LAWN TENNIS.

The following is a summary of the games played in connection with the Masterton Lawn Tennis Club's tournament, by which it will be seen that Mr P. H. Cox has succeeded in securing the Single Championship, and that Messrs Breinnev and Cox have been the winners of the Double Handicap, racquets being awarded as prizes in each instance. There is yet one contest to be played before the Single Handicap is finished, and the honor in this event will fall to either Mr Coleman, or Mr Warren. The interest taken in tennis this year bus greatly improved the play of tho Masterton Club, and by a reference to the score list it will be lound that some of the games wero very closely contested indeed being only won by one stioke in several cases. The handicapping throughout seems to have been admirable, and gave entire satisfaction to those concerned. CHAMPION SINGLE. Ist ROUND. P, H, Cox heat A, K, Bunny 6-2, and 6—4, 11.
