Lawn Tennis Cr.un Erpe.—The members of this club held a fancy folo on .Saturday last, one shilling admission being charged, to defray the cost of a new sand court that has lately been laid, and if there should be a surplus it will bo handed over to the Library Improvement Fund. The attendance was good, about IbO being present, and if the weather had been more settled wo do not doubt but that the number would have been greatly increased. Many of the members were attired in fancy costume, and played several sets during the afternoon, which appeared to greatly amuse the spectators. The Cambridge band was in attendance, and the lady members provided tea and a host of other good things which they handed round. Among the members in fancy dress we noticed the following ;—Mrs W. S, .-stewnrt, M.A. of Dublin l iuvor sity ; Mrs John Hally, .Jenny Deans ; Miss Dwynneth, Tyrolese Peasant; Miss I!. Mackay, ('.leaner; Miss X. Mackay, Haymaker; Miss R. Young, .Spanish Lady; Miss M.

During the latter part of the afternoon Mr Ansenne appeared as a Swiss shepherd, and Mr Porter caused great amusement by appearing on a pony that is well-known in Cambridge as “Jumbo.” Mr Xowriok took a photo ot the members in fancy costume, grouped with Jumbo in the background. Wo trust a substantial amount has been realised, so that the library fund, which is in need of (;olp, may benefit thereby.
