The Outdoor Woman.

Although much has been said, and some
of it undoubtedly with truth, about the
way in which golf has gradually thrust
lawn tennis out of the place it once held
in popular favor, the effect of the new
game in This direction has certainly been
somewhat exaggerated. Tennis is SO far
from being dead" as many of the golf
enthusiasts have declared, that the adj
jectlve as applied to it is wholly absurd.
1t is true that private courts are not
seen nearly so often now as they were
this fact is that tennis has become almost
entirely a club game. In doing SO, more
over, it has merely followed the general
tendencies of the day. Unquestionably
sufficient interest has been shown in the
principal tennis events of the past season
to prove to lovers of the game that there
is no occasion for abandoning il in favor
of any other. When we think of the num-
ber OF people in this country who are in
terested in outdoor sports, and the variety
of tastes which they display in regard
to them, it is ridiculous to imply that there
is not room for all that we have yet
adopted. and even for the introduction OF
new ones, without any necessity for con-
flict. There have boen some people, OF
course. who have dropped tennis in favor
of golf, but even il the number had been
much larger, there would still he plenty of
adherents to the older game, which has
far too many excellent points ever to per
init its abandonment.-Harp Bazaar.
