LAWN TENNIS.
The annual match between the Cricket Club and the Ladies Recreation Club was played on the ground of the former on the 19th struggle, ended in a victory for the C. C. by inst. and, after a close and keenly contested the narrow margin of nine games. The result is all the more creditable to the representatives of the C. C. from the fact that Jupp, who with Humphreys has been playing so well in the Tournament ties, was unable, through illness, to take his place and Capt. Chapham was called upon at the last minute to fill the vacancy.
The chief feature of the match was the con-- sistently good play of the two veterans, Ser. combe Smith and Atkinson, who won every set they played and scored 16 games to their opponents :0

The Acting Attorney-General stated that Mr. Rennie did not know the prisoner, although he had seen him twice, and had not authorised him to sign any cheques in his name. At 5 p.m. on 29th March the prisoner, accompanied by a friend, went into the shop of Ah Men, tailor, and, having procured some clothing, said he would like to pay for it by cheque. The friend pro-Q. duced a cheque-book, and the prisoner filled it up for $500 and signed Mr. Ronnie's name. When he had signed the cheque a detective appeared on the scene and arrested the prisoner's companion on another charge. Thereup on the prisoner tore up the cheque. He also was placed under arrest: At the police station the prisoner grabbed the pieces of the torn cheque out of the hands of a policeman who held them and put them in his mouth with the obvious in- tention of swallowing them. That piece which bore the forgery of Mr. Reunie's signature was rescued. Prisoner's story was to the effect that he came from Honolulu along with his friend for the purpose of obtaining employment as an electrical engineer, hoping to get the contract for the“ lighting of the Central Market. With this object in view he visited Mr. Wickham of the Electric Company and also Mr. Chatham, Director of Public Works, but nothing came of these visits. Mr. Rennie would state in his evidence that he saw the prisoner for the first time on 21st March. The prisoner called on him and asked assistance, stating that he was an electrical engineer and in bad luck, and that he had a contract sigued by a Chinaman to light the Central Market. He produced a paper purporting to be this contract, but witness would not read it. The two men said they came from Honolulu. Witness told them that in his opinion there was no chance in the world of their getting the contract men- tioned, but recommended them to visit. Mr. Wickham, of the Electric Company. They did 10, and-afterwards came back to his p'ace and told him that they had been to see Mr. Chatham, who had promised to give them the desired contract. The signature on the portion of the cheque produced was- not his signature, nor anything like it. He never authorised either of the two men to sign his name.
“After hearing evidence,
The jury found the prisoner guilty as libelled, recommended him to the mercy of the Court. Chief Justice, in passing sentence, said uld not see that the jury could have come other conclusion than they had done. was no doubt whatever that the prisoner the cheque and with intent to defraud. Lordship, wouklys however take into‹ con-
the recommendation of the jury. a very serious offence of which he had ound guilty. The sentence was imprison- hard labour for 18 calendar months. Court adjourned sine die.

In spite of counter attractions, there was quite a goodly array of spectators, who appeared to take a keen interest in the play; and it was particularly gratifying to see so many ladies there.
During the afternoon, by the kindness of Col. Bertie and Officers, the Band of the R.W.F., under Bandmaster Moir, played an excellent selection of pieces, thereby adding greatly to the enjoyment of those present.
