devonshire Park finals (probably the largest grass court meeting in the country). And having done so, it was ...

... Tine Bee in the Bonnet AN AUTO-CAUSERIE. By Gerald Biss. MY DEAR TATLER, That gay privateer, Tout-le- Mond, baulked of the British Museum, has swooped down on Kingsway and swallowed a substantial ration off its west side for the accommodation of the new Air Board, which is said to be swelling wisibly, almost incredibly so, with the development of the new aerial pro gramme, which makes one ...

... .. TV/T Y Dear Tatler. There is no doubt that our hardly-won victory in' the Wightman Cup match has been by far the most important item of news in the lawn-tennis budget this week, and has been a very popular win. As I said before, I thought we ought to win this match, but there is a vast deal of difference between what one ought to do and what one does, and it was with a great feeling of ...

... OU1 TENNIS EETTEE. TV/I Y Dear Tatler, This week has provided, as I fully expected it would do, another easy victory for Miss Helen Wills in the Women's American Championship at Forrest Hills. In none of her matches has she been at all extended, and even in the final (where her opponent was the youthful Miss Helen Jacobs, who drove her way there, counting Mrs. Mallory amongst her victims), she ...
