Tennis Season Opens.

The tennis season has opened with
the Orleans Tennis club having a full
membership and every member is an
enthusiastic if not efficient player.
The court has been improved by the
addition of new tapes and net and the
entire court has been surrounded by
high wire netting. Seats are being
provided for spectators. The club
has arranged midsummer tourna-
ment which is now being played off
with view of selecting team to
meet some of the tennis cracks which
may be developed by the new court at
Barton. In the preliminaries H. S.
Webster has beaten James Laughton
and F. E. Wheeler has beaten Clar-
ence Bushey. Among those remain
ing to play are Clyde Heath VS.. Hugh
Rowell; DR.. Wells VS.. Colby Stod-
dard; Arthur Austin VS.. Fred ALL
church and Dean Corley VS.. Fred Will
key. The winners of the matches
will compete until by the process of
elimination a champion has been Sc
lected. 1t is now probable that one
or more matches will be played every
a. ternoon until the tournament is fin
ished. Ladies are welcome to the use
of the court at any time when it is
not occupied by club members and
several have been taking advantage
of the opportunity. Spectators are
cordially invited to witness either the
practice games or any of the matches
of the tournament.
