 Yesterday was another beautiful day for the tennis players taking part in the inter- collegiate tennis tourney.

The game was the event of the day and when the four players came on to the grounds, with rackets in hand, they were loudly applauded by the spectators present.

To-day in the singles Knapp of Yale will play Paddock of Trinity, and Duryea of Williams will play the winner.
