TENNIS DISPLAY.

VISITORS AT WELLINGTON, Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Nov. 12. Brilliant shots of the sort which excite a gallery to gasps of wonder abounded in the exhibition tennis matches played at Miramar to-day by the visiting English players-—F. J. Perry, G. P. Hughes, Miss I>. Round, Miss E. M. Dearman, and Miss N. M. Lyle—and three New Zealanders —G. Angas, D. G. France, and R. McL. Ferlcins. On the whole, however, the tennis was by no means consistently good, though there were two exceptions to this. One was the excellent _ play of Miss Dearman in her game against Miss Round, whom s'he beat in two straight sets. The other was the magnificent exhibition of doubles given by Perry and Hughes against France and Ferldns. and to these exceptions should be added Miss ' Round’s performance in the mixed doubles, in which was was partnered by Angas against Hughes and Miss Lyle. There was a moderate northerly wind during the first part of the afternoon, hut later this died down and conditions became mostly ideal.

Results:—Angas and Miss Round heat Hughes and 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 beat France and Ferkins, 6—3, 6—2.
