In the first place THE TENNIS TOURNAMENT between Gisborne and Dannevirke, which took place last Ru(urelay, resulting in a win for. Gisbo.Ui - .< f'. sixty-eight. points. Time would not p-.-imlfc of all the events to be played, but had the extra games been played it could not have made any difference to the. result of the Tournament In spite of the absence of a great number of people from, town owing to the holidays there was a big number of spectators, and very keen interest was takejr in the play. In the evening A DANCE WAS GIVEN FOR THE VISITORS, who seemed at the end of the evening to be very appreciative of the attention shown them by the members of the Gisborne Tennis Cub. The dance was held in Whimray’s Hall, the supper, a very dainty one, provided by the ladies, whilst the music was in the efficient hands of Miss Moore. Amongst those present were Mrs. Sym.es, in pink taffetas silk; Mrs. Stephenson (chaperon), green satin, lace over dress; Miss Agnew Brown, dainty pale pink muslin banded with dark green; Miss Crawford, a pretty gown of soft pink satin trimmed with cream silk Maltese lace; Miss Murray, pale green mousseline de soie over green satin, lace trimmings; Miss D. Bright, blue silk muslin over satin, chiffon touches; Mrs. Johnson, pretty gown of pink silk flowered voile over glace, distinguishing note of black; Miss Parker, sky blue satin with pink roses; Miss Parker, pale blue silk and lace; Miss Coleman, cream silk trimmed with Tuscan lace; Miss L.

On Thursday last ST. GEORGE’S DAY, some of the finals in the Open Tournament, commenced at Easter time, were finished, Mr. Margoliuth and Mr. Barton winning both the championship doubles and handicap doubles, in each case playing against Mr. Burke and Mr. Barrow. Both the championship and th*

handicap doubles were well fought, the latter especially being a most exciting game, the victors having only a margin of two points. Afternoon tea was kindly provided by Miss de Latour. In the handicap singles (ladies) Miss Sherratt was victorious. PERSONAL ITEMS. Mrs. Gore -,Txd,n.b asgreenosopen Dr. Hyde (Central Otago) is at present in Poverty Bay visiting his sons.
