LAWN TENNIS.

JUNIORS FOR AUSTRALIA. RECORD N.Z. G-ATE AT AUCKLAND, £900 PROFIT ON BRITISHERS. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. Details of the substantial profit which accrued to the New Zealand Lawn Tenuis Association as the result of the English team's tour were given at to-night's quarterly meeting of the council of the association by Mr. A. G. Henderson, the chairman of the management committee. The profit, he said, was approximately £500 to the .New Zealand Association and £400 to the local association.

The gate takings at the Dominion championship tournament held at Auckland, amounting to about £550, were a record i'or any tournament in New Zealand. The big gate was, 110 doubt, due to the draw t.uit Perry was.

The tour of Jjweu and Kay, continued Mr. Henderson, although of benefit to the minor associations, was very poor from the financial viewpoint.

He announced that a team of junior players under the age of 21 would be gent to Australia next year. It was uncertain yet whether the team would include giris as well as boys.
