What the Tennis Association can do, however, is to provide for us courts that will cost little to build, that will need only a little sprinkling and occasional rolling to keep in order, and that will be only better the more they are played on-we mean bare clay courts. At Princeton no turf courts are used at all. The courts are almost as bare as a billiard table, require but little work, and can be played on half an hour after a rain. The new land east of the new track could be made into bare courts at very little expense, by simply replacing the present thin layer of loam with one of clay, and grading so that the rain would not form puddles. Here is a chance for the officers of the Tennis Association to show that they are interested in the welfare of the members, by improving those courts on which the great majority of the members play, even though they do not use those courts themselves.
