1890-1901 United States National Lawn Tennis Association U.S. National Pairs Championship Challenge Trophy
This artistic trophy was first awarded to Valentine Hall and Clarence Hobart in 1890 and was retired by Dwight Davis and Holcombe Ward after their third win in 1901. Between 1890 and 1901, various doubles teams won the title. Amongst these champions were Oliver Campbell, Fred Hovey, Malcolm Chace, and Robert Wrenn.
In 1893, the U.S. National Men’s Doubles Championship was played at the St. George Cricket Club in Chicago rather than at the Newport Casino in Newport, Rhode Island. This move was decided upon at the February 1893 Annual Meeting of the United States National Lawn Tennis Association. According to the 1894 Wright & Ditson Official Lawn Tennis Guide, sixteen pairs were represented in the draw, coming from the East, the West, and the Pacific Coast.
