Wilde, also the Australians Quist ahd Turnbull, arrived this morning by the Maungariui. They are to tour New Zealand, preliminary to visiting Australia. Interviewed regarding the Davis Cup prospects, Perry; ex^ressed the opinion that Britain had a vefy gOOd chance of retaining the trophy. It would he a big task for France to' regain the cup, and she would probably rely on Merlin, Boussus and Berriard. The strongest competition next year would probably come from Australia, America and Japan. .. . He did not think La Cciste and Borotra would be able to stage a comeback. "I think it one of the worst things that could have happened to them," said Perry, when asked his opinion of Vines turning professional. "I should think it is probably a severe blow to them, although probably they won't say so." He was of opinion that McGrath if he was going to be a world champion, would have to alter his forehand drive to get some pace on it.
