BRILLIANT SHOTS

WELLINGTON TENNIS EXHIBITION. MISS DEARMAN’S SPLENDID WIN. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. Brilliant shots of the sort which excite a gallery to gasps of wonder abounded in the exhibition tennis matches played at Miramar to-day by the visiting English players, F. J. Perry, G. P. Hughes, Miss D. Round, Miss E. M. Dearman and Miss N. M. Lyle, and three New Zealanders, C. Angas, D. G. France and R. McL. Ferkins. On the whole, however, the tennis was by no means consistently good, though there were two exceptions to this. One was the excellent play of Miss Dearman in her game against Miss Round, whom she beat in straight sets. The other was the magnificent exhibition of doubles play given by Perry and Hughes against France and Ferkins. To these exceptions should be added Miss Round’s performance in the mixed doubles in which she was partnered by Angas against Hughes and Miss Lyle. There was a moderate northerly wind during the first part of the afternoon but later this died down and conditions became almost ideal. Details are:— Angas and Miss Round beat Hughes and Miss Lyle 6—4, 4—6, 7—5. Perry beat France 6 —4, 11—9. Miss Dearman beat Miss Round 6—3, 6—4. Perry and Hughes beat France and Ferkins 6 —3, 6—2.
