Beautiful weather prevailed on Saturday for tho continuation of tho Otago Lawn lonjiis Association's Easter tournament, and nuieii intcnsiting play was witnessed, in tho afternoon taoru vras a very large attendance ol upocta,tors, who iiad tho plcuauro ol sowng G. Ollivier, the New Zealand ohampion, playing jh a number of hit> games. JilxeeLlent progress was m.ule witii moot of tho events, no tewer thaji 85 bounce benif; piaywl during tho clay, and the closing bUige.s ol tho various competitions should lx) invested with a considerable amount of interest, es[>eoinily tlio Ladies' Cnampicm Suites, whicn ia* still very open. 'iho best giune in tUo Men's Cihamp.on Singles was uuit between OtLh ior and hiiejil>ar<i, and although the duunpioji won 111 two straight bote, his opponent fought hard, and ma/Jo tho play bright and interesting. Many or Sheppardi'a boekliand ehote were very flue, and lie soared a number of aces with a last side-lino drive. S. G. M'Dougall deteated J. S. Sinclair after a long game, running into throe sets, and M'Kerrow accounted lor Honderson, the Southland reproaent.bt.ivc. In tho Men's Champion Doubles Oi 11r and Shopi«ird, who wore not fully extended, boat Gregory Lrothem, although tho latter played up well in the second sot. Manson and Guy, both of whom showed good form, made a threo-set match of it with Bray and Sinclair, and Guy, in particular, gives promile of 'better' things in tho future. Miss Pattison, playing in tho Ladies' Champion Singles, maintained tho favourable impression she liad already created by defeating Miss 'lUraer in two tots out of three, after an evenly contested and very attractive game. Misa Hislop beat M.ss Wilson, of Winton, in two closely cantested sets, in which the visiting player showed much promise. The third round of the Ladies' Handicap Singles has been almost completed, and some excellent games should b 0 witnessed between the players who still remain in this ovent, notably that between Miss Pattison and Miss M'Laren, who now have to meet each other. The Mixed Doubles provided many interesting games, and it was pleasant to see Miss Camp'bell, the champion of many Easter tournaments, again woilding her racquet with all her former effectiveness. In partnership with Harraway, Miss Campbell won her first gamo fairly eaxiiy. In the third round of the Men'a Handicap Doublo a Black and Couston went down before a much younger pair in tlio persons of Wilkie and -Lemon, but the older players, although defeated, were by no means outclassed, and many of their shots were warmly applauded.
