gallery of guests and many local Wis
itors, the mixed double tennis tourna-
ment for the trophy offered by Noel
DEER, was started on the court at
the Macdonald" in Punahou street,
Saturday afternoon.
The pretty grounds of the Mac
donald" have never before held sucn
an interested gathering as was seen
on both sides of the court all after
noon Saturday and most of yester-
day. Through the courtesy of the
management of the homelike hosiery,
dainty refreshments were servea
throughout the afternoon of both days
and the spectators in addition to en-
|joying the afternoon repast were treat
ed to some close and interesting ten
mis-.
AS an appreciation of the interest
taken by Mr.. DEER in Offering the
handsome trophy, the majority of the
ladies and gentlemen of the house en-
tered the tournament for the sake
of the sport, and although champion
ship form was not shown in every
match, a number of close and eXcit-
ing sets were played.
The match between Miss Sewell Of
New York and DR.. Case, against Miss
Burnham and Mr.. Herdman furnished
the sensation of Saturday, as three
sets were necessary before the match
was completed. After the score had
gone to deuce and vantage a number
of times in each game Miss Sewell
and DR.. Case were able to win by a
60, 1-6, GA score.
Miss Sewell and Miss Burnham both
played a brilliant and finished game,
and with good coaching both ladies
should be well up in the tournament
which starts next week for the single
championship of Hawaii, Miss Sewell
by steady and consistent playing in
which she used her Lawford and back
hand strokes to good advantage was
able to pass her opponent at will, help
ing to win the match in the third ser
by her fast playing. Miss Burnuam
also played a steady game but was
handicapped by her partner who has
, only played the game a few weeks.

noon between Miss Nyman and Mr.,
Vale, versus Miss Sheffield and Mr..
Edwards, went three sets before the
former pair were able to win out, the
