Tennis.
On Saturday morning we met at the Eden and Epsom Tennis Courts. The courts are prettily situated and the turf was in fine condition. In the Men's Singles G. Prouse got into the Semi-Finals, but was beaten by E. D. Rice, of Canterbury College, who won the championship after a fine game with R. S. Brown, of Otago. In the Ladies' Singles Miss Batham was beaten by Miss McCahon, of Dunedin, after a hard struggle. Mitchell and de la Mare worked into the Semi-Finals in the Men's Doubles. In the Combined Championship Miss Batham and G. Prouse were beaten in the first round by the champion pair—Miss Gorrie and Coates, 6-5, 6-5, after a very exciting game.
