LAWN TENNIS
THE ENGLISH PLAYERS,
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) DUNEDIN, Last Night.
Tho lawn tennis match between the English players Beamish and Lowe and 'the Otago team, assisted by Olliver, the New Zealand champion, was played to-day in fine but cold weather. In tho singles Olliver beat Beamish, 6—3, 6—i, the Christchurch man being in fine form and driving accurately and with a good length. The doubles provided a fine exhibition, and, although the visitors won by three sets out of four, the contest was very even, and the issue in doubt for the first three sets. Lowe was handicapped by an injury to his leg. Olliver and Brown gave a surprisingly ,'ood exhibition, considering that they had no previous practice together. The final score was in favour of tho visitors, I—6, 7—5, 6—3, 6—3. Gray Young, the Otago player, took one set, and Beamish tho other singles game at 6 —£, but Beamish won the next two, 6 —3, B—l.
