LAWN TENNIS, NEW ZEALAND LADIES IN SYDNEY. Pt«i A**oci*tion —By Telegraph.—Copyriffljl SYDNEY, May 4. '(Received May 5, at 5.5 p.m.) The tennis tournament was continued m bright weather,, the courts being faat. Miss Curtis qualified for the semifinals in til© Singles Cliampionsliip, but with. Mrs I^ s * celles was defeated in the, doubles. In the Singles Championship Mass Curtia defeated Miss Gray, 6—2, fr—l. The New Zealander was in her beet form to date. Miss Gray repeatedly tried to give her rival considerable roaming, but the latter invariably succeeded in reaching difficult shots, ultimately converting them to good account. Miss Gray in the second game was more or less demoralised, though she was sponsible for excellent placing, which deserved better results when up against a veritable champion. In the third set of the second game Mias Curtis netted thrice in endeavouring to shim the net, otherwise sue would have given her opponent a clean sheet. Miiss Curtis will meet Miss Boyd on Saturday. Ladies’ Doubles Championship.—Mrs Lister and Mias Boyd beat Mrs Lascelles and Miss Curtia, 6—4, 6—4. This..was a close contest, and was won simply by supenor combination. The volleying of Mrs Lister was also a telling factor, but otherwise there was little separating the four players in individual ability. . Mrs Utz and Miss Lloyd beat Misses Weßwood and Smith, 6—3. 6—3. The loses* wore pitted against a strong pair, Miss Wellwood’s all-round play being excellent, suggesting that there might be a different result if she were embarking on the championships. Miss Curtis in special matches and championships has vanquished all the New South Wales representatives, which the critics consider a feather in her cap. In view of hen play not dove-tailing with that of Miss Wellwood. Mies Curtis is paired in the Doubles Championship with an Australian, and was ansjous to know if the New Zealand Association approved. Her anxiety was dispelled at the conclusion of the singles victory to-day on rcoeint of ft cable ■ message from Dennieton“Don’t worry, carry on.” (Received May 5, at 11.40 p.m.) ’ In the Mixed Doubles match Peach and Miss Curtis beat Green and Green, 6—2, 6-3.
