TENNIS.

The last tournament of the season, Waipawa v. Ruataniwha Plains, was played on the Waipawa courts, and resulted in a win for the former by 15 games. Although the wind was rather boisterous in the morning it subsided later on, and as the courts were in splendid order, a very enjoyable time was spent. Refreshing afternoon tea was dispensed to the players and spectators by Mrs Loughnan. In Dunedin the weather during the Easter holidays was almost perfect. On Saturday week a tennis match was played on the Otago tennis courts between Otago and Canterbury, with the result that Otago won easily by 27 games. The annual interprovincial tennis match, Canterbury v. Otago, which lasted three days, and comprised Men’s and Ladies’ Doubles, Combined Doubles, and Men’s and Ladies’ Singles, resulted in a victory for Otago by twenty-three games ; the totals being : Otago 280, Canbnry 257.
