AS was expected, yesterday proved a
most interesting day for those who at
tended the tennis tournament at Mime
tonka Beach. The tournament has
been most successful one, and that
most popular of outdoor sports has re-
ceived wonderful impetus in the
Northwest in consequence. The prin-
eipal match of the forenoon was the
DOut between Cumming and Mcclellan,
both Of Chicago. Together they make
The most formidable ''dOuble" team in
the Western association. But when ar
rayed against each other they played for
blood, and put up one of the best
contests of the tournament. Cum
ming won aftel a hard struggle.
The feature of the playing after lunch
was the easy W y i'll which the local
champion, ThOrne, disposed of two of
the crack players from Chicago. He
met Valentine and Waller in succession,
both of whom came West with designs
on the first prize at Minnetonka, and
easily won both contests. ThOrne now
has an even chance for first prize. He
is playing in great form and his adj
imirers are much gratifed at his success
thus far. If he wins the tournament
nothing will be too good for him. Spe-
Ccial arrangements have been made for
tie ball tonight and large crowd of
society people are expected to be pres
cent to witness the final games to-day.
Appended is the official score:
