The men’s doubles were also not played. The players speak very highly of the hospitality extended to them by the members of the Greymouth Club and despite the wet weather the day was enjoyed by one and all. Before dispersing Dr Teichelmann, in a few well chosen words expressed his thanks on behalf of the visitors for their generous treatment, M|- Ferguson suitably replied on bphalf of the hoine team. The games throughout were very evenly ron'tested and some splendid tennis shewn, the Hokitika ladies in particular played wil/i great accuracy and judgment and are to be complimented on their skill. The men’s single produced some very good games, particlarly those of Moore-Lindop, Teichel-mann-Learmont and Cairnie-Lynch. The first couple both volleyed and drove well. The genial Doctor’s tricky L’FtyPfj- very confusing to his opponent froip the Uaparoa, TIIO Cair-uje-Lyneh combined lasted long, but the veteran lasted long enough to snatch the last game.
