WTHBH, Sat, July 9th, 1904 Lawn Tennis - On Thursday in last week on the Canterbury Road Ground a match was played between the Whitstable Lawn Tennis Club and Canterbury Montrose Tennis Club, who came over in brakes. The match resulted in a win for Whitstable by ten events to one. Tea was parken of on the ground and the proceedings concluded with an open air concert to which several of the visitors contributed songs, recitations, etc. The weather was delightfully fine and a most enjoyable time was spent. The next match on the Canterbury Road Ground is tomorrow (Saturday) when Whitstable play the Rev. J. Beeby's team from Faversham.
