It was decided that an exhibition should be held about the third week in November. A large general committee was formed, and an executive committee of live. Archdeacon Willis was elected president, and Miss Priestley secretary and treasurer.
A friendly match was played between the Cambridge East and West Tennis Clubs on Wednesday afternoon in the Domain at Cambridge East. There was only a small attendance, as the match was arranged so hurriedly that few knew of it. The dav was lovelv, and those
present spent an enjoyable afternoon. Afternoon tea was provided by the ladies of the elub. Although Cambridge East was victorious, in all the matches, their opponents gave promise of becoming' good players, when it is remembered that this is their first season of play.
