WIMBLEDON, July 10, 1875.
The weather this morning was not very re.
assuring. Heavy clouds obscured the sky
and at intervals showers of rain fell. About
noon, however, the aspect of the day changed
and the ground gradually dried before the
hour appointed for the match between the
Lords and Commons. Fashionable London
had turned out to witness the contest, not
withstanding the threatening nature of the
weather. Spacious marques had been
erected for the accommodation of the brilliant
and distinguished company, for whose use
comfortable chairs had been provided SC as to
enable them to witness the progress cf the
contest without inconvenience or fatigue.
The dresses were rather fashionable than
brilliant, q circumstance wholly due 10 the
unsettled state Of the elements. In the mar
quee on the right the Princess Louise sat with
Lady Wharncliffe, the Marquis of Hertford,
Lord Chamberlain, the Duke Of Westminster
and his daughter and other distinguished
people. In the marquee on the lett were as
sembled ladies, members of the House Of
Commons, church dignitaries and persons
lprominentin science, art and politics.

Of the Lords and Commons appeared upon
the ground and began firing experimental
shots to obtain the correct elevation. Some
dozen shots were fred with this object.

Hyperion hair of that distinguished statesman

gressman Roosevelt.
