At present the interest of all local tennis
players is centered in the tournament for the
championship of the District Of Columbia
which commences to-day on the grounds of
the Bachelors Lawn Tennis Club, on NJ
street, between Seventeenth and Eighteenth
streets.
The number of entries is larger and the
| names of more good players appear than
have been Forthcoming in any previous
tournament, which proves that the inter-
est in tennis is not dying out as predicted
| country.
It is largely due to the enthusiastic ex-
ample set by these older men that such
| players as Goodfellow, Geoghegan. Mast.
| Clark, Hills, McCammon and Clay have
been brought into prominence, and with
such men in the field it is a very I'M
settled question as to the results of this
| years play.
Mr.. Davidson seems to be the clone
/ wit al It,vu
! and Geoghegan q. close second. Consider
able interest has been expressed by the
fashionable world in the playing this year
| and the coming tournament will be the
social event of the week.
