The Meter,s Record

A representative Of the gas depart
ment called en- a householder and I'm
timated that he was afraid something
was wrong with the meter. From the
official point Of view, of course. meters
can only show one fault. and the symp-
tom which had cast suspicion on this
meter was that IL had registered less
during the quarter than in the CORE
spending part OF the previous year
But the lady Of the house has a con
vincing explanation Of the decline.
"You See she said. my daughter
was engaged last winter. She got
married in June"
The official. who was evidently a
parent himself. was quite satisfied
and the meter left the court without
a stain upon its high character.

FIGHT OYER NEWPORT
BEGINS IN EARNEST.
Tennis Players Committee Asks
All Clubs FavOring Change
to Forward Proxies.
MEETING Is IN FEBRUARY

The campaign OF the tennis players
committee to transfer the national tennis
championship from Newport to Forest
Hills, was advanced yesterday by the
sending out OF requests for proxies to
all OF the clubs which are members OF
the United States National Association
That the committee is well aware Of the
fact that It has hard fight on its hands
is indicated by the following excerpt from
the letter which accompanies the request
for proxies:
The opponentssof the proposed change
are circularizing the clubs advocating a
years delay for further discussion. seem
ingly purposcly disrcgarding the fact that
nearly the whole 1911 annual meeting was
taken up In discussing this same matter,
and that II has been before the players
ever since that time"
In addition to the above arraignment Of
the opposition the letter reviews the situa-
ton. and states i'm detail the reasons why
the players who are serving on the Nom-
mittce think that the proposed change
would benefit the game The actual re-
quest for proxies Is wordcd as follows:
we ask your club to give the enclosed
circular cmbudytng some of our reasons
for advocating this change careful at
tention. Unfortunately fair consideration
Of this proposed change In the usual man
ner is made impossible at an annual
meeting owing in part to the limited time
open for discussion. and also because GER
tain officers Of the association yearly hold
numbers of unnstructed proxies and
naturally vote according to their own per-
sonal nCliuatiors
"1n 1911. after fair discussion on the
floor at the annual meeting, a consider
able majority OF the delegates present voted
on the merits Of the argument In favor
OF removing the championship from New
port and yet the motion was defeated In
the main by the uninstructed proxy vote.
This was done Notwithstanding the fact
that the desire of the majority was clearly
emphasized i'm favor OF the change pro-
posed.
at is with the above instance in mind,
and with a view to prevent the repetition
OF clubs voting against their possible IN
china tons. that We desire every club 10 he
enabled this year to register its own vote
for or against holding the singles cham
ponship In New York.
I'VE therefore urge you to send per-
sonal delegates to the annual meeting in
February. IT this Is impossible and you
have confidence in the undersigned We
would ask you to make your proxy on the
enclosed blank form to Holcombe Ward.
Harold II. HdcNett and Karl II. Bchr, with
power Of substitution. Please mail your
proxies to l.. r.. Mahan. III Broadway,
New York city
IF YOU have already forwarded your
proxy uninstructed to any one we would
further urge you to mail your proxy
holder instructions relative to this matter
or revoke such uninstructed proxy and
make out one OF the enclosed in our favor. "
