Harvard Lawn Tennis.

The preliminary contest to select the players who are to go to New Haven to represent Harvard in the contest for the intercollegiate lawn tennis championship, which takes place on October 8, took place yesterday on the Beck Hall courts. P. S. Sears beat R. D. Brown 9-7, 8-6, and H. Tallant beat Q. A. Shaw in two sets. Tailer will play Tallant at two o'clock today and the winner will probably play Sears.

In the doubles Sears and Shaw will play together, Lee and Tallant, Tailer and Chase. The time of playing will be arranged to suit the convenience of the players, and will probably be some time tomorrow.
