Tomorrow will see the first meeting of Sloan Morpeth and Ewen MacFarlane, and neither player can afford to let up •in any way. Cathro’s ' steadiness ■throughout the tournament will t est youn<? Basil Smith to the; utmost. » Shaw should account' for C. Clements in the professional, but,on to-day’s play the Moss-Douglass - match is decidedly open. It will be a contest' of brilliance and steadiness. The 1 course is in magnificent order and playing well.
