THE Vila Tennis Club commenced the first round of its first tournament on November 20. There were some extremely good matches, the most notable being Messrs. Baistow and McClean (British) v. Tassy and Capel (French) in men’s doubles, and Dr. Tassy (French) v.

Blandy, Assistant British Resident Commissioner (British) in men’s singles.

In the first match Baistow and McClean lost the first set 6-5, and put up a stubborn resist ance and some fine play in the second, eventually losing 12-10. The second set took well over an hour.

The second match, Dr. Tassy v. Blandy, was an exhibition of really first class tennis, Blandy winning both sets 6-4 and 7-5, respectively.

The tournament is in no sense English v.

French, contestants drawing for opponents.
