Miss Nelson pas had a very good season, annexing the Canterbury womens' doubles title and reaching the semifinals of the South Island women's singles.

She was No. 2 in the Wellington Nunneley Casket team and in the challenge match against Auckland performed very creditably indeed, defeating the top two Auckland play-era. Her selection in the New Zealand team was well justified and we wish her every success across the Tasman.
