terday's Events at the Tennis Courts.
Yesterday morning the days pro-
gramme commenced with the fourth
round of the all comers' singles, when
Cosby defeated Fairchild with score of
GA, 6-3; Kenneth Carter beat Baker by
default Coulter defeated Lester with a
score of 6-3, 90; and Carson beat Routh
with a score of 6-3, go.
In the next round, Kenneth Carter
beat Cosby by 6-5, 90; and Coulter
defeated Carson very easily with a score
of 60, go.
The final round for the first prize and
the privilege of playing against r. p
Carter for the championship of go,
proved a foregone conclusion for Ken
meth Carter, who completely outclassed
his opponent. Carter is entitled to a
good deal of credit for running up to
second place, and it was generally con-
ceded that to suffer defeat at the hands
of as formidable an opponent as Ken
meth Carter, did not retract from his
reputation as player one jot
There was very large and fashionable
attendance in the afternoon, and the
seating accommodations,p proved entirely
inadequate for the number of ladies
who crowded round the courts, when
the event OF the day was announced.
This was the match between the Carter
brothers for the championship of 1890.
Somewhat contrary to expectation,
however, the game did not prove a very
close one, as Kenneth Carter was clearly
outplayed from start to finish by his
brother Robert, who was in his best
form.

The annual tennis ball which was
held last night at the Casino, proved
brilliant success, the only drawback
being the somewhat limited space
allotted to the dancers.

the Polo club, at its grounds near the
Casino next week: Judges, F. G. Ryan
and Captain M. G. Bolton; starter, E.
w. Barry; secretary, E. G. Woodhouse;
timekeeper, Captain j. Machell. The
committee of arrangements, consisting
of Messrs. j. B. Proctor, j. Haigh, Cap
tain j. Machell, f. G. Woodhouse and
E. w. Barry, has prepared the following
programme which promises to be of
more than ordinary interest:
Running wide jump; one hundred
yards dash; three-legged race two hum
dred yards hurdle race over eight flights;
tug of war between scratch teams strik
ing ball with polo sticks from ponies
at run; in and out race, across the
grounds round posts four yards apart,
two heats stick and ball race from goal
to goal and back and an umbrella race.
In this last event, the contestants will
be required to run fifty yards to their
ponies, carrying saddle, bride and an
umbrella; then saddle and bride their
animals. open their umbrellas, light
cigars and race to the end of the grounds.
A pony race to the goal line and back a
tandem race, contestants riding one

being of an entirely novel character
promise to attract considerable atten-
ton.
