Rowlands was fully extended by A. .1). Brown, who led .'5 —1. in the final set. Rowlands, howover, speeded up the game and good volleying placed him level at 3 —all. From then on the ascendancy definitely swung to the Eden and Epsom player, Brown appearing to lose his grip of the match. The ladies' singles final between Miss Newton and Mrs. ITorrick went according to form, the latter not possessing sufficient severity of stroke to worry Miss Newton, who played very flteadily and won without being seriously threatened. 11. C. Rowlands and A. McKeown were successful in the men's doubles, their ability to take and hold the net position being the deciding factor in a well-played game against Brown and Porter.
