 It seems the quiet understanding on the part of the Harvard tennis players while on the train en route to participate in the intercollegiate tournament, that they would have everything their own way, has proved pretty effectual Harvard has now won, the singles, Hovey defeating Campbell yes terday afternoon, and for first place in; doubles their two teams will contest to- day. So Harvard will have that magnifrI cent $500 silver loving cup made by Tiffa ny to keep and gaze. lovingly on for the next year. The playing of the day is as
 The first match was postponed series between Campbell and Chase, which was taken by the former, 7-5, 8-6. Neither of the men played in their best form. s. |: While this was going on Hoyey and Tal- lant of Harvard were playing Wright and Elton of Columbia on the side court. The first set went to the latter, 7-5, but after a fierce contest they lost the second and then the third to Harvard. Score: Hovey and Tallant beat Wright and Elton, 5-7, 9-7, 6-1. Hovey's smashing and Wrights ! round the-body strokes eicited great ap- | plause from the spectators. The next match was between Yale and | Harvard, Parker brothers contending for ! the former and Shaw and Chase for the | latter. The Harvard players won, but only after long and gallant struggle. The score was 6-2, 3-6, 7-5. By this result Yale lost her only chance for any show what ever in the tournament.
 THE PLAY OF THE CHAMPIONS.
 In the afternoon the crowds again col lected, this time with greater anticipations
 of great playing and interest. The weath, l CT looked threatening, black clouds hang ing over, and it did not seem at all doubt ful but the match would be unfinished be- fore it began to rain. The match was be- tween Hovey and Campbell for the cham
 pionship in singles, and Hovey defeated Campbell as he did last year, but with more at stake. The store was 6-2, 4-6, 7-5, 2-6 GA. sr Hovey took the first set easily, starting off with lead of two games, which Camp
 bell tied, but went no further. The next 1 set Campbell had his own way, running uI the score to 5-1 and winning GA. The third set was fought for the most sbitterlJ of all and filled with the most brilliant playing. Hovey took long lead, but wal caught by his rival at the fine-an point, but could go no further. Campbell took the next set easily, 6-2, and Hovey seemed te be. out of the game. His returns were
 weak and playing listless. It was conf dently thought by all that now ' on 1ol Sv1oi
 where he wished him, exhausted, and
 that the last and deciding set would be
 taken easily. But somehow or other that ! was not to be, and the apparently weak
 ened Hovey gave an exhibition of remark ! able recovery and energy. He proved tt
 be the only kind of an antagonist who car l cope successfully with such man as
 Campbell that is stayer. He was abl, ! at the fifth set to keep up that terrif,
 driving of the ball into thu
 most remote corners of the cour
 on his adversary by playing thu cross court placing game. Hovey wa.
 also unually effective in his serving. Fo ! the first time in the tournament Campbell looked weary. The games in this e
 started off Campbell's taking the first bu getting no others before Hovey had rul the score up to Al. Campbell then real izing that something must be done made
 beautiful rally making the Score four all ! For this effort he was greeted with con tinued applause. The next game went t : ! Hovey and then came the tug -of-wa1 Every point was fought for bitterl
 and the men were playing the game Q
 their life. The game was not long i
 duration, and with the score 40-30 il favor of Hovey, Campbell attempting t lob the ball after long rally over his oI
 ponent's head, sent it just ever so ittl
 over the back line, and the match was don with fortune smiling at Harvard. Tn k victor was applauded and congratulated t first of all by Campbell, who shook hand l. | with him and said: 'sWell, Hovey
 you have won.n Then others focke
 about him, rendering their congrat, Q lations. Hovey has become populs ). ] by his genial good nature and way of sa, ny ing funny things. But it is probable tn,
 the majority of the spectators were sorel disappointed over the result. Even again.
 Huntington Campbell would have as man J supporters here in New Haven. He lool l. and acts even while at play the perfet
 gentleman who takes victory and defes + alike with composure.
