TENNIS.

WAiavffil V. TIMARC The annual tennis match, Tunaxii v. "Wai- ' "tohi Terrace,- was' played on Saturday afternoon, at Waitohi, and resulted in an excelIlent win for the home ciub by the good majority of 16 games. The -weather -was ■variable, the advance .party of Timaru players driving _out -in the morning amid steady Tain. Luckily the weather cleared about noon, and the afternoon -was all that <could be -wished for outdoor pastimes. -The snatch, was very keenly contested, and was witnessed by a good muny enthusiasts in the game. The play "was of the highest order seen' on the Waitohi Club's courts; the ladies especially playing a .keen and hard* game. Among the men Mr W. Pearse, 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 i in exceptionally fine form, and it was a i pleasure to his old opponents and many • friends to see the improvement' he shows in all-round play. It was also-a pleasure to some of tbe veterans engaged to see how well the younger players of both .clubs i are. comings on, and there is no doubt that such- gatherings as that of Saturday are productive of a lot of good to the game in South Canterbury. The visitors were most hospitably entertainedT Players and friends had lunch together at Mr and Mrs T. Orr's residence, and most refreshing afternoon tea was dispensed by the ladies of the Waitohi Club:- The following are the scores ("W" jffaitohi, "T" Timaru.) :
