Der OF courts under their control In other parts

college In regard 10 holding the tournament on
the beautiful lawn about the college buildings.

THE TINE OF THE TOURNAMENT.

not yet been determined, but IL is probable that

association tournament at Baltimore takes place
on the 9Th and 9Th OF June. those VINO have taken
part In IL from city viii be in good trim TO en-
gage in the contests over the local prizes. II Is
however not expected that any one will enter for
the Baltimore tournament with the sole idea OF
gaining practice, as there Is pardonaDle feeling
or pride that this city should be represented by
the best players OF the association tournament. A
number OF players have already signifled
their intention OF entering for the Baltimore tour
nAment. Among these may be mentioned Messrs
GoOdfellOw. Metcalf, Davidson, W. b. and r 8.
Chiffon, stevens. McCawley, Workman, Woodward

Mount Washington where the association tourna-
ment will be held. and II is expected that the
series Of games will be played OF rapidly and the
tournament brought TO an end on the second day.
IL Is probable that a great many from this city

and In order that the interest may be as general
as possible II Is hoped that all who possibly can

WHAT PLAYERS SHOULD WEAR
The proper costume for the tennis court Is likely
10 become an important matter OF discussion.
Tennis players in this city have not rs yet reached
the stage when dress becomes the principal fea-
lure In the game. They more anxious Just
now 10 become experts IN playing. Besides, the
ladies are not players IN very large numbers and
their presence at the tennis courts Is somewhat
rare Hence there Is a masculine Indifference TO
dress However, IL Is always Interesting 10 know
what the styles are IL Is said that In mems suits
only slight changes have been made from last
summers STYLES. Whole suits OF stripes will be
worn IN place OF the striped blazer and plain pam
falcons OF last year. The preference is for panta-
looms instead OF knckerbocKers. Tennis suits Will
