James Dwight. president OF the United States Ma

sage Just received from q. R Mewburu secretary
of the English Lawn Tennis Association. conveyed
the information that the notifications 70 the regu-
lations suggested oy the United States National

agreed TO.
some time ago the English Lawn Tennis Associa-
uon submitted certain proposed changes to France,
EPeISlun ana the United States. and tho United
states association, IN turn, made certain suECes-
tons. One Of the principal changes suggested bv
the EngIlsh association TO do away with the
necessity OF twenty-one days notice Of the names
or members OF a team, and also, in the case OF a
team of four men, OF the contests in which thew
would take part This change was acceptable 70
the United states assOca ton. but there was doubt
as 10 whether the changes would be agreed on BY
the several associations in tio take effect this
year.
Il would appear by the message Just received that
this years competition az Wimbledon England
would be played under the new rules This being
the case, team OF four men undoubtedly Will =
