In a. notice sent out by the tourna-
ment committee it is explained that
the association now has a member-
ship or 600. from which there will
probably be 400 entries. It is then;-
fore suggested that those who can
only play on certain days send in
their names early, for it may be
necessary to change the late entries
so that each tournament will have
approximately the same number or
contestants. Furthermore. it is ex-
plained that it is impossible to take
care of more than 200th a day. as
th'c first pair must start at 8 A. M.
daylight saving time and the last
pair at 3:45 P. M. to accommodate
that number. _
Absolutely no entries will be ac-
cepted'after September 4. The annual
dinner of the association will be held
at the Apawamis Club Wednesday
evening September 12. at 7:80 P.
M.. at which time there will be the
annual election of ofilcers. informal
speeches and music. The- time
selected for the annual dinner makes
it convenient for those playing in

days of the tournament.

from Rye is such that those who

turn to the city that evening is
necessary. All communications re-
garding the tournament should be
