LAWN TENNIS

OTAGO v. NORTH OTAGO. On Thursday (Anniversary Day) an Otago representative team paid a visit to Oamani lor the purpose of playing a match against a team from the North Otago Association. The various games were very closely contested, and it was soon apparent that the standard of play in Oamani has undergone a marked improvement and that there are several players there whose claims to inclusion in future Otago teams will merit the fullest consideration. Glanvillo was undoubtedly the best of the North Otago men, and his defeat of M'Dougall was a very meritorious performance, even although the Dunedin player was not quite at his best. In the mixed doubles game in which tTanville and his partner defeated Brown and Miss M‘Daren ho also pktyeti fine tennis, and knocked anything loose clean off the court. His partner, too, played a fine steady game. Mollison is another player who' has shown a great improvement, and Martin promises to develop a capacity for the game above the average. Of the Oamani ladies, Miss B. Miller gave a very impressive display, and although she lost to Miss M‘Laren by on© game, she was actually playing quite as good tennis as her opponent. She has a remarkably fine backhand; in fact, it is probably stronger than her forehand, and her game all round is very sound. She led Miss M‘Daren 7—2 and B—s, but finally lost B—9. The detailed scores are as follow;
