NOTES.
With the exception of one Morton
IS. Shanks) the p. T. c. players won
very match in which they played.
The Junior members of the P. It. G.
)ut up some remarkably good playing.
In the match between Shanks and
Norton, three sets were played. This
vas the only case of the kind in yester-
lays series.
The first set between Ross Oh. T. CO
and Godfrey (P T. CO was most in
teresting. Ross had his opponent Al,
when the latter braced and won, 6-S.
Still holding his own, he pulled out
way ahead in the second set.
Woods Up. T. c. did not play in as
good form as usual. He had an acct
dent while riding horseback a short
time before the game.
Many people attended the various
courts on their wheels, so as to be able
to get from one club to another in time
TO see matches in which their greatest
were centered.
Only one set went 60 yesterday.
This was between Nichols and French.
Play begins at 4 p. m. sharp today
on the three courts already mentioned.
The officers of the various men-of-
war in port are cordially invited to at
tend the matches Of the tournament
There was some talk of reopening
the book OF entries for ladies' singles,
but it has been decided TO leave the
thing as it stands.
