cussed in detail at meeting Of the

which Julian S Myrick is chairman.
This committee acts with the one rep
resenting the United States National
Lawn Tennie observation-disclosures +.
Adee, Edwin F. Torrey. c. friedrich
Watson, Jr. Tho preliminary arrange
ments involve several changes which
are expected to find favor with every
ono interested In the events.
Because of the fact that SIX cham
pionshipe are to be decided 1t this
addition to the singles titles. the 9TH
ers whose holders will be determined
are the junior and boye champion
ships in singles and doubles. the vet
efans' championship and the father
and son championship. This variety
Of competition, as an attraction for
the spectators. will be increased by
the probable entry Of many players
of note from other countries.
In view Of these favorable pros
poets the committee decided to re-
turn to q seating plan approximating
that of 1914 when Thousands of spec
tators were accommodated. Con-
struction work will begin in a few
weeks as the erection Of the stands
is something of task. Hugh G..
Gnuler has charge of this.
Of the working press gallery on the
roof of the clubhouse porch. This
brings it closer to the courts and play
ers, but because Of the limited space
seats will be assigned to working rep
resentatives only, on application from
the papers which desire to be repre-
senated. Edward B. Moss. o. L.
Becker and Paul B. wiliame have
charge of ARRANGEMENTS. for the press.

sirable to provide more definite means
