All the Oranges are looking forward with pleasant
authorizations TO the great Middle States Lawn
Tennis Tournament, with which the tennis season
the grounds of the Orange Lawn TENNIS LUZ
always opens. This year there will be fine list OF
entries Larned will defend the cup which ne mas
Won twice. Stevens will also contest for H. ana ne
also has two victories to his credit. If either OF
these cracks should win the trophy then the cuo
would have 10 put up another trophy for the next
years competition. But there are uncertainties IN
this struggle Rowland was defeated last year py
Larned only after long and bitter struggle ana he
will surely come in this year. Then too' there are
Wrenn and Hobart. who will try for the honors ana
so II Is not 30 sure that Larned will have things all
his own way. In the ladies' singles MISS Atkinson
and Miss Hellwig. and probably Mrs Toulmn, Of
Philadelphia, will contest
