THE TENNIS TOURNAMENT.

A Large Crowd Witness the Second Days Games The Match Between Sears and Campbell Won by Har- vard,s Champion-Yesterda PIays- To-Day's Programme. A cool brisk morning dawned uopon the second days work of the intercollegiate tennis tournament at the grounds of the New Ha- ven Lawn club yesterday, but everything favored good playing. The many spectators gathered about the piazzas of the club house and scattered here and there over the grounds were wrapped in comfortable winter garments and seemed to enjoy the sharp winds that blew across the courts.
 More than half of those there were ladies, and they looked even more happy in their warm garments of fur, long hooded ulsters
 and tastefully draped wraps than their gal lant escorts. Interest in the games is of course largely made up the great bulk of spectators, but many New Haven people and guests from other places were present on the grounds. The great contest of the day was that be- tween Sears, the champion of Harvard, and Campbell, Columbia favorite tennis player. They came on the court at 10 o'clock. The first set was easily won by Sears, the ! score being 6-3. In the second Campbell played with splen- did dexterity and won it by 75. The third set was strongly played by Campbell at the start, but Sears gradually \ outplayed him and won by 8 score of S-6. ' Campbell seemed in better condition thar \ Sears as the fourth set began. Both played \ with vim and determination. This set wal \ the critical one. Each watched every oppor. \ tunity and had recourse to every strategy the rules of tennis will permit. Campbell took | the lead, but the strong drives of his oppo. nent were invincible and won him the vio- \ tory. The score stood GA. During the match their placing was accu
 rate, their volleying good and both drove with much dexterity. Campbell's strong point WAS his net work. His opponent knew ' this, and with few exceptions the contest was devoid of net work. Sears by his strong
 drive play kept Campbell far back in his court and therefore he had him at disad- { vantage. Yet Oampbell's work was skilIful ' and at times brilliant The first round of singles played yesterday were:
