BRILLIANT TENNIS IN EXHIBITION GAMES.

(Press Association) WELLINGTON, Nov. 12

Brilliant shots of a sort which excited the gallery to gasps of wonder abounded in the exhibition tennis matches played at Miramar today by the visiting English players, F. JPerry, G. P. Hughes, Miss D. Round,

Miss EL’ M! Dearman and Miss N. M. , Lyle, and three New Zealanders, C. Angas, D. G. France and R. McL. Ferkins. On the whole, however, the tennis, was by no-means consistently good, though there were two exceptions to this. One was tho excellent play of Miss Dearman in her game against Miss Round, whom she beat in two straight sets’. The other was . a magnificent exhibition of doubles given by Perry and Hughes against France and Ferkins, and to these exceptions should be added Miss Round’s performance in the mixed doubles, in which she was partnered by Angas against Hughes and Miss Lyle. There was a moderate northerly wind during tho first part of the afternoon, but later, this died down and conditions became mostly ideal. Following are the results: — Angas and Miss Round heat Hughes a.nd Miss Lyle, 6—4, 4—6, 7—5. - Perry beat France, 6—4, 11—9. Miss Dearman beat Miss Round, 6—3, 6—4, Perry and Hughes heat France and Ferkins, 6—3, 6—2.
