Tennis.

With the weather in its angriest mood throughout Saturday and the consequent loss of a day's play, the prospect of completing the Tennis Championships before the close of the Tournament looked extremely doubtful. By decree of the Committee, however, the ladies were required to play on Easter Monday morning, and on Tuesday, by dint of careful arrangement, the championships were so far completed that only two finals remained to be played on Wednesday. The quality of play, though equal to that of the previous year, was not up to the University standard. Canterbury College successfully defended their title to the Tennis Cup;, which looks to be in their safe keeping for some time.

In the Men's Championship Singles a fine contest was witnessed between Wilding (C.C.) and Moody (O.U.), the latter eventually winnign (6—3, 6—4). In the final, Jennings (C.C.), last year's champion, had no difficulty in defeating the Otago representative (6—0, 7—5). The result of the Men's Championship Doubles was never in doubt, Jennings and Wilding (C.C.) easily disposing of Bundle and Gower (O.U.), and the Combined Championship Doubles was also a foregone conclusion, Jennings and Miss Grace successfully defending their title. Canterbury College players continued their victorious career in the Ladies' Championship Doubles, two Canterbury pairs reaching the final, which was played in Christeburch, and ended in favour of Misses Grace and Paterson. Victoria College players showed to advantage in the Ladies Championship Single, three of them reaching the semi-final. In the final, Miss Reeve (V.C.) was opposed to the redoubtable Miss Grace (C.C.) and an exciting contest extends in favour of Miss Reeve (12—10) amidst enthusiasm. The Spike extends to the champion its congratulations. An outstanding feature of the Tournament was the safe and consistent play of the Canterbury players, Jennigns and Miss Grace.
