The annual Tennis Tournament al
ways causes a considerable amount of
interest and excitement and the value
of players who come to be pitted
against one another becomes manifest
to the lockers on and those who take
an interest in the game, One of the ad-
vantages Of tennis is that it is game
in which both sexes can mingle, and
the ladies prove themselves by no
means inferior to the men in their skill
In the game. There is nothing prettier
than a brilliant game Of tennis, and the
brllintly arranged mass of spectators
who surround the courts Tennis is the
burgeoning of the summer crop Of flow
ers as it We're and there is more inter-
est taken in it because Of the mixture
Of the sexes, than there would be if only
a single sex played, The Tennis clubs
do much to relieve the monotony Of
life in their proper season. But they do
far more than this, they supply healthy
exercise and excitement to the sex that
needs it most

1t is quite time to turn our attention
to proper celebration of July A. To
organize a proper and worthy celebra-

which, for such a purpose, are COM
paratively easy to obtain, but care and
distribution of work among those who
are willing to give their time to the
patriotic object are specially necessary
to make a success.
