...Ware '99 won the tennis championship of the State yesterday, on the courts of the Longwood Cricket Club, by defeating H. Ward 1900, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3, 6-1. Neither player was in especially good form. Ward was particularly erratic. His back hand strokes were never sure and a fatal tendency of driving into the net lost him many points.

The first basses, on the other hand, have been particularly strong, C. W. Locke and W. H. Smith especially. The club on the whole has been improving steadily and in the last concert kept together very well...

A. failed to lessen that distance. On the other hand the Weld continued to gain and, with a strong final spurt, won the race by six lengths in the excellent time...
