Historyedit
In 1893, the club was renamed the Morristown Field Club and offered baseball, football as well as cricket.
In 1895, women were allowed to become members and paid $5 in annual dues.[2] In 1897 an annual horse show was introduced. In 1900 the club joined the New Jersey Lawn Tennis Association, and in 1905 the club hosted the first New Jersey State Tennis Tournament, an event held each year up until 1916. In 1921 the club held a benefit tennis exhibition with Bill Tilden. In 1941 the club moved to 168 James Street. The land was purchased from the widow of Robert D. Foote. A new club house was built and the club switched to tennis as its only sport.[2]
