MacLean defeated T. Watson and D, Rogers 15-8. 15-7. in a well played, closely contested match, to win the mixed doubles event. while Wanda MacMiiian captured the ladies singles club championship by virtue of~ her win over D.

Sullivan by a score of 18-14, 15-4.

Other event winners, which were decided earlier in the week, were D. Rogers and E. MacLean who won the ladies doubles title. and W. E. Wran and S. Lancaster who walked off with the men's doubles crown. thus giving Mr. La ‘ t e honour of being the high point

inner by figuring in on three of the club's championships.

Following the conclusion of the matches. prizes were presented to the winners of the various events.

The following are the results of Saturday night's play:-
