"A three days' open lawn tennis tournament took place at Farndon Park, Hawkes Bay, on December 30, 31 and January 2. Although this fashionable and healthful game has been played inn Hawkes Bay for several years, this was the first open competition in New Zealand, and there is every reason to hope it may become an annual fixture.

"The committee are to be congratulated on the success of all their arrangements, and a large number visited Farndon Park as spectators of the play. The honorary secretary, Mr J.F. Jardine, was indefatigable all through the tournament, and special thanks are due to him. The weather was magnificent, and the ground in splendid order. The play all round was good, and in some instances exceptionally so."
