Below is given a resume of the scores made in the tennis tournament which have been given before as they were played. The tournament, despite the lax method in which it was conducted has been moderately successful. The number of players engaged was large and some of the play excellent. Unfortunately, Mr. Taylor was unable to contest on account of the accident which he met with at Hartford.

He says he has studied the English method thoroughly, and is so impressed with the good starts effected at the various meetings in England that he is determined, if possible, to introduce the system into this country. This is the way Mr. Myers says it should be done : "First, assign each man his mark, and inform them not to get into position until told to do so. The men must not be allowed to walk around hitching their pants, etc., but must stand bolt...
