Hie “Westminster Gazelle.” in a review of the past lawn tennis spason, pays a well-deserved compliment to the good form shown Uy the young ('miterbury player, Mr A. F. Wilding: “As was expected," it says, “the progress of A.

F. Wilding, the Cambridge ‘Blue.’ has not been retarded this year. He not only annexed the Scottish championship, but wen many first prizes in this country, besides nearly beating Smith at Brighton and taking a set from Doherty at Newcastle. That the young colonial is destined one day to win the championship seems almost assuredprovided the present holder can be got to relinquish it in time.”
