The final will bo played this afternoon. An unfortunate hitch occurred in tho tennis championships this morning owing to a proposal that the semi-finals of the combined doubles at 9 a..m. should be followed immediately by the final at 10.30, and that France, who was in both morning events, should play Ollivier at noon, and that Miss Spiers, also in both events, should play Mrs Scott at 2 p.m. This programme was rearranged to postpone the* combined finals until late in the afternoon. This averted gratve local dissatisfaction. . , ~ <. At present Canterbury is leading tor the tennis banner, which it is not likely to lose. Singles Championship.—Final: Ollivier beat D. France, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2, 6-1.
