The Seabright Lawn Tennis and Cricket Club is one of the oldest active tennis clubs in the United States. It was organized in 1877 and incorporated in 1886 [ [http://www.nr.nps.gov/writeups/91000883.nl.pdf NHL Writeup] ] . The Seabright Invitational Tournament was a major tournament from 1884 through 1950 [ [http://tps.cr.nps.gov/nhl/detail.cfm?ResourceID=2105&resourceType=Building NHL Details] ] . It was ended not because of funding, but because the members grew tired of the fuss. [ [http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,858933,00.html Time Magazine, August 14, 1950] ] .
