 Play was resumed yesterday at the inter- collegiate tournament after it's day and half of vacation. There was fairly good sized attendance in the morning, which was increased considerably in the after noon. There were many ladies among the spectators. The tournamentat the close of the days playing had progressed well into the third round in singles. The day was not adapted for the best playing, be1 ing raw and damp and decidedly unconS fortable for the spectators, many of whom was blazing in the reception room of the club house. The event of the day for closeness was the match in the second round between Campbell of Columbia and Tallant of Harvard. That mysterious prestige which envelops a champion seemed to create the belief on the part of all the onlookers that Campbell would have, if not walk-over at least he would take the match easily, but he hasn't been taken in yet, and whether he does will not be decided until this morning. Play was stopped on ac- count of darkness and each player had g set, Campbell taking the first, GA, and Tallant the second, 8-5. The third set stood 3-2 in favor of Campbell, when Tal- 1ov ooy,or11oinod fhof ha aO1ld mt wall enough to continue playing, and it was agreed to play the set all over again this morning, beginning at 1O:30 o'clock. Campbell evidently was not in his best form and made some plays that one would hardly expect from the amateur champion of the country, especially losing game by double fault But he did manage to find the side lines though more than once just as he did with Slocum at the Newport tournament. Tallant makes much harder work of the game than his opponent and oddly with the quiet, calm manner of Campbell. r An exciting match was played in the second round between Harvey of Harvard and l.. Parker of Yale the former winning 3-6, 7-5, 6-1. Thus another of Yale'a chances slipped away, not without strug- gle though. Parker had one set and needed only few points OF the second but he lacked the staying powers and could not quite do what his friends earn estly wished.
 The hopes of Yale in the singles are now centered in Rowland the freshman player, who alone has come down to repre- sent his college in the third round, doing Wright of Columbia in the second round, 7-5, 3-6, 6-2. The other match in the sec ond round was Chase, Harvard, defeated A. J. Parker, Yale, 6-3, 60.

Parker of Yale beat F. A. Stearns of Amherst, 60, 7-5 GA; Campbell of Columbia beat Mallory of Trinity, 6-1, 8-6; Wright of Columbia beat Larned of Cornell, 6-2, 6-3. First round-A. J.
