MANAWATU ASSOCIATION. The management committee of the Manawatu Lawn Tennis Association met on Monday evening, those present being Messrs J. T. McDonald (chairman), D. I. Robertson, C. Yates, S. Stannard, and N. Hanson. The meeting decided, on the motion of Mr Yates, seconded by Mr Stannard, that letters should be sent to the Palmerston North and Longburn Clubs congratulating them on winning their respective grades in the inter-club competitions. 11l view of the fact that it could not affect the result, it was decided that a remaining doubles match in the schools’ competition should not be played. A donation is to be made to Mr J. Kershaw, groundsman at the Palmerston North Club, for His valuable services throughout the season. ' MEETING OF DELEGATES.
