LAWN TENNDS DOUBLE-SET HANDICAP

The following is the record of a double-set Lawn Tennis Handicap which was recently played on the cricket ground. The final match—M messrs. Orman and Black against Mesars. Valentine and Harris, the latter pair owing 15 and giving 415 and 2 Disques, was, it will be seen, won by Orman 5 ok and although the score 6-3 6-3 looks as if they won easily it was not so in reality, each point being contested with true British obstinacy. The victors played very steadily and well earned their success. Mr. Orman, a new acquisition to the S.C.C. Lawn Tennis ranks, plays in good form and gives promise, with more practice, of ming one of the foremost players here.
