AUSTRALIAN TRIBUTE
UNEXPECTEDLY HANDSOME WIN.
(IT TJUGRAPH.—PRIBS ASSOCIATION.) CHBISTCHURCH, 30th Dec. The New South Wales and New Zealsnd tennis teams were entertained at dinner on Saturday night, among those
present being Messrs. W. N. Seay (president of the New Zealand Lawn Tennis Association) chairman, W. Goss' (selector of the New Zealand tetim), anil W. T. Black (president of the Otago Luwn Tentis Association).'
A short toast list was honoured. In the course of a speech, Mr. F. Peach (captain of ,the visiting team) said that he had not expected New Zealand to win so handsomely, as his team was a good one and contained the right material. The New Zealand courts were very little slower than the Australian, and the umpiring was excellent. He was also pleased with the generous attitude of the spectators.
Goss said that New Zealand could learn a lot from the doubles play of the visitors, which was superior tactically to that of the Dominion men.
Hope was expressed by several speakers that the interchange of visits would be made annually. Mr. M'Kay, the visitors' manager, said that it would take the best New South Wales team all its time to beat the New Zealand team.
