Sydney, June 30th.- After alullof a few hours, raiding and rioting broke out afresh last night at th2 DBritish limpire Steel Corporation plant here and although the police are doing their best to hold the erowds in check, it is now evident that ouiet can be re- stored only by the arrival of the troops now enroute from Halifax. Tlhe fact that soldiers are coming is of course known to the rioters, and they seemed determined to make the most of the few hours left to them, because the troops were not expected to reach the city be- fore 1.30 a. m. and may be considerably later. The strikers or that portion of them represented in the mob, have got completely out of control of their union otfieials and it is predicted that the strike will probably collapse within 24 hours of tho arrival of the troops. Whether the mills will reopen immediately, depends ‘on the amount of business available and also upon tha damage that may have been done to the plant during the raids.

CUrities deciared that the maieh was one of the fastest and firest exhibi- tions of tennis in their experience. Al- together, in the 31 games the struggle lasted, Johnston scored 109 points and Richards 93. These figures give a fair indication of the comparative strength of the two men. Johnston seemed ro know Richards game better than Rick.- ards knew his, and with this advantage, aided by hardy hitting he was able for the first time to keep Richards on the defense in the back court. beivg careful not to give him opportunities to approach tive net and there impart to the ball one of his killing volleys. Richards of course occasionaily did reach the net, there to do what was expected of him, to thriil the speciators either by smashing, or a delicate velley, bus Johnsten was the one more o ten able to eome up and give the ball a finishing bang. King G:zorge hadi expressed a desire not to missa stroke of the match play. Before the match he summoned Johnston and Rich- ards to the Royal Box, where he and Queen Mary and Princess Mary chatted with them for a few minutes.
