A large Anniversary Day holiday crowd was present. E. D. Andrews, a former New Zealand champion now, of England, played up to his best form to defeat C. E. Malfroy, present Dominion champion, in the final of the men’s singles 6- —0, 6 —4, 4—6, 6-—l. In the ladies’ singles final Miss D. Nicholls (Wellington) was too good all round for Miss Marjorie Macfarlane (Auckland), winning in straight, sets 6—4, 6—2. Andrews and N. G. Sturt (Auckland) defeated the title-holders, E. L. Bartleet (Auckland) and Malfroy in the final of the men’s doubles. The winners’ combination and good understanding, combined with consistently fine all round play, enabled them to secure a clear-cut victory 6—4, 6 —3, 6 —2.' Misses N. Beverley (Matamata) and D. Nicholls won the ladies’ doubles, defeating Misses J. Ramsay and D. Newton (Auckland) 6—3, 6—l. The semi-finals and final of the combined doubles will be decided to-morrow.
