Additional Details

Appears to be the first American magazine devoted to tennis. It was a subsidiary publication to the more general Outing Magazine, and was apparently issued only in the summer months. This may be a continuous run. The title in Volume III changes to "Outing Weekly Record: Lawn Tennis, Cricket and Other Pastimes." Not in Henderson, Lomazow, or Phillips. One run in OCLC (St. John's University, which also holds Volume 4 from 1893), and none traced at auction.
