royalty did they entertain their friends.
The dirt courts are very good and the
location admirable, being surrounded
by trees. Under the shade of big oak,
an elegant luncheon was served under
the direction OF Mrs. Rice. The visitors
from Los Angeles did ample justice to
the delicacies provided.

Halsted, Mrs. Hendricks, Miss Green
and Messrs. Chalfant, Flint, Cochran,
Bumiller, Halsted, of Riverside, and
several others played sets during the
afternoon. The members of the Alham-
