dried out considerably. and were much
livelier, and fast playing was possible.
The contests included the balance of
the first round in singles and several
sets in the preliminaries of the "dou-
bles.'
The principal sets Of yesterdays play
were those between Dr. Glazebrook and
Cake and Geoghegan and Fuller. In the
former the doctor won, 4-6, 60, GO,
but only after his opponent had given
him hard brush in the opening set,
winning it. Ga.
In the next two sets the winner bad
it comparatively easy, although Mr..
Cake, who is one of the clubs coming
players showed decided cleverness in
placin; and in his swift return of Dr.
GlazebrooR's hard drives, and these he
seemed to meet with absolute accuracy
and he covered the court in good style.

himself. and only won after deuce set,
closing as on the first day, Sc.
