If successful here, and he found the change congenial, he will eomo out each season for three years. If not, ho has an offer to go to America next year. As to being left out of the All England team now in Australia, he said that Mr Maclaren explained to him at the outset that although he wanted him he could not take him, owing to his (Mr Trott's) Australian birth.

As to coaching, Mr Trott said : “ There is nothing I like better than to bring a youngster on. I could stay with him all day, so long as ho will listen to what I say.”
