In 1877 it staged its first lawn tennis tournament.[3] In 1882 a ladies's singles open event was staged won by a Miss Ray.[4] In 1899 the men's singles title final featured the 1898 singles champion from the Natal Championships Charles Edward Finlason and Alfred Egerton Maynard Taylor,[5] the match ended with them dividing the title[6] The tournament was still being staged up to at least 1926, but then appears to have been abolished.[7]
