thusiastic bowlers every night TO see

steep hills, rocks and sand, there will
be sixty acres of beautiful lawn, gen.

In comparing the accomplishments
On the lawn tennis courts during 1905
with that of previous years, no doubt
can be entertained of the progress
made in the past season; the general
ship of the game. the diCkering for pO-
sitiOn to force your opponent and the
strokes and versatility of style which
lie open for development, are under
stood here as never before by the gen
eral player. The morale of the game
has been maintained in keeping with
the national tennis law that neither
money considerations nor professional
ism shall sully its hitherto pure record.
In giving a resume for 1905, there
falls first to be mentioned, the forma-
ion of the IntermOuntain Lawn Ten
lis association. This gave ample rea-
son for its existence by advertising its
tournaments: 1t brought players of en-
inence from the surrounding states and
supplied a healthy impetus to the
game. The tournament pulled off by
the association, and managed by Pres
ident Captain Frank D. Ely, Secretary
Dorsey Ash and Referee Oscar L. Cox
of the Y. M. C. A. did credit to the
officials and to their mountain homes,
while the facilities placed at the dis
pOsal Of the association by the officers
at Fort Douglas made the event one

the participants and their friends.
