The two outstanding pairs in yes- terday's match were Clarke and Miss V. Bradbury for the winners and J. J. Fertson and Mrs. Faddell for the losers. Both won two and a halt sets. Ferguson played splendid forcing tennis, serving powerfully and making some very nice shots from the forecourt. Mrs. Waddell din- played sklii in retrieving and she re- turned practically everything.

The winners were well served by their other two pairs, who won a couple of sets upiece. Beavon an Miss Abraham nently pulled off their opening set against Clarke and Miss Bradbury. After leading two-love and then trailing 2-4, and 3-0, they drew up to five-all, but failed to last.
