Tennis Tourney Opens
With Exciting Games.
Play on Two COurts-Results in
Detail-Hours and Matches
for Second Day.

The tennis tournament has begun
in earnest and from The Indications Of
yesterday there are very warm times
yet to come before the contests that
shall decide for this year the suprema-
cy Of the players in singles and dou-
bIes, have been completed. The courts
of both the Pacific and Beretania ten
mis- clubs were well attended by friends
at the opening sets yesterday after
noon The play on the whole was
very good and gives promise Of fine
things to come in a day or so. The
play of yesterday is summed up as
follows:
Pacific Courts-H Waterhouse, p. T.
c. Senior, won over H Macfarlape
P. T. c. Junior, 81. GO; E. r. Adams
P. T. c., won over w. II: Rabbit, Pu-
nahOu. Ga, 81; Harold Dillingham;,
P. T. c. Junior, won over G. P. Wilder,
P. T. c. Senior. 60, 6-1; c. W. Dickey,
P. T. c. Senior, won over George Full
Ter, P. T. c. Junior, So, 60, 6-3; P. F.
De La Vergne, P. 7. c. Senior, default
ed to c. Berger, P. T. c. Junior.
very exciting. In the sets between
Waterhouse and Macfarlane, the juni-
or member tried his best TO get on top
but the senior member had the expert
ence The first set between Adams and
Rabbit was very exciting, Rabbit
playing a fine game against a swift
opponent. Had he kept along at the
same pace he might have won the
second set but he went TO pieces and
gave Adams every opportunity to pass
him. 1t is needless to say that the
P. T. c. man took advantage of this.
Adams did fine work down the side
lines. Fuller won the first set off
Dickey in nice style but he could not
keep up the pace and put up much
weaker game in the two remaining
sets.
The last set played on the ?: T. C.
courts was between Chas. AthertOn Of
the B. T. c. and S. G. Wilder Of the
P. T. c. This was probably the most
exciting contest OF the day. Wilder
won the first set with a score Of 60.
Then Atherton turned around and by
a splendid uphill game, beat Wilder
by a score of 6-3. Then came the de-
Gliding game. Wilder and Atherton
were both determined TO do or die and
when it became so dark that they
could play no longer, the score stood
10 games on each side. The final
games will be played off at p. IN.
today.
