TENNIS TOURNAMENT

LARGE GALLERY OF SPECTATORS

One way of looking at the cloudy weather experienced of late is that it is ideal for the tennis players for they have not been handicapped by too brilliant sunshine. Now that the finals are drawing near, large crowds are being attracted to Maori Park with the possibility of seeing the champions in action. One must admit that the tennis on Saturday, the fourth day of the meeting treated spectators to many thrills. The frocking of the onlookers was varied, some choosing linen frocks and floral, while others deemed it necessary to be on the safe side and were attired in light summer tweed costumes and suits while the players did not forget to don their attractive little summer cardigans charmingly hand-knitted in the new knobby stitches and of the fluffy angora wool.

Among those present were Mr and Mrs A. E. Sandral. Mr and Mrs F. J. Rolleston, Mr and Mrs R. A. Holdgate, Mr and Mrs W. Sexton, Mr and Mrs F. Oxford, Mr and Mrs G. Bridges, Mr and Mrs J.

Ginnerty, of Nelson, who wore a most attractive frock of beige lace with a cherry velvet sash. Her wide-brimmed lace hat had a cherry velvet-petalled crown. A sheaf of gladioli completed the ensemble. Mr J. Linton acted as best man. Mrs David Byers wore a navy ensemble relieved with scarlet and beige with chic hat to match and carried a bouquet of scarlet carnations. The happy couple left Carterton on a motoring tour, the bride wearing a navy frock with finger-tip coat to match, and a smart navy hat. The Rev. and Mrs R. Byers’ future home will be in Carterton. BLAIR—WILLI AM S A very pretty wedding was solemnised on Boxing Day at the Banks Street Methodist Church, when Anne Isabel, second daughter of Mr and Mrs Williams was married to Leslie, youngest son of Mr and Mrs C. Blair, Oamaru. The Rev. J. D. McArthur performed the ceremony. The bride, who entered the church on the arm of her father, looked charming in a frock of creme frosted crepe. The bodice, which had stiffened revers held in place with a spray of orange blossom and long fitting sleeves, was finished at the back with a row of tiny* buttons. The skirt was cut on classical lines and fell to form a graceful train. Her veil, which was lent by her sister, was of embroidered tulle and fell from a bandeau of pleated tulle and orange blossom to form a second train. She carried a sheaf of lilium regale, sweet peas and maidenhair fern.

Misses Gladys Williams (sister of the bride) and Catherine Roberts, the bridesmaids, were gowned alike in frocks of powder blue georgette over satin with full bishop sleeves of lace to tone. The rucked neckline was held in place by a spray of pink roses and silver leaves. They wore halos of blue lace over silver lame. Each carried a bouquet of pink sweet peas and maidenhair fern. Mr Percy Stevens was best man and Mr Lester Hedges was groomsman. The reception was held at the Lido tea rooms where Mrs Williams received the guests wearing a frock of wine pin spotted crepe de chene under a smart wine coat with accessories to tone and carried a bouquet of tinted roses and maidenhair fern. The bridegroom’s mother wore a black georgette and lace frock under a smart black coat and accessories to tone and carried a bouquet of red roses and maidenhair fern. Mrs E. Hudson, Adelaide, sister of the bride, wore a smart navy blue costume with hat and accessories to tone.

When the bride and bridegroom left for their honeymoon the bride was wearing a brown figured frock under a brown coat with accessories to tone. Mr and Mrs Blair’s future home will b« in Oamaru.
