TENNIS COURTS MAY SWAY

one Of the reasons urged in behalf o.
the site on the Manchester side - the
fact that tennis courts can be con
structcd, although the opponents OF
that site contend that they will b.

maintained at n big cost. owing to the
necessity OF digging off the refuse at-
ter each frcShet.
In case the Fulton site is selected.
the course for the annual rrgattaS

Plans for the big regatta are bcin.s

which is capable OF accommodating
practically the entire city OF Richmond.
The Virginia Boat Club now has 1t
