(By "Veritas").
Not for many years has local tennis provided two such senia- tions as during the past week- end in the ladies singles and doubles championships.
The unexpectedness of Mrs. Litton's defeat in the singles on Saturday was only equalled by the dramatic_success of Mr. Stafford Smith and Mias V. Thomas against Mira, Tottenham and Mrs. Litton in the doubles yesterday. In both cases it meant the exit of reigning champions,
Ever since 1930, Mra. Litton has held sway as the leading singles player of the Colony. In fact since her defeat by Mrs. Tottenham in 1929, she had not sucered, a reverse until Saturday.
