BEAMISH AND LOWE IN CANTERBURY. ■ Per Press Association. Christchurch, March 30 Matches between Beamish and Lowe and Canterbury tennis representatives were continued in tine weather and before a large attendance. In the Singles Lowe beat 01livier 6—4, 6—3. 6—3. Lowe kept a magnificent length, and many of his shots were unplayable. He strained a leg half way through the.first set, but this handicap did not seriously affect his play. There were some brilliant exchanges in the seoond|set, but Lowe’s tactics were superb aud Olliviers was frequently played into a hopeless position. Beamish did not have much difficulty in defeating Greenwood. The latter made many mistakes in the first set, but put up a plucky tight in the second and frequently passed Beamish at the net. In the Doubles Low© and Beamish beat Ollivier and Greenwood 6 —3, 6—3, 9—7. .In the first two sets the visitors had the advantage, their playing very often being unanswerable. The third set was very exciting and was marked by brilliant tennis. At one stage the scores were 7—7, but in the two final games the visitors showed to advantage and won the set and match.
