J. ■ Kalin and R. G. Hart, in lead--1 ihg his side to an 8-4 win. Selwyn’s winning margin was a tot closer. The match scores were level at six-all, Selwyn winning 16-15 on a count-back of games. V. N. Brightwell, maintaining his superb form of recent weeks, won all his singles and extended his sequence to 19 successive victories. The return of the former Canterbury representative, W. T.
