BRITISH PAIR'S WIN.

An hour after the doubles final Quist played in the semi-final of the mixed doubles, in which, apparently suffering reaction, he could do little right.-His partner was also unsafe, and by superior speed and stronger volleying Perry and Miss Round easily prevailed.

After winning the mixed doubles semi-final, Perry and Miss Round remained on the court awaiting M. Hopman and Mrs. Hopman, their opponents in the final.

With a 3-1 lead, the Hopmans began well enough to suggest the possibility of a completely Australian pair winning the mixed doubles for the first time in history. Mrs. Hopman had been safe and her husband customarily decisive overhead. Then Perry's dashing interception and glorious volleying coincided with Hopman having a bad patch at volleying. The Australians were unable to keep the ball out of Perry's punishing reach. Miss Round was also smashing well.

The Hopmans in the second set played much better. Hopman was applauded for desperate recoveries and his wife sometimes beat even Perry by the speed and angularity, of her forehand. Perry, however, volleyed with extraordinary dash, and did not drop a service throughout. CONCLUDING RESULTS. Results of the concluding matches are:— • WOMEN'S SINGLES. (Holder, Miss D.
