tured the seminal and final rounds

the Private Courts Association on the
Nuann Hotel courts. which were play
eG off yesterday afternoon. David An
derson and John Mucauay came
through with final victory, but both
the teams that opposed them slumped
badly, and were easy picking. This
may have been partially due to the
style of play which the winners adopt

birg Anderson and Macaulay of any
credit for their well deserved victory,

last round, very much on their respec-
tive games. The tennis as n whole
