LAWN TENNIS.
The result of the Davis Cup contest must be very gratifying to Australians. To win the first four seta and the fifth by default is a somwhat unusual performance. That the Americans were at a slight disadvantage will be admitted, seeing that Larned was suffering ffsm muscular rheumatism, but Brooke's play was of the very best, as he again defeated McLoughlin in the singles. Reals Wright forfeited to Heath. Australasia thus winning the five sets. Brookes has always been regarded as a champion. Wilding (who did not play thifc year on account of being at Home) has often voiced the opinion that Brookes, fit and well, is world's champion any time. He suffers somewhat from ill-health, and is unable to train methodically.
