club will give dinner at Levy's at 8
o'clock this evening to w. A. Clark, jr.,
in recognition of his services as presi-
dent during the last year.

TENNIS TOURNAMENT
IS NOW PLANNED
Expected That There Will Be
Many Entries.

In order to create interest in lawn
tennis and to promote a tournament
to determine the best players in the
city, a tennis association will be
formed at a meeting TO be held some
time this week. The Country Club has
given permission to make use OF its
courts during the tournament.
1t is expected there will be many
entries as the game Is growing in
popularity. The courts at the play
grounds are in constant use and many
interesting matches are played on pri-
vate courts. There is large number
OF first class players and 1t Is believed
a tournament would be the best means
to draw these players into match con-
tests. The association is regarded as
the proper organization to conduct a
tournament and at the same time pro-
mote the game. Prizes will be offered
to the winners.

City Council Still Attends to
Routine Matters in Open
Meetings.
COUNCILMEN COMP LAIN
TELL THEIR FELLOWS OF BAD
CONDITIONS OVER THE CITY
AND THEN REFER THEM TO
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.

1t was the same old story last
evening and indications are that never
will time cause any change. In the
years gone by, before there was such
an organization as the board of public
works, all routine matters such as
street and sewer conditions were
brought before council and referred by
the mayor to the proper committee.
The recent law did away with this and
works should attend to all matters of
the kind. Blanks have been pre-
pared upon which councilmen are ex-
pected to make any recomme ndations
to the board it is believed necessary.
But the old plan of bringing up all
such matters in open council is con-
tinued and this makes the meetings
as tedious and protracted as formerly.
The meeting of last evening saw no
change.
Mr.. Brown called attention to the
condition of the public drinking foun-
tain at Tenth and South c streets.
of repairs. He also called attention
to vacated pole at Thirteenth and
South E streets that has not been re-
moved
Mr.. Ogborn directed attention to the
condition of the gutter at Eighth and
North I streets. There is no outlet
for water in the cutters and it backs
up over the sidewalks and into yards.
He reported the foundation to the
fountain at Tenth and North G streets
as in bad shape and said it is falling
down.
Mr.. Wettig complained that the
sewer in the alley south of c between
South Tenth and Eleventh streets
does not carry away the water as
| rapidly as it accumulates.
The crossing at Fort Wayne avenue,
| North Sixth and c streets is too high,
| according to Mr.. Deuker He says it
| is a source of inconvenience to auto
| mobilists and the fire department
wagons.
He spoke of the overflow of water
from the inlet to the sewer at Eighth
and North E streets and says it ex-
tends over the sidewalks and runs
into the cellars following heavy rains.
Mr.. O'Neal of the board says the mat
ter is being investigated at once and
the necessary remedy will be found.
The pet hobby of councilman-at-
large H. H. Engelbert, was put on dis
play again. He complained about the
condition of North Eighth street. He
was assured by the board this street
will be given attention as soon as the
Y. NJ. c. A. building is completed and
distractions removed. Engelbert had
another chance to say he wants to
see the street bricked.
