Freshers' Tennis Tourney

Freshers' Tennis Tourney.

Without making any uncomplimentary references to Wellington's salubrious weather, the aforementioned Tournament proved to be very successful. About sixty-four players participated, and there were some very evenly-contested struggles. Sanford and Miss Singleton won the Gold Clock from Stafford the Second and Miss McClean in a very exciting finish (several dislocated necks amongst the spectators)—the final score being 25 points to 24.

"Smad," on questioning the "Head Man of the Show" on "Fresher Possibilities," was informed with a beaming smile, that there was more talent offering than for many years past. "The girls," he said, "were especially good. This latter remark "Smad" was at a loss to understand, and the matter was left as it was. Miss Metikingi and Miss McClean, the runner-up were both noted as promising players, while many others showed good form. Players are advised to get to the ladder right away and not wait until exams interfere.

The highlight of the day was, however, the Afternoon Tea. Sugar buns were supplied and there was eager competition to see which side of the buns had sugar on. Unfortunately none of the buns had sugar on at all and this gave rise to numerous complaints. It is understood, on information received from a reliable source, that no formal complaint will be lodged in connection with the "Sugar Bun Business."

Interclub.

The teams at Miramar had a very successful week-end—wins being registered by the Seniors, the Second Division Ladies, and the Third C. Men.
