LUMSDEN NOTES

TENNIS RESULTS. (From Our Correspondent.) At the tennis courts on Saturday Lumsden met Wendonside in the second round for the Campbell Cup and won by 11 sets to 5 and 84 games to 67. The weather was not good for tennis, a strong wind prevailing which made playing conditions unpleasant. However, some good games were witnessed by a large number of spectators. A good display was given in the match between Dr. Brown and F. Hurley, the former winning after a close contest by 6—5. The visitors were entertained at afternoon tea by the ladies of the local club. The following are the scores, Wendonside names being given first: — Combined doubles: Hurley and Miss McDonald 3 v Brown and Miss Belsham 6; Collins and Miss Hamer 3 v J.

To those who have never tried Dr Morse's Indian Root Pills the best advice that can be given is to always have a bottle of these pills at hand, and when the first indication of trouble appears take a course, and note how amply the system is put right. No remedy, at any price, is better or more carefully prepared than Dr Morse’s Indian Root Pills.
