The highlight of to-day’s exhibition tennis matches at Miramar, played bv the visiting English team and the New Zealanders, France and Angas and Miss D. Nicholls, was the singles match between Perry and Hughes. It was won by the former, 8/6, 7/5. This was the fourth contest between these two players in New Zealand, and it was the first that Perry has won. It was a first-class exhibition and was closely fought all the way. The Englishmen combined in the doubles against France and Angas, and won a spectacular match- after losing the third set and being pushed to 7/5 in the second. The Wightman Cup pair, Misses Dearman and Lyle, played a doubles match with Misses Round and Nicholls, which was abandoned when the latter were leading 4/2 in the third set. A mixed doubles, France and Miss Dearman v. Angas and Miss Round, was also played, and resulted in a win for the former pair with 6/3 in the third set.
