He mentioned that the Club had had a most successful year. They had played a number of outside matches, winning all with the exception of one. There had been keen competition in the various sections for trophies. He asked that the younger people should join the Club and assist in every way to take the place of the members who had gone forth to do service to their country in the field. They had a lot of expense coming on as it would be necessary to lay down two more coifrtsnext year. When that work was completed they would have the most up-to-date courts in Auckland province.

The following trophies were then presented, viz, : —President's trophyj won by Mrs Richardson ; McCulloch's trophy, won by Miss E. O'Loughlea ; Bradstreet's trophy, won by Mr F. Mason ; De Pas Cup, won by Mr A. B. Larsen.
