A meeting was held at the high school
building, recently, for the purpose of
forming tennis association among the
young people of the town during the
coming summer. The old brickyard IN
the rear of Maple street, which was used
for court several years ago, and offers
an excellent opportunity for the game,
has been hired, and allows chance for
two courts. An organization was effect
ed, with the following officers. Presi-
dent, II. W. kimball; secretary and
treasurer, Edith Dyer; court committee,
Walter Hight, Fred Lawrence and Miss
Alice Wildes. Work has been begun on
the court and it is expected that it will
be ready for play the first Of the week.
Twenty members have thus far been Sc
cured, and at least a dozen more have
expressed their intention of joining.
Ladies' and gentlemen's tournaments
will be arranged among the members,
and will furnish sport for the summer.
As similar organization has recently
been formed at Fairfield, it is possible
that match tournaments may be ar
ranged between the two clubs, and
efforts are being made to bring 1t about.
Now, If those interested would form
golf club, our town would be brought up
to date in these healthy, out-of-door
pastimes. Who will start the move
ment?
