Miss Kathleen Stam- mers defeated Mrs. Palfrey Fabyan, of America, by 7-5, 2-6, 6-3 in a contest which was interrupted four times by rain.
The actual playing time was an hour and a quarter. The fourth interruption lasted 2 hours and 10 minutes, and few thought play would be resumed at all. Even the officials had almost despaired of further play, and they would probably have sent round the "No more play to-day" notices at 6 o'clock. But a few minutes before that hour the drizzle stopped.
