For Rabaul

From Our Own Correspondent

Rabaul, July 16.

NIGHT tennis will commence in Rabaul, New Guinea, on July 19 when the Rabaul Tennis Club will play on their own court under newly installed electric lights. Lighting equip

merit has been installed by volunteer labour. To offset the expenses incurred in re-establishing the badly-bombed pre war tennis courts, and to declare night tennis a regular feature of Rabaul life, a Ball will be held on the tennis courts on August 8.

A Public Meeting was held on July 15 to endeavour to create enthusiasm for competition tennis. At this meeting the Rabaul Lawn Tennis Association was formed. Mr. E. Britten was elected presi dent; Mr. A. Donney, secretary-treasurer.
