Reorganize for the OpeningSeason .

Hon . C . E ." Pooley Chosen as Prcsident Congratulations to

Air . Kurd .

The annual general meeting of the Vic-

toria Lawn Tennis Club was held at thoHotel Driard yesterday evening , with Mr .

Musgravo in the chair . The report of thehonorary secretary was read , with the finan-

cial¬

statement of the honorary treasurer ,

these being as appended : 'BECBETABY'S REPoRT .

MR . PRESIDENT AND GENTLEMEN : -1 have

yourhfarlug, ¬

tar3 ' 's the proceedings of the clubsince trrlton: general meeting . Asyou will obsere from the acting honorarytreasurers report that besides monthlymembers the ranks of the club have beenswelled by die addition of ten new nameson the membership roll , with no resigna .

tions to detract from this saisfaciorystatc .

ment , and I think we ruaycongratuluteour-Bdyc* on such a proof of permanentsolidity .

In view of the long felt want of betteraccommodation for players and Ihe ac-knowledged throwing away of money yearafter year on temporary and unsatisfactoryrepairs and patches , necessitating endless !employment of labor , a special generalmeeting of the club was held on the secondday of October last in the ilriard hotel ,

when it trite decided to make certain ionprovements to the turf , and further , itfund ." would permit, , to take up one of tiltwooden cuiirts and to lay an additionalturf one in lieu thereof . The work bus beuexcellently curried cut by Mr . Moss , towhose conduct and management it was ronsignbd , and the club can now feel that it isin possession of three well laid grass courts ,in addition to the remaining wooden one ,which will: be adequate for the rather lim .lied number of players who " tread theboards . "

YresentIinHnclnl I

faction: , I am sure , for every member tofeel that we have been enabled from theI

actual revenue of the club to do so muchas has been done without jeopardizing ourcredit .

While on the subject of the new courts , Ibeg to remark that the two renovated oneswill be in condition to be played on assoon as the season opens , though it cannotbe expected to use the new oue until lateron nor even perhaps before the tournament .

On behalf of the committee it is my mostpleasant duty to tender our warmestthanks to those ladies who eo kindly andablyl assisted us during the last tournamentweek , and also to again place on record ourappreciation of the admiral's courtesy inpermi'ting) the attendance oi the excellentband' of1 the f.shtCeon the final day of thetennis festival must also beg \oheartily congratulate the gentlemen whoorganized and brought to such a successfulissue the dance at the Mount Baker hotel

From a players standpoint the past season may be judged as a very successful one .

The club lepresentntivcs , besides being suc ¬

cessful in the Cowichan and Alarrion street( Seattle ) tournaments , hold at the present

championshlpbinning the state of Washington men'sdoubles and the 1'acific Northwest championships in men's doubles , ladies ' doubles ,

mixed doubles and men's open singled . allof which are accredited and recognized bythe United States Lawn Tennis Associa .Hon . Appended to this report is a list of

ii the successful players . We were again very

fplayersfrom: ' .j

always so largely contribute to thesuccess of our annual meetings . The season was brought to a close at home by thejunior tournament which was conductedwith much enthusiasm by the youngerplayers: , the handicapping beingi very justand satisfactory:

. flue event should, beencouraged in every possibleI way with aview to bringingi laurels to the club in thefuture . '

We must all regret the departure of Mr .

H . U . llaincs whoso ably tilled the ofliceof honorary treasurer until a few weeks agobut must congratulate the Nelson LawnTennis Club on its acquisition of such anenthusiastic sportsman .foregolog ¬
