The lawn tennis season is now unfolding all its petals, and tennis is about to become once again not merely the luxury of those fortunate enthusiasts who, on the Riviera or on covered courts, can play all the year round, but the daily recreation of great masses of the people. At this season, therefore, when new rackets are being bought and old ones taken out, varnished, and restrung; when strokes are being practised before bedroom mirrors; when groundsmen are putting the finishing touches on their courts; the great majority of listeners will particularly welcome this talk by an old Davis Cup player who is now one of our leading expounders of the game.

A SERIES of talks on Tuesday afternoons, which began recently, is giving prospective holiday-makers who want to go abroad much useful information about different Continental resorts ; but many people prefer to see their own country first, and they are to be catered for in Mr. Valentine's series, of which tonight's talk is the first. Ho will deal not with the most popular districts and towns, information about which is easily obtained, but with such beautiful but comparatively little-known regions as the Wyo Valley and the Welsh Marches, the North Riding of Yorkshire, and the country that lies between the Eden and the Lune.
