UNITED CLUB.
The opening of the United Tennis Club on Saturday was well attended, members and friends being welcomed by Mr. C. O. Mahoney, president of the club. He congratulated the club on the fine performances put up by the club's teams in the various competitions, and also upon the excellent state of the courts. Mr. Mahoney then presented the trophies won last season. Later in the afternoon the club was visited by Mr. B. Hickson, president of the Auckland Tennis Association, who outlined some of the work that was being done by the association for the game. Referring to the steps being taken to have school children coached in the game, Mr. Hickson said the standard in Auckland should be much higher than it was, and it was only through the children, who would be the tennis players ol to-morrow, that this could be accomplished.
