"Mara .7, Hob- ' son Buildings, Shortland-street, on or before ' - Monday next. ' . NOTES AND COMMENTS. Tlie Parnell-Eden and Epsom fixture 19 . ; creating- a good deal of interest. Both clubs have plenty of material to choose ' from, and a repetition of last season's close contest is being looked for. West End and -74 Auckland should have a close struggle. The "■'■' Si former club has lost several of its last season's cracks, and it will be interesting to note how the new members will perform. ■ ■ Tho City Club has been given a good fillip ; JJ by its victory over Devonport, and should . V give tho Ponsonbyites a close call. ' In the second grade Remuera should de- . • feat Mount Albert .without much difficulty. « :: Tito Dovonport-Onehunga match should go to the former team. , I* l the third grade last season's champions VfJ (Otahuhu) should easily account for Birken- / head. I am not aware of the personnel of ■■■. tho University team, but think the students should be strong enough for th& Elfenilia players. W. Mowbray has transferred to the Kemuera Club. His departure from Parnell 1S \" lsfclnc t 1°> and will weaken the inter- . club team. Last season with Gregson tho «< a '>> had an unbeaten record playing in tho A men's doubles. ' v "V v , . T ho Remuera Lawn Tennis Club is calllng entries, to close Dext Saturday, for: laches and men's handicap singles, ladies' ' V*. 5?" j nn ' s championship singles, and & coin--bined handicap. The members are turning v" SI up strongly in the evenings, so that tho ' - n standard of play should improve perceptibly '• in a month or two, as the bulk of tho members are young and the right stamp to <' tm improve. This afternoon t&e' male mem- '''I'l bers of the .club will give &ii""At Home.,'* ' when they trust, to see most of the mem-i bers and their friends, and will also wel-" "'1 come members of kindred clubs. • 4 following tournaments have been authorised by the Now Zealand Lawn Tennis & Association: — " New Zealand championships at Blenheim, ' J December 26 to 28. ... • 0 Southland championships (and handicaps) .'3 at Invercargill, December 26 to 28. . South Canterbury championships at Ash- *3 burton, December 26 and 27. " 1 i'S Dannevirke 10th annual championships,' January 21, 23, and 24. • - * -- ■:$§ Mr, P. W Sherweil, caotain of the South ' r "S African cricketers, 13 a lawn tennis player - -' J of no mean ability, as he won the champion- - - J ship of South Africa in 1904.„ r?
