NOTES.

The opening matcn between Otautau and Nightcaps showed the. latter's lady players (to advantage. Miss Meats has a nice style* and is a coming player: > It, was Miss Edie's fii/st game, she should greatly improve as the season advances. v ■ , Iv the gents 1 section and of tne young pbtyers, Wells (a left bander) shows most promise. Mclvor is m form, and was unlucky to lose his single after beiug B—Gaud8 — Gaud 40— love^ - Burns played well at the beginning, but tired, and m the challenge match with Knaggs, of , 3 sets for fifth place on the Western District ladder only won the first 6 — 5. Knaggs was steady aud pegged along to win the last two G — 3, 6— 4, putting him ahead on the ladder. i The positions on the gents' ladder wow stands at Jordan, Booth, Wilson, Xliggius, Knaggs, Burns, but we hear Townsend and Johnston of Tuatapere jtnd Allan of Nightcaps will extend the above players, and have to be reckoned with. ,

The Booth- Allan match was good, Booth being fully extended to win. Allan will improve as the season advances, he. has a lovely drive.

Tennis enthusiasts are keen, it looks .as if teams entered m the competition will make matches very even. It will encourage the younger Clubs if they <e&n win matches, and possibly secure the premiership from the older established ones.
