...playing on the old courts. This charge enables him to play continuously, as long as he wishes. (Leaving the grounds for a short interval will be overlooked). In the same manner a charge of ten cents will be livied on men using the new clay courts. Again, on the grass courts the charges will be fifteen cents for each player, if engaged in a four-handed game, and twenty cents if engaged in a two-handed game. These charges will not seem large in view of our new advantages, and the fact of the necessity of repaying the money loaned...

A player can transfer from one court to a better one by paying the necessary increased amount, but in no case shall a player be stopped after any length of play on a court.

During the summer 30 more clay courts made of that material which is found to be best will be laid out upon Holmes and Jarvis Fields in places that will not interfere with the other sports, also a space for two more grass courts will be turfed adjacent to the other eight. This will give to the college next fall 45 courts, as good as any in the country. Should these not prove sufficient for the demand, in the following year (1886) courts to the number of 12 could be laid...
