Our Duchess Abroad.

FROM LONDON Sau1ty FAR.
The great object Of interest at Mrs Open

duchess OF Marlborough, who had only arrived
from Liverpool that afternoon. The duke
did not lose much time in introducing the
duchess to hts friends. There was family
tea at Holderness House, where Lady Lon
donderry received the newly welded pair
and where the various relations OF the MARI
borough family were present, and after dining
with the dowaeer duchess he took her on to Bru-

fashionable world to see the duchess, who must
undoubtedly be woman OF strong character and
great courage, for the manner In which she was

Being quite domestic in her tastes, Mrs Glad

In 1862. during the cotton famine, Mrs. Gladstone
worked night and day TO alleviate the misery.
She established an Orphans Home at Ciapham in

Mrs. Gladstone'S social, educational, and chart

by her husband, who Is more proud Of his wife
than Of anything else in the world, not excepting
his own honorable and brilliant career.

The Lawn Tennis Champion.
HOW ERNEST RRSsHAw WON THE TITLE FROM Il. p.
LAwFORD.

The Lawn Tennis Champion.
HOW ERNEST RESsHAw WON THE TITLE FROM Il. p.
LAwF0RD.
From the London Standard.
The gentlemen's single-handed championship
was brought to a conclusion yesterday on the
grounds Of the All England Lawn Tennis Club
Renshaw secured the first game by four strokes to
two obtaining the next after deuce had been called
twice, The third game also reached deuce twice
and was won by Renshaw, LawfOrd losing two
strokes by twice serving two faults The fourth
game was won by Lawford after one call of Deuce
but In the NTH he managed to obtain but one
stroke only. Renshaw did no better In the SIXTH
but then led of in the succeeding games with
four strokes to TWO, five strokes TO three, four
or the twelve games in the second set two only
reached deuce. Lawford secured the FIRST two
games with ease. ReDshaw making one stroke
In each. Renshaw won the third with single
stroke to Lawford's credit, and Lawford took
the fourth after Renshaw had made two strokes
Again ksnshaw secured game by four
lowed with four strokes to Two. Deuce
was called nve times In the seventh game which
Renshaw added 70 his credit With four strokes
to complete the set by the succeeding four games
at four strokes TO two. nve to three, four to love-
Tue frst and third games Of this set. Lawford two
faults In the fourth game.
The third was decidedly tame. Renshaw WIN
with, he only allowed his opponent one stroke in
the second game, two in the third, one in the
fourth, one In the NTH. and won the set and the
Championship by securing the last game after
deuce had been called twice.
Although Ernest Renshaw has thus won the
championship for the year, his play cannot be
said to quite equal that OF his brother In his best
days; and 1t Is possible that another season, with
more practice, W. Renshaw may again hold the
title and display all his old skill and
ability. Lawford Is thtrty-seven years OF age,
and ten years the senior OF the twin
brothers Renshaw. The sodden state Of the turn
fnterfered with both competitor, who slipped up
more than once, and had TO exercise extreme eau
ton in running to the net and across the court
There could Lot have been fewer than g. 500 Spec
tators present TO witness the play.
