...universal desire expressed to have this year's changes in the Lawn Tennis rules placed before the lovers of that game. We therefore publish all the additions to, and changes in, the rules of last year, which were made last March, under the auspices of the three most prominent English clubs, in the hope that they may prove of assistance to the daily frequenters of Jarvis and Holmes.
