At the Mohawk club, Schenectady
n. Y. the tennis courts have been
equipped with large electric lamps
mounted overheard to permit of night
playing without the objections gener-
ally obtaining on court lighted by
lamps placed around the side lines. Not

necessary to produce adequate illumina-

lamps are equipped with reflectors
having special skirts which conceal the
