J. H. Chase '95, defeated J. B. Read '95, in the final round of the tennis tournament on the Carey courts yesterday afternoon. The two men are very evenly matched and play much the same kind of game so that the match was close and exciting.

In the first two sets Chase's smashing was good and he frequently passed Read when the latter was at the net; but his lobbing was poor and his play was a little wild. Read began by playing a good steady game; his net play and lobbing were both good, and he won the first two sets, 6-3, 6-3. Chase took a brace at the beginning of the third set. By careful play and good placing both at the net and from the back of the courts, he won the third and fourth sets and made the score two all. The play during the last set was extremely close, neither man being more than one game ahead at any time. The play was almost even, except that Chase's lobbing was the better. Chase finally won the set, 8-6.
