The tennis court has been covered
with ashes and rolled, making a good
hard court. Wire has been put
around it and other improvements
made. 1t is hoped that many will
avail themselves of the opportunity
to enjoy the splendid exercises and
sport that the game offers.
Membership fee is $1.00 for the
season. This fee is necessary on ac-
count of the cost of the rental of the
ground and the work done to put the
court in shape.
Those who play should do their
part by joining the club and will then
feel free to use the court as much as
they wish.
