LAWN TENNIS.

• TARANAKI V. AUCKLAND. . The weather still "keeps fine, and It pro- ; raises to'be a-flue. 1 day ou: Saturday, when . the . annual interprdvinclai: fixture, .between, the Taranaki and Auckland Associations j takes place at New-Plymouth. :' «.:. "Volley"! (the tennis writer In the "Taranaki Herald") is Borryto see that Smith ;cannot.,manage to participate lii the match, .but nevertheless considers that the tenia' .will beat the Ancklnndcrs t He snys: "Whatever the Taranakl--men do In the singles, their doubles combination has been-rather upset. Dickie and' Wallace will undoubtedly, account for Auckland's-first pair> but will the others be equally successful?" .".Volley" thinks hot. However-good either. Sellar and Pawdrell might be as. single' neither will co-operate-with either Jennings or Nicholson. The- separating of the Nicholson-Smith- combination cannot be: helped—Smith; as before stated. Is hot available. But. why hasn't Jennings his partner? The .Tennlngs-Caplen combination. Is.by'now well known to the New Plymouth tennis public, and it is therefore unnecessary for ''Volley" to point out- Its good, points. The ladies are undoubtedly verystrong, but,, with the Inclusion of -Mrs Jones, it-would have been stronger. Play will commence in the morning, and ■will be continued throughout the day.
