Events were varied, including single races, races for pairs and team work. The standard of play throughout wag high, and the new teams are to be congratulated on their rapid improvement. Throughout all events each individual played for her team. The whole programme of 14 events was concluded at 5.15 p.m., when points for tlie afternoon’s performance were totalled, the D.I.C. team winning with 33 points.
