SUNDAY TENNIS

How About the Zoo ? Castle wants the Sunday tennis question to be re-' considered, and is moving to tliat effect in the Council. Eastbourne residents will certainly not thank the Newtown Councillor for endeavouring to prevent Sunday tennis at Day's Bay. So far no Eastbourne people have objected to young people and soldiers engaging in a harmless and wholesome pastime on what are now the Municipal Courts. Sunday tennis is no more harmful to the morals of young people than the inspection of Councillor Castle's squawking, chattering and malodorous pets at the 'Zoo. The courts are well away from the road, and tennis at any time is no rowdy game. To be consistent, Councillor Castle should give every monkey in his beloved Zoo a sleeping draught every Saturday night and so prevent the citizens being lured to the Zoo on Sunday afternoon and being tempted to irreligious laughter by the way in which the monkeys and the lemurs twiddle their tails and swing .on the bars in apish glee on the Lord's Day.
