Lawn Tennis.
The interest in lawn tennis which has been
increasing in this city, promises to be more &C
tive this year than ever before. During the
winter active participation in the game is sus-
pended as nearly all the clubs use turf courts.
The only exception is the Washington club,
which has an asphalt court, and during the
pleasant days of winter the game is in progress.
1t is probable that a tournament will be held on
Decoration day. as 1t was last year, and in order
to increase the interest it is suggested that in
vitations be extended to players in Baltimore
aud Philadelphia. If this is done. the COMPETE
ton for the prizes will he more spirited, and
those fond of the game will have an opportunity
OF witnessing the play of expert men.
