homecomers from the summer resorts
set the ball in motion and it will be
kept spinning merrily during the
coming week. There are many visitors
now in the city and during the week
numerous delightful social functions
will be held in their honor, as well as
others of more pretentious nature.
The tennis tournament of the Scranton
Lawn club, with which the week will
close, will bring many guests to the
city, who will be entertained in vari-
Gus ways. 1t is expected that the
coming tournament will eclipse all
previous efforts of the lawn club.
This will be the week par excellence
of the college people. They are re-
turning to the city from the different
resorts of the mountains, country or
seaside, where they whiled away a
portion of their vacations, and are now
preparing to return to their studies aft
er taking one last plunge in the social
pool. ...

The third annual tournament of the
Scranton Lawn club will be held at
the club grounds at Platt place Friday
and Saturday afternoon. Its success is
assured by the number and character
of the entries received. Much interest
is being displayed in this tournament
and there will be great outpouring of
society people to witness the work of
those who enter the contests. The
prizes that will be awarded are as fol-
lows: Singles, first, pair of silver
backed military brushes; second, silver
backed hat brush. Doubles, first prize,
silver backed clothes brushes. These
brushes will be engraved with the
initials Of the Scranton Lawn club and
the name of the event.
There is a movement on foot among
some Of the male members of the lawn
club to somewhat alter the sphere of
the lawn club and make it more SUBJ
stantial part of the local social struc-
ture. The plan in view contemplates
the purchase or lease of land along the
new boulevard upon which four or five
courts could be laid out and a club
house erected to be conducted on the
plan of country club. Such an insti-
tuition would be novel and attractive
and delightful place for informal So
cial affairs after practice in the courts,
besides providing stopping place for
members of the club who might care
to take a spin over the boulevard.
