Second set, TO in favor of Bates aud Nell.
Third set, TO In favor OF the California Club,
Taylor aud Yates and with seven games on the
fourth sci, four for Oakland aud three for the
California CLUB.
The weather was finer yesterday than on
the first days play, ana the spectators con-
sequeutly more numerous. There was AN
unusually large number of AtheDians on
hand, who chcered the brilliant plays of
Bates and Nell vociferOusly, and when they
won the last set and the match the mem-
bers of the Oakland contingent yelled like
demons. Bates opened the service and
played in his usual form.
The first game went TO the California
Club, making the score all, and the
superior work of Taylor soon wen another
game for the home team, 81. Then Bates
and Nell won game, making the play
all. The Oakland Club made the next two
games and the match, 7-5. The full score
was as follows:
