...shut out from playing now ; every one has a vital interest in the welfare of the association, for every one is part of the association. In former years trouble has been caused because certain men were arbitrarily given rights to courts, while the great mass of players could only avail themselves of courts when the so-called "owners" did not wish them. All this has been done away with, and there is now no reason why any one should refrain from joining on any such ground. We repeat that we earnestly hope the notice of the need of more money...

The only remedy for this evil is to raise the flagstones a few inches...
...attendance at the daily prayers of the society, during Lent, for prayers at Appleton Chapel. These services are held at 5.45 P. M., except on Wednesday, when they will be at 7 P. M., and on Saturdays at 8.45 A. M. It is hoped that a large number will avail themselves of this privilege. It is necessary to give notice at the office of intention to make this substitution...
