energy OF Mr.. Pushington that the Mug
gleton Lawn Tennis Club is as successful
as II is-and IL there is one thing Mug
gleton prides itself on 1t is its lawn
tennis club. The club has its enemies, OF
course. like everything truly great
whether an institution or an individual;
enemies such az the clubs OF the neigh
boring towns and villages round about,
which can not produce a player who
comes within challenging distance OF the
MuGgleton champion. The members of
these ill-natured clubs may talk as they
like and say that the reason for the pre-
eminence of the Muggletonians In tennis
is owing to there being nothing else for
the Inhabitants to do. and that If 1t were
not for the annual lawn tennis tourna-
ment held there the Muggletonians
would never he more than half awake.
But no one heeds malevolent ISLANDERS OF
this character. and each member of the
Mugglcton Club, and especially the
honorable secretary himself. thinks he is
engaged in promoting the interests OF
andNraising the standard of play In the
great national play.

so great an honor"
This proposition was received with
loud cheers and carried mem. con.
Sir Henry, who was NJ. p. for the dis
trict. was only too delighted to do any
thing which promised little eclat and
popularity. and an invitation was ac-
