SECOND TENNIS COURT
 TO- BE BUILT AT ONCE

Their enthusiasm for the great net game undampened by the rain of the past few days, local tennis fans have organized anDassociation for the construction of second court in the city. Under the leaS crship of Charles E. Harland and l.. D. Henderson, nearly $500 has been raised for the purpose, enough to insure an immediate start on the building of the court and compile tion within the next ten days.
 The court will be situated at the corner of Fifth and Gold Streets, on the lot lying east of the Spickett Apartments. It will be board court, similar to the one now in use at Fourth and Seward, except that the boards will run lengthwise. and the netting will be of closer mesh.
 MT. Harland stated today that Contractor A. M. Clare expects to begin construction of the court to- morrow morning and rush the job through to completion about August l :. While the building fund is still about $100 short of the amount con- sidered necessary to build and equip the court, it is thought there will be no difficulty in securin~ pledges from business men and others to make up the difference. Practically plete list of which will be available for publication tomorrow. are con tributing ten dollars apiece.
 Tennis Over Tubers.
 The site of the new court is at present occupied by a flourishing potato patch, but satisfactory ar engagements have been made with Rev. Kashevaroff, the lessee, so that a little thing like a spud farm will not interfere with the pursuit of sport. The one court in Juneau has become so popular that during the recent spell of fine weather 1t could not begin to accommodate the players, and the necessity for an other court has proved very evident. Although most of the playing season has passed, the wisdom of immed- fate construction of another court is recognized, so that it will be avail able at the very beginning of next season. "'i
 The game has taken on like wild fire in Juneau and has brought out much hidden talent, and that it is now a permanent fixture here is assured. t

 The Weather Prophet of the lodge. recently created station, by tho way, after studying all the signs. including the well known "hi' sign of Lou" Harding, this afternoon is sued an official forecast in which it is set forth that by Sunday morning rainfall will have ceased for the day at least. These arguments are ad- vanced in support of the forecast which the publicity committee ac. cepted only after much persuasion both moral and strong-arm: the barometer, who owns it, is an unset tied question, has been climbing steadily upward for two days and continued it's upward trend all today and is decidedly bearish; steam has been noticed rising from all the streams in the vicinity of Juneau both today and yesterday, and rein forcing these favorable indications are the facts that it is we'll estab- lished that it can't rain forever and that the Masons are going to have picnic Sunday
