Harvard's new observatory will contain a 61-in. telescope, as will the University of Toronto's new Dunlap Observatory. For a half dozen years those will rank as the world's fourth largest instruments, after Carnegie Institution's 100-in. telescope at Mount Wilson, the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory's 72-in. at Victoria, B. C.. Perkins Observatory's 69-in. at Delaware, Ohio. Near Bloemfontein, South Africa Harvard owns a 60-incher.

Two other matches ? Burke v. Westland and Stout v. Sweet ser ? ended all-even after...
...clay much like En-Tout-Cas ("all weather") courts which are made in the U. S. and elsewhere by En-Tout-Cas Co. Tennis ball specifications for size, weight, thickness of cover are the same all over the world; but because most European players prefer a slower bounce, Dunlap Co., which makes most tennis balls abroad, uses a rubber composition that gives a less lively bounce than the composition used by U. S. manufacturers. European tennis balls last a little longer; before tournaments they are refrigerated...
