Ex-libris: Clarence Cecil Pell (1885-1964)

Clarence C. Pell was a retired stockbroker and a noted racquets player.

Mr. Pell was a descendant of the Pells who were hereditary lords of the manor of Pelham under a grant from King Charles II and who sold part of the land in 1688 to Huguenot settlers, who then founded New Rochelle. In the deed the city was obliged to provide the family annually with "one fatt calfe."

He was a younger brother of Herbert Claiborne Pell, a former United States Representative from New York and a diplomat, and an uncle of Senator Claiborne Pell, Democrat of Rhode Island. John H. G. Pell, financier and historian and former chancellor of Long Island University, is a cousin.

He was educated at the Pomfret School and at Harvard, where he was graduated in 1908 and was captain of the hockey team. He became a stockbroker in New York, retiring in 1929.

In World War I Mr. Pell served overseas as an aviator, holding a captaincy in what was then the aviation section of the Army Signal Corps.

U.S. Champion 21 Times

The war interrupted his record as a perennial racquets champion of the United States. He held the singles title 12 times between 1915 and 1933. Paired with Stanley G. Mortimer, he won the doubles championship nine times. In 1925 he won the British singles championship, the only foreigner to have achieved this.

The scene of many of his triumphs was the Racquet and Tennis Club in New York, of which he was president from 1933 to 1942. He was also for many years a governor of the Piping Rock Club, Locust Valley, L. I.

Racquets is usually played on a roofed court 80 feet long and 40 feet wide with walls 40 feet high. The players stand facing one of the narrow walls known as the front wall and hit the ball with a gut‐strung bat or racket at each other by rebound off the front, as in squash or handball.

The Racquet and Tennis Club, familiarly known as the R&T, is a private social and athletic club at 370 Park Avenue, between East 52nd and 53rd Streets in Midtown Manhattan, New York City.

History

The Racquet Court Club was organized April 28, 1875 and opened May 27, 1876 at 55 West 26th Street. It had two racquets courts, an indoor running track and two bowling alleys. In 1890, it merged into the newly incorporated Racquet and Tennis Club, which planned to build a tennis court, moving the following year to a second, larger clubhouse at 27 West 43rd Street (1891). This second clubhouse had two racquets courts, one fives court and one court tennis court. The Club moved to its third, and current, home in 1918.

IBS C must have!
I have been suffering with OBS C for a very long time now and my doctor through Amazon Care (if you haven't downloaded that app yet, do it now) recommend that I take magnesium and the Align probiotic with breakfast and Metamucil in the evening before bed. I am finally feeling better and have not had any issues using the restroom! I recommend for sure. The taste is meh but I would rather down something that doesn't taste great as long as I feel better anyway!

Very functional for our family - We ordered a second one
Color: Black
We were happy to stumble on this paper towel holder after trying a few that just either didn’t look great and didn’t work well. We really like the black matte finish and the fact that the base is pretty heavy so you can actually tear off a paper towel without the whole thing toppling over. The spray/cleaner is an added bonus to have right there also. It’s awesome for craft time and cleanup after kids. We purchased one for both our kitchen table and our rental property and they both function great and have been holding up very well. Happy with the purchase!

Amazing - Buy it!
Color: Black, Color: Black
This item is so helpful! I am a home baker and practically live in my kitchen. So anything to help me clean quickly and efficiently is a MUST. The holder itself is sleek and super cute, the matte black matches my decor perfectly! Having the mini spray bottle you can fill and place directly in the holder makes everything so accessible! I don’t have to pull out cleaners, then paper towels, it’s all a one stop shop. Plus, super helpful to clean as you go! This item doesn’t take up lots of space either. I will definitely be checking out other items from this brand to organize the rest of my kitchen!

So Convenient!
Color: Black
This product is so convenient! I love the spray bottle attachment for easy clean up. It works great for kitchen counters or even to keep in the bathroom for quick clean ups. The color is so sleek and the quality is impressive and heavy duty. I highly recommend out of 10!

Sprayer breaks, but concept is great. Get different one.
Great and useful idea, but spray isn’t good. Even when it worked it didn’t release enough fluid, and it jammed and broke within two days. Luckily I swapped the spray head for one from another product, so I can still use the stand as it should have worked. Get a different kind, and you will love it if it works.
