The most remarkable tennis court in New Zealand, and perhaps- in the world, has been provided by Sir Truby King for the, use of uursesj afc the Karitane Hospital, now beipg built at Melrose, says the "Post.” It will be a grass court when finished, but it is built absolutely on the side of a hill with a 60ft reinforced concrete retaining wall to support it. The view straight out to the Heads is indescribably fine, and the wind, which bne immediately expects in so exposed a spot, is cleverly broken by a mesh wire enclosure. The cour.t will be opened by Her Royal Highness the Duchess of York, who will play the first ball when she visits Wellington in March.
