(“Times-Age” Special.)

An interesting match lor the Pragnell Cup was played on the Carterton green last evening, when W. Kilgour, of the Greytown Club, followed his challenge to try to wrest the cup from the holder, W. Sorensen. The game was a keen one throughout and there was never more than a couple of points between the contestants throughout the game. As showing the keenness of the game it may be mentioned that on the eighth end the score was 8 each, on the 14th end 14 each, and again on the 17th end the score was 16 each. On the 20th end the score was 19/18 in favour of Kilgour and the 20th end saw Sorensen score one and the game ended in a draw, 19 all, and Sorensen retained the cup. It is understood another challenge awaits the holder.

On the Carterton Tennis Club's courts on Wednesday the final match in the club championship was played between I. Mackie and M. W. Worsfold.
