Of the remainder only Anderson, Sumner and Barclay reached the second round. Andreae provided Anderson with a most thrilling and gruelling run. Andreae he was glad ho had made such 'a good light, and he was most- pleased that Anderson won, because lie recognised lie could not have gone much further, while Anderson might go to the last stages of the championship. Belgrave beat Fisher 6 —3, 2 —6, 6 —l, S—lo, 6 —3; and Barclay beat Mavrogordato 12—14, 7 —5, 6 —l, 3 —6, 6 —3. ( Air.
