MISS LYLE'S PROGRESS
Mina N. M. Lyle followed up her Successer nt Hurlingham and Chiswick Park by winning her third consecutive tournament at St. George's Hill, again without the loss of a set, In the final she bent Miss N. Trentham by G-0 6-3, winning the first set with the loss of only ten points. The case with which Mias Lyle executed all the recognised strokes Was in marked contrast to that of the ruther stiff action of her opponent. Miss Lyle's subtle drop-shots were always a source of annoyance to Mles Trentham, who seldom start- cd early enough to reach them. This was because she did not an- ticipate them always as she ought to have done, but there was some!
