The season's programme in one division of the tennis league has been completed, and the schedules in the "B" and "C" Divisions are rapidly nearing conclusion. But there is still a lot of leeway to be made up in the "A" Division and Mixed Doubles.

Today, being a publte holiday, no matches in the mixed doubles are down for decision, but to-morrow, weather permitting, further progress will be made in the senior men's division.

So far as can be ascertained, the programme will be the second block of pustponed games, which will nee Recreio at Chinese Recreation Club against the champions. The outcome of this match will go long way to wards deelding the championship. Recreio are conceded a slight chance of winning, but on the face of it, the most they can expect is a draw.
