The surprise of the day was the defeat of
Duryea of Williams college by P. Sears of
Harvard. The score was 50, 81. A year
ago Duryea defeated Sears by score of 6 4,
81. The most interesting match of the day
was the Yale Williams match in which
Knapp of Yale in playing the doubles with
Thatcher, against Duryea and Broughton of
Williams, showed much of his old form and
alertness. His playing brought forth rounds
of applause from the spectators.
At meeting of the delegates to the Inter
collegiate association held for the purpose of
electing officers and trausacting other rou-
tine business connected with the association,
held at the New Haven House last night, it
was voted to re adopt the present Wright
and Ditson ball. This is certainly gratifying
to the Messrs. Wright and Ditson, as the
ball has been tried for year by the colleges
who preferred it to all others.
The officers elected for the ensuing year
are: G. NJ. Brinley, Trinity, who was re-
elected; P. S. Sears, Harvard. vice president;
H. w. Cooley, Yale 'eS, secretary and treas
urer.
A unanimous vote of thanks was rendered
the New Haven Lawn club for the use of
their very commodious and beautiful
grounds. The sentiment of those present at
the meeting was that the tournament of 'S7
should be held at the same place.
In to-day's play in The singles, which will
commence in the morning, Brinley meets
Chase, Bacon meets Thatcher, P. Sears meets
the winner of the match between Wright of
Trinity and Hall of Columbia, Paddock
meets Larkin. In the second round singles
there will be four persons in, and it is ex
pected that the finals of the singles will be
played off Thursday morning.
In the doubles this afternoon Knapp and
Thatcher, of Yale, will meet Hamlin and
Wright, and Larkin and Langley will meet
the winner of the match between Brinley and
Paddock and the Sears Bros. of Harvard.
Mr.. H. A. Ditson, of the firm of Wright &
Ditson of Boston, Who has done so much to
association and tennis at large, was present
throughout yesterdays games an interested
spectator. He thinks the grounds well adapt

adopted by the association last night
The prizes which have been selected are
unusually handsome and appropriate. They
will be on exhibition at the club house on
the grounds on Thursday.
A very encouraging fact was learned by
the managers of the tournament when the
receipts were found to about double the first
days receipts of year ago. This shows
the very marked and increasing interest
which is being taken in the now popular
game of tennis. This year there were eight
more entries than year ago.
No college tournament has ever been more
successfully opened and under fairer auspices
than this years intercollegiate, was the gen
eral verdict of the players and spectators
yesterday. This fact is owing in a great
measure to the executive ability of the Off
GERS and also to the kindness of the New Ha-
ven Lawn club in rendering their splendid
grounds for the use of the associations tour
nament. "The grounds ale far superior to any
ever played on" said a prominent player
yesterday. There are twelve courts in excel
lent condition and all can be used at the
same time. g.
