Bull, who received two thirties and fifteen, which it was thought would give him a very good chance of proving victorious. Mr Coolw, however, played up in an astonishing manner, and won by 15 games to Mr Bull's i); but of this number 13 were deuce games, !) of which were won by Mr Gooke. Mr Bull did not appear to play his best, except in the second set, which he won by o—4. The Courts of the Hamilton Lawn Tenuis Club were well attended on Saturday, and some very (too:) games played.
