TENNIS.

WAITOHI V. TIMARU. The first tennis match of the season was played on the Waitohi courts at Mr Orr’s farm on Saturday afternoon between teams representing the home club and the Timaru Club. The weather up to 6.30 p.m., when a light shower began to fall, was all that could be wishe'd, and as a result the outing was a most pleasant one. Mrs Orr entertained the visiting team at luncheon and tea, and the ladies of the club invited players and spectators, of whom there were a good many present, to afternoon tea. In the course of the day, the best :ennis ei ei seen on the courts was witnessed, and applause was very hearty at the close of a good rally, or any other particularly excellent exhibition of the game. Before leaving for home in the evening, Mr Cameron, on behalf of the visitors, returned thanks to Mr and Mrs Orr and to the ladies of the Waitohi Club for the very hospitanle way in which they had been entertained. Tne vote was carried with hearty cheers, with a special round for host and hostess. Mr G. N. Feilden acknowledged the vote in a happy speech, and the Waitohi Club gave hearty cheers as the visitors left on their return journey.
