e KAIHERE. L\ TENNIS CLUB. 5 The very wet weather last Thursday night affected the attendance at the annual meeting of the Kaihere Tennis Club, and it was therefore not possible to gauge the probablfe strength of the club for the coming season, but in view of the shortage of men players it was -thought that it would not be possible to enter for the association’s competitions. The meeting was held in the war memorial pavilion on the V domain, and was the first occasion on which the building has been used. It is not yet quite finished. The following officers were elected : President, Mrs Cope; vice-president, Mrs D. Downs; secretary, Miss French ; committee, Mesdames Davis, Downs, Benny, Misses A. Bird, B. Benny, and Messrs Cope and A. G. < Davis. Rr As only one court is fit for play, it ' was decided not to issue a general invitation to members of other clubs to the opening day on Saturday next.
