LAWN TENNIS RECEIPTS
' The gross takings for the New Zealand lawn tennis championships at Wilding Park, Christchurch, recently, amounted to £833. Though this figure is well below the record of about £ 1300 set at Auckland last year, it is regarded as most satisfactory. It is appreciably more than most of the pre-war championship tournaments produced in spite of an unfortunate run with the weather. Apart from the complete loss of one day’s play, the-rain prevented the women’s final being decided on the following day, as had been planned, and also caused the Doubles match to be completed on a Sunday, a "non-paying” day.
