TENNIS TOURNEY

second day's play PLAYERS NOW BEGINNING TO SORT THEMSELVES OUT YESTERDAY'S RESULTS Summer sunshine gave a proper tennis atmosphere to the second day of the Rotorua Tennis Club's holiday tourney which was continued yesterday on the Government gardens courts. . Play in all sections was pushed f orward and to-day will see the semifinals entered in the majority of the divisions. The finalists and semi-' finalists are now beginning to sort themselves out and play is assuming an interesting complexion. The courts yesterday were playing well although in some cases the wear on the dry ground was affecting the backlines. Light showers of rain early this morning, however, may do something to improve this. The tourney once again drew an interested gallery of spectators and the courts were ,the rendezvous with very many of the visitors who are in town.
