The club meets for practice every Saturday afternoon, but the grounds are open for the useof members on any week-day. The routine business of the club is entrusted to a governing committee of seven members, including the officers ex-officio. Altliough of very recent origin, the Scarsdale Tennis Club now forms a prominent feature in the social life of the town, and the scene at the grounds on a bright Saturday afternoon is charming and full of interest.

Amatkur Newspaper. -- Scarsdale has never been represented by a newspaper of its own except during a few months of the year 1885. In June of that year appeared the first number of T/ie Scars^dale Gleaner, a small four-page monthly, devoted to the interests of the town. This was entirely an amateur enterprise, being printed as well as edited within the limits of the township. Although but a modest undertaking, the Gleaner proved a great success, the circulation amounting to more than two hundred copies, and the subscription list embracing many outside of the town. With its fifth number the paj)er was obliged to suspend publication, owing to circumstances beyond the control of the amateur editors, and so, after a short but highly successful career, the only journalistic attempt on the part of the citizens of the town came to a conclusion.

NEW ROCHELI.E.* BY REV. CHARLES E. LINDSLEY, D.D.

The settlement of the Huguenots at New Rochellc is believed to have been begun as early as the year 1686-87, by certain refugees from the town of La llochelle, France. This was the year following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, by which unjust and impolitic act fifty thousand French families were driven from their homes to other countries. Many of them rted first to England, but subsequently found their way to America.
