Considering the evidence Of the first court

was sufficiently within the finding on the evil
dence The granting of the application Tor
court Of inquiry was within the legitimate dis
erection of the commanding officer. and as the
matter could be much more shortly disposed OF
by the court martial rather than by court OF

tendance very representative
AS the scores show some of
the matches were hotly con-
tested and brought out some
very long games.
While as a whole the Wah-
peto players seem to have come
out on top in the tournament,
it should not be forgotten that
the advantage of playing on
ones own courts is not to be-
disregarded and another year
the visitors may carry off the
honors.
The sentiment of nearly all
the players seemed to be for an
earlier tournament when most
people are not 30 busy and the
days longer and more favorable
for play. Quite a number who
would have come had the meet
been in July or August missed
this, our first aud a very prof {.
table and enjoyable Tourna-
ment.
