LAWN TENNIS DISPUTE,

JO IHR EDITOB. Sir,— The Canterbury agitators, with thear little grievanoe, appear to have got a good hearing wuth the Press Association., amc? I hope thai the Clnistchurch papers circulate what they think worth white in this letter as freely as they have done other rrresporoaibie comments. Mt, Wilding, although a prominent player, is not essential to the Davis Cup being heid in New Zealand. The writer freely admits that Mr. Wi'ldin^ woujd probably be selected (if there was any oha^ce of lib being present), and be a great lielp to the Australasian, team. According to the Frees report^ from Cliristchurch, it seems ,uhat Mr. Wilding is prepared to take a eha<ra in upholding the pr*su«& of hie Dominion (if selected) prov>i>d»a the world's tennis chaonpipasLip is held where he selects, ajnd if that place is not aeiktttieid the tennis hero of the Dominion will not compete. Good sport. Admitting that all New ZealaJidera would like to have a rGpn&a&nltative in the coming Da-vis Cup contest, it raust be irem^mbereid that the cup is being defended by Au£trafesia — s>ot New ZeaJfind alone — and that there are several prominent young players in Melbourne and Sydney who would, well uphold ithe honour of Aus-fr-aMia in l-lva lawn> tennis world. Ml'Parlor, I*W of Wellington, wildiin the la*t month beat Norman Brookes (ftdmittedJy the world's chamjj.ion when in 1

form). Mr. WiMing is ndt indispensable, and it would, be better to give another player a chance to distinguish himself rather than allow one man to dictate to Ithe governing body as to tlie locality or other details of the cantest. — I am, etc., SPORT.
