Two good grass courts have been laid out and a shed erected and trees are to be planted. It is with deep regret I haye to record the death of one of the most regular attendants at the courts, one who never missed a chance of being among the players, and evidently enjoyed the game as much as any. Meilo was well-known and to his death we must ascribe the defeat the town members suffered on Saturday last.
