The first single r/ill -be between F. H. D. Wilde (England) and D. G. France (Wellington). France, who defeated Adrian Quisrt,' the Australian Davis Clip player, at Nelson yesterday, should be in good form. The second single will be between F. J. Perry (England), the American singles champion and first player in the British Davis Cup team, and C. E. Malfroy, New Zealand doubles champion and runner-up in the last New Zealand singles championship, which was won by E. D. Andrews). Malfroy is now graded as first player in New Zealand, so the match will represent a real' trial of strength between the two countries. Following this, two doubles are to be played. In one of these matches, Perry and H. G. N. Lee, both, members; of the British Davis Cup, team this year, will meet Tnrnbull and Quist, the Australian Davis Cup pair, and victors over Vines and Gledhill at Wimbledon this year.

The Wellington pah- have held the New Zealand doubles championship, and are probably the best combination in : the country, so 'that this match also should not be lacking in thrills. :
