Among the men Mr W. I’earse, who is just back from the champion tourney and other North Island fixtures, embracing a month’s solid tennis among the best players in the colony, was in exceptionally lino form, and it was a pleasure to his old opponents and many friends io see the improvement he shows in all round play.
