completed in the different classes, and
th,J creates new record, superseding
the one made last week by +. B. Alex

pO'itan tournament.

/ . O'Clock in the sunny afternoon until
o'clock in the chilly evening before

shot, taking the match At -, . 10,
%. Almost every game was fought
Cut 10 deuce several times before either
man could claim il. and both we're still
