STERN TENNIS.

Hard Battles at Wilding Park To-day. COMPETITION MATCHES. The second round of the senior competition at Wilding: Park to-day again produced some steAi tennis. Though were any number of hard battles and several prominent players emerged the victor only after a keen struggle. One of the notable games resulted from the meeting of H. A. Barnett, of Canterbury College, and D. G. Silvester, first man for Addington.
