Tennis.

The season which is just opening promises to excel all its predecessors, so far as the membership of our Club is concerned. Even already there are sufficient players up on Saturday afternoons to more than doubly fill our courts, and when the examinations are past still greater numbers will probably avail themselves of the opportunity to play. Intending members, however, need uol let this deter them from joining, since it is seldom that one has to wait long for a game. and. moreover, the approach of the various inter-club contests will relieve the crowded condition of the courts.

The committee have decided to level the two eastern courts, which were laid down slightly raised, in order to counteract a depression in the filled-in portion of the courts, which, unhappily, did nut eventuate. It has been decided to defray the cost of this work by effecting economies in various branches of club expenditure. One of the directions in which economies have been effected is in the provision of afternoon tea. which is now to be left to individual members of the Club who may be willing in turn to provide it. This suggestion has met with a warm response on the part of the members, who appear not only willing, but anxious to undertake the duties of hosts in the afternoons.
