The "Telegraph, 1' commenting on the Da-vis Cup, says:—lf, Patterson had too many strokes for, 'his adversaries they both tested him severely by their orthodox methods, used with accuracy, activity, and endurance. The main 'reason for Kmgscote's failure was Patterson's terrific service, which drove him off the court most of the time, and when th,e Englishman essayed to break-down the service witih skillful cross court drives, he encountered backhand drives that were paralysing in power a'ad! life. The "herald" says: Under the conditions or' universal heat, the visitors■suH'ered their greatest handicap, and the Cup was lost by Britishers, wiio can be cpngratututett: for the .'fine display from the beginning to the end. lhe "Herald" concluded by eulogising Patterson's play; his .shotsVere all too much for the British representative.
