From Our Own Correspondent. Tennis Committee Meets. The Tennis Club committee met on Monday evening to discuss details in connection with the new court, and the dance which is to be held on December 11. It-was reported that the actual concreting had been completed and it now remained to erect the wire netting and build gates. It was decided to erect some temporary seating accommodation also. After some discussion the meeting resolved that the official opening should be held on Saturday, December 7, and that Hon. J. G. Cobbe be invited to perform the opening ceremony. In order to discuss a proposed change in the rules and also the matter of colouring the new court, it was decided to hold a general meeting of members on Wednesday evening, 20th inst. Discussing the dance of the 11th of next month it was decided to engage a first class orchestra and to run buses from Palmerston North and Marton.
