(By '; Smash.") A meeting of the Hospital Tournament Committee was held on Friday night. As the Drill Hall is otnerwise engaged for Juno 12th,' the Tournament has been postponed " to Thursday, the 19th. -Entries will close "on Saturday, the 14th. It, was decided ,to adopt the Wellington rule as rega?dsj the service^ that is some 'portion of 'the body of the raquet must be Sbelow the table when the service is delivered. . An executive committee, was. set up to draw up a set of rules,' which I will make known, immediately they come to hand. , * ', . _'. Mr Tatmton wrote stating; th?at the Australian Importing Company, of Christchurch win "present to the Committee a number 6 set of Ping Pongs, with the latest accessories. The price is 22s 6d. i As- regards entrance* fees for the Tournament i— The Championships* fee is 2s ; other events, Is each player for each event, with a minimum of la 6d for any single event. (This 1 is something of a mental tanglefoot till you f work it out) . Spectators will, tie admitted to the Hall in the afternoon at a charge of 6d ; in the evening, at Is. These charges will be more "than willingly paid by anyone (who ia still a spectator), who happens to have seen his friends, dignified, ' fat, pompous or irascible making; Punch pictures of themselves in wild endeavours to pick up the little; white ball "on which the sun never 1 sets.'' The matter of allowing wooden racquets in the Tournament was not discussed by the Committee, but. it is almost a certainty that they will be "barred."
