Crawshaw, who last gjk defeated Sheppard, showed his jjeoi&teiicy by losing this time to Oriel] after a tame match played defensively almost throughout. D. C. Johnrid and A'Court were well matched, iid their game? was even and interesti», A'Conxt won because ho had more nee and more enterprise in attack. Inning had & good win over Fisher, iHlragli after leading 5-2 he was (as uial) in daagfe* of iosing the last set. Ji driving, Fisher hits the ball much too late, and against an opponent as ijjil# as Browning, this is fatal. In th* doubles/ Dymond and Browniig covered the eourt too -well, and atUeked too strongly for Fisher and ifloiiit. SooeftfiTle and Crawshaw reuiged their singles defeats By winning i good match from Orbell and Johnitoa. ttrt Easy Wins. ¥.
