MINTARO V. RIVERTON.
‘Whereby they nimbly urged the bounding sphere
Across the meshy bar.’
These lines, with an accented ‘nimbly,’ might be appropriately applied to a well contested game of tennis played on the Auburn courts between clubs representing Riverton and Mintaro, every man of whom played with the craft of the ‘Boer’ and the determination of the ‘Briton,’ the result being a win for Mintaro by five games.
