TENNIS BY THE SEA.
1t Has Attractions for Three Young
Ladies Of This City.

The members of the fair sex on the
Heights evidently do not find the same
amusement in playing tennis on the
home courts as they do ut the sea side.
One day last week while at Asbury Park
was attracted by large gathering of
gayly attired young ladies on the tennis
courts adjoining the West End Hotel. /
elbowed my way through the crowd and
was surprised to see three young ladies
from the Heights indulging IN the sport.
The same young ladies are all members
of one OF the largest clubs on the
Heights, but they invariably make them
selves conspicuous by their absence at
the home games.
Why this condition of affairs should
exist | could not imagine, but finally
came to the conclusion that 1t was I'M
doubtedIv because OF the presence of
three handsome. un-burned gentlemen
who welded racquets with considerable
dexterity. the young ladies enjoyed the
sport immensely, and learned Jhut they
were on the courts every afternoon. The
Jersey City boys should INA some new
aud original feature which will bring the
Young ladies out while at home. The
courts on the Heights have been deserted
during the past week, and it would APP
pear that the much talked of tourna-
ments would fZZle down to practice
games.
A tournament which was participated
In by ladies' ouly took place yesterday
afternoon on the courts OF the Hoboken
| Valley Tennis Club. Many Jersey City
1 itea were in attendance.
In a match game, which occupied
| three hours yesterday, the famous Hovey
\ defeated The well known expert Sears.
Toward the close of the game Sears was
attacked by cramps. while Hovey several
times appeared on the point OF exhaus-
| tion.

"The site, /" said he, lis not good one
For sanitary reasons only it is extremely
