TENNIS ON SUNDAY.
Councillor to Move for Permission. Though Councillor M. E. Lyons intends to revive, at the next meeting of the City Council, the question of Sunday tennis on city reserves, no notice of motion along those lines has been lodged with the town clerk (Mr S. Neville). The standing orders state that after a motion has been rejected by the council it cannot be brought before that body again within six months unless the notice is signed by a majority of the councillors before being lodged. The Edgeware and Elmwood tennis clubs have ceased play on Sundays as a result of the defeat of Councillor Lyons’s motion last month. Both these clubs have their courts on city reserves. The voting on Councillor Lyons’s motion was six in favour and eight against, but as the Mayor (Mr D. G. Sullivan, M.P.) and Councillors T. H. Butterfield and G. T. Thurston were absent from that meeting. Councillor Lyons intimated that he would bring the question forward again at a fuller meeting. The next meeting of the council will be on Monday.
