By eight matches to three, the Wellington women’s tennis representatives beat Auckland in a match for the Kathleen' Nunneley Casket. Play was resumed at Miramar on Saturday in a very strong wind, which played all sorts of tricks with the hall, whilo at times players had difficulty in keeping their feet. Good tennis /was :impossible;-.but on the day’s play the j Wellington ...players were decidedly superior, winning three out of 'the four singles, and one double, the other double being abandoned after Wellington had won the first set 7—5,. and was leading 4 —3 in the second' set. ■ Towards the end of the, day, the wind blew down the scrim shelter at the southern, end. of the ■ .courts and scattered a number of empty petrol cases which were used as seats for the line umpires and others. The casket was presented to Mr. W.j J.. Melody, manager of the Wellington team,, by Miss Nunelley, exNew Zealand ladies’ singles champion from 1895 to ,1907, who was introduced by Mr. .1. O. Peacock, president of the Wellington Association. Detailed results are as follow, Auckland players being mentioned first:—

Singles.—Miss Whitelaw lost to Miss North 3—f>, 1—B; Miss Knight lost to Mrs. Adams 7 —5. 4 —6. 4—o ; Miss Macfnrlnnc -lost to Miss Nicholls I—o, 2 —o; Miss Ramsay'heat Mrs. Melody o—4, o—4.0 —4.
