Scott and R. Gloyn and Miss R. Hill. After an excellent match, W. Gloyn and Miss Scottwere successful, 6 —l, 2 —6, 64. W. Gloyn s form recently has been superb, and it was expected that if Miss Scott was also at. her best the match would be a hard one, which proved to be. the ease. R. Gloyn and Miss Hill played their best tennis m the second set, which they won by 6--Z. It is doubtful whether R. Gloyn has played better tennis against such good opponents this season, his overhead work was excclloTl,c quarterly meeting of officials of the Samon-Rongotoa circuit of the Methodist Church was held on Friday evening at Kongotea.
