until after midnight. Next morning al
breakfast Bowman said to me:
t'Wall we hev concluded to stop fuss
ing if tho Jordons will, but it's no back
down fur us. No Bowman ever backs
down."
'It's no backdown for anybody" I re-
piled. "You are simply going to ex-
hibit sense and judgment. Everybody
for ten miles around will be glad to
see the quarrel end. 1t has not only
affected you and the Jordons, but other
families in the beat"
After breakfast Irode over to Jordon's.
He and his two grown boys were hoeing
potatoes, and their guns leaned against the
fence. After a little I got around to the
subject. and as soon as it was properly
presented I discovered that the prospect
pleased them. They were sick and tired
of the feud, but were obliged to hold out
because the Bowmans did.
1t was agreed before / left that the
whole family should come over to Bow
mans after dinner, and at Q o'clock they
appeared. They were met with pleasant
words and outstretched hands, and the
ten years feud was wound up and for.
ever buried in ten minutes. Out under
the trees we held a sort of picnic. and if
ever people enjoyed themselves these
two families did. Along about 4 in the
afternoon a man rode up to the gate on
a mule, looked us over in a dazed way
and finally got down and came nearer
and exclaimed:
"Dod-rot my buttonsif that consumed

Tournament.
AN EIGHT-ROUND PRIZE FIGHT.
Championship Ball Games and
Records--Amateur Ball Tossers--
Gossip Of the Clubs.

The members of the Bergen Point Lawn
Tennis Club took advantage of the CHEEKY
sunshine yesterday afternoon by resum-
ing play In their annual prize handicap
tournament. The seven double courts
were all occupied, and all were in splendid
condition for use.
Owing to the handicaps putting the
competitors on as nearly an equal footing
as possible, the sport vas somewhat ex-
citing. To the large crowd of society folk
who witnessed the encounters from well
shaded seats along the outskirts of the
courts the play was OF absorbing interest.
The first rounds of the encounters at
gentlemen's singles were completed, and
all, save one contest in the second rounds,
were contested. One of the meetings in
the third rounds also took place. Play
was opened In the encounters at ladies'
singles, and all OF the first and part of the
second rounds were finished. The results
of the sport are summarized as follows
Gentlemen's Singles. = First Rounds-Henry NJ.
Popham won, by default, from Charles S Cole
man of the same class.
Second Rounds-FIank Lawton (handicap, if
Haywood by SO, 6-1, O.. Frederick H. Hatch
was victorious over f.. B. McEowen Chandicap,
thirty points in every game)by rs, 81, 6-5. Rob
ert II. Russell, Jr,, defeated $. Livingston Davis
by 81, 62.
Third Rounds-Frederick H. Hatch won from
Robert H. Russell, Jr, (of the same class by
6-3, "a.
Ladies' Singles.-First Rounds-Miss Minnie
Southland handicap, fifteen points in odd or even
games) beat Miss Rachel +. Noe by 6-2, Sd.
Miss Anna w. Voorhees, won by default from
Mis-, Libbie Brown Handicap, fifteen points in
every other gaIne). Miss Sarah e. bay was
worsted by 6.l, 5-6, Cd by Miss Adele Southland
handicap, fifteen points in every other game).
Mrs. Albert C. Stevens (handicap, thirty points
Voorhees,, the sets going by 81, 81.
Second Rounds-M Miss Anna W. voorhees, out
maneuvred Miss Minnie Southland Thandicap, If
teen points in every game) by 81, 60.
Another average days play will probably com
plete the tourney. Walter Paret and Henry M.
Popham are still to meet In the second rounds at
gentlemen's singles. The victor will encounter
Frank Lawton in the third rounds, and the win
ner of that contest will meet Frederick II. Hatch
in the final round. For the ladies' singles prize,
Misses Adele Southland and Aida D.. Voorhees, are
yet to play in the second rounds, the successful
player being matched against Miss Anna W.
Voorhees, in the final round.
The Withdrawal of Miss Libbie Brown and Mr..
Charles s. Coleman from the entries has caused
several changes in the programme for mixed
doubles. Miss Anna w. Voorhees, and Frederick
H. Hatch have a bye In the first rounds and will
be matched in the final round against either Miss
Adele.Southard and Walter Paret or Miss Aida
d. Voorhees, and Robert Fl. Russell, Jr., who will
contest the other encounter of the first rounds.

They Fought Eight Rounds.

Thomas Bancroft, of this city, was badly
whipped early yesterday morning at
S~chuyler's Corners, near Belleville. His
opponent was Petey O'Brien, of East
Newark, and they fought eight hard
rounds under Q~ueensberry rules with
skin gloves. Bancroft weighed III pounds
and O'Brien 1855. Joe Adams seconded
Bancroft and John Gilroy looked after
O'Brien's interests. The fight was for
$500 and gate money. The spectators were
as tough as can be found in Hudson
scientific, and both men were terribly
punished. In the eighth round Bancroft
failed to respond, and the fight was given
to O'Brien. He would probably have
killed Bancroft if another round had been
fought.
