LONDON. .7iino 30. Anderson liiis no difficulty in winning to-day, thus joining the three young Frenchmen C'oehet, Uorotra and Laeoste in the semi-finals.

In his match against Fisher, Anderson won most comfortably. He ran away in the hollowcst fashion to • >-(’ ill the first set, and even had a 10-30 lead in the sixth. Then he conceded Fisher a game before he ran out. fisher’s only game in the second set was the third, and the crowd began to lessen in view of its being a foregone conclusion, but Fisher in the third set improved, and led 2-0, 3-1, 1-2, then Anderson, by virtue of excellent driving and serving, took the next four.
