Pell Cup 2019 THE PELL CUP 2019 AUGUST 15 – 18, 2019 THE NATIONAL TENNIS CLUB NEWPORT, RHODE ISLAND A HISTORY OF THE PELL CUP The Pell name is widely recognized in Rhode Island. Senator Claiborne Pell represented the state for six terms—from 1961 to 1997—and his signature accomplishment survives to this day: the Pell Grant. His cousin, C.C. Pell, Jr. (“Clarry”), had a signature achievement of his own, which also survives to today, in restoring the National Tennis Court on the grounds of the International Tennis Hall of Fame here in Newport. Before it was the international home to tennis, the Hall of Fame complex was simply a private club called the “Newport Casino.” Court tennis was one of many sports enjoyed on the grounds by its privileged Gilded Age members. The court tennis building, part of the original Casino complex in 1880, was badly burned in a fire in 1939 and all but abandoned. In the late 1970s, a group of devoted players and enthusiasts led by Clarence C. Pell—the National Court patrons—provided funding for the restoration through the United States Court Tennis Association (USCTA). Clarry oversaw the reconstruction personally. The informal reopening of the court, known as the National Tennis Court, occurred on September 29, 1979. It is the only public court tennis facility in the US. The official dedication was observed in August, 1980, following ceremonies at the conclusion of the first world doubles tournament for the Tiffany Cup. The Tiffany Cup became The Walsh Cup, then The National Tennis Cup, and finally was renamed The Pell Cup by former NTC President Jonathan Pardee in honor of Clarry’s many contributions to the game. It was a fitting tribute to the man, his vision and his tenacity. The very next year, the familiar pelican became the logo for this signature tennis event of summer.

We are delighted to welcome you back to Newport, Rhode Island—”The City by the Sea”—for one of the most popular events on the USCTA calendar, the Pell Cup. This event marks the last in a string of events held at the National Tennis Club: the World Masters, the U.S. Pro Singles, the Handicap Doubles, and finally the Pell Cup. Bringing together a pro division, a highly contentious A draw, and many lower tiers, the tournament boasts a unique feel, allowing professionals and amateurs alike to compete side- by-side on the storied Newport court. This year’s draw sees a strong professional draw, including the current world numbers 6, 7, 12, 15 and 16. As well, the top amateur in the country and a slew of others inside the top 20 will join in on the action. The B, C, D, and E brackets boast athletes from many clubs around the U.S. The National Tennis Club is excited to welcome so many players from all different locations and at all different levels to test their luck at Newport. The draws are sure to boast some great tennis, and the fun social events round out the weekend to make this an event to remember.

  • Waterfronts for Work and Play: Mythscapes of Heritage and Identity in Contemporary Rhode Island
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WATERFRONTS FOR WORK AND PLAY: MYTHSCAPES OF HERITAGE AND IDENTITY IN CONTEMPORARY RHODE ISLAND Kristen A. Williams, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Nancy L. Struna Department of American Studies My dissertation examines the relationship between heritage sites, urban culture, and civic life in present-day Rhode Island, evaluating how residents‟ identities and patterns of civic engagement are informed by site-specific tourist narratives of eighteenth, nineteenth and early twentieth-century labor histories. Considering the adaptive reuse of former places of maritime trade and industry as contemporary sites of leisure, I analyze the role that historic tourism plays in local and regional economic urban redevelopment. I argue that the mythscapes of exceptionalism mobilized at Rhode Island‟s heritage sites create usable pasts in the present for current residents and visitors alike, alternatively foregrounding and obscuring intersectional categories of difference according to contemporaneous political climates at the local, national and transnational levels. This study is divided into two parts, organized chronologically and geographically. While Part I examines the dominant tourist narratives associated with Newport County, located in the southeast of the state and including Aquidneck Island (also known as Rhode Island), Part II takes the historic tourism associated with mainland Providence Plantations as its case study and focuses exclusively on Providence County, covering the middle

Senior Theses, Trinity College, Hartford, CT 2012. Trinity College Digital Repository, http://digitalrepository.trincoll.edu/theses/200 Richard Upjohn and Richard Morris Hunt: The Evolution of Newport Domestic Architecture Caroline Peck Senior Art History Honors Thesis Professor Kathleen Curran May 2012 Peck 1 Introduction America’s largest and grandest home, the Biltmore (1890; figure 1), was commissioned by George Vanderbilt (1862-1914) to be built in Asheville, North Carolina. The house was designed by Richard Morris Hunt (1827-1895) and bears resemblance to three sixteenth century châteaux in the Loire Valley, France: Blois, Chenonceau, and Chambord. However, Biltmore was not the first of the Vanderbilt’s homes to replicate European designs and aesthetics from previous centuries. The most famous of these mansions were in Newport, and include Marble House (1888-1892; figure 2) and the Breakers (1893; figure 3), both designed by Hunt. Centuries after these homes were built in Newport, they continue to be synonymous with the wealth and decadence of Gilded Age Newport, and indeed, Gilded Age America. Hunt’s Newport legacy was based upon his work for the Vanderbilts, but his Newport career, perhaps surprising, began years before his work for this prominent family.

  • International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum Internship Program Internship Prog
    International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum Internship Program Overview The International Tennis Hall of Fame (ITHF), originally named the National Lawn Tennis Hall of Fame, was established in 1954 at the Newport Casino, and was sanctioned by the United States Tennis Association (known then as the USLTA). Originally enshrining only International Tennis Hall of Fame Americans, the first class was inducted in 1955. In 1975, Fred Perry became the first international tennis figure honored and in 1986, it 194 Bellevue Avenue was renamed the International Tennis Hall of Fame and was Newport, RI 02840 Tel: 401 849849----3990399039903990 recognized as the sport’s official Hall of Fame by the International Fax: 401 849849----8780878087808780 Tennis Federation. [email protected] www.tennisfame.com American tournament tennis began in 1881 in Newport, Rhode Island when the first U.S. National Lawn Tennis Championships were played. This tournament, which evolved into today’s US Open, was played at the Newport Casino until 1915, after which it moved to Forest Hills, New York. Today, it is held in Queens, New York. However, Newport’s historic tennis tradition continues each summer when the Hall of Fame presents the only professional tennis tournament played on grass in the United States. The ITHF distinguishes itself from other sports museums because tennis is still played on the grounds, and many historic champions have graced its grass courts. In 2013, the ITHF achieved accreditation from the American Alliance of Museums (AAM), the highest professional achievement in the museum industry. AAM Accreditation indicates that the ITHF is operating at the highest level of museum professional standards and demonstrates a commitment to excellence in all areas: governance, collections stewardship, public programs, financial stability, and continued institutional improvement.
