That choir could be heard in New York twenty men and twenty-five women. Among them Mr Simon Huntington, the great grandson of Washington's aide-de- camp, was as straight as an arrow and a fine man."
 As to the church, 'HThe westinghouse had a, round dome of a sounding board in the middle of it. The pews were square with seats around two sides. My aunts had wooden and brass foot stoves, and we children sat around on footstools on the floor. These are some of the lasting memories that remained with MT. Stedman of the Norwich Town westinghouse to which, as a wee boy, he trudged in care of his aunts three times each 'Sabba' Day."

 The rain will help the ground con- siderable. and it is seldom that a tournament week passes but what there is a rainstorm, but often harder than the one of Tuesday.
 J. L. Bailey, who was here the first of the week, went to New York on business, but may return later in the week, but probably will not play.
 The badges were distributed to the players on Tuesday. There are eleven entered in the first division and four teen in the second.
 There is one court less this year, owing to the one at the north of the clubhouse having been discontinued to make room for a tennis court. It is believed it will cause no congestion, however.
