* JfEOM OtTE OWN COEEESPONDENT. Feb. 26.—A tournament was held oa the local tennis courts on Thursday. There were 48 entries. The weather was perfect and the courts in good order, consequently a most enjoyable time was spent. The final results were: Mr. Cutfield and Miss Winfield 30, Mr. Kilpatw rick and Mss B. Esse 28. The prizes were the gift of 4 the president, Sir. J. Sutherland, and'were presented to the winners by Mr. W. A. Armstrong in the unavoidable absence - of Mr. Sutherland. Owing to the outbreak of influenza at the beginning of the season there has been very little interest taken in tennis until quite recently. Players seem to have “picked up” lately and are taking advantage of the fine weather to get in lots of practice. A very jolly little complimentary dance was given to Miss Vera Julian by her girl friends in the Druids’ Hall on Tuesday night. There were about 20 couples present. Mr. Wray Spnrdle provided the music in his usual capable style, and all present had a thoroughly good time. The chaperons were Mrs. Rolston and Mrs. Evans. Miss Evans, on behalf of the girls present, handed Miss Julian a handsome leather suit case and expressed the wish that if; would remind tier to spend her week-4 ends in Inglewood. Miss Julian briefly returned thanks. Miss Meston has been appoint-* ed assistant clerk in the borough office here. Mr. Branch leaves Inglewood to take( up his new position at New Plymouth this week.
