the toss-up and chose tie right hand court
Mr.. Howard led out and by good strong SER
vice soon had two games to his credit. Den
ison at this point made brace and tied the
score, then passed his opponent and won the
set. 6.5. Howard was in good form and
made some fine shoots and short returns, and
was much applauded. The spectators, who
were much more numerous than on either OF
the previous days. were thoroughly impair
tial, and whether Denison made return
shots on balls that were three or four feet
above his head or Howard tried wonderful
shot in which he stood back to his opponent
and cut over his shoulder, applause was fire.
quent and hearty.
In the second set Howard played win
ming game from the start, although Denison
kept near him to the end. The score was GA.
One brilliant play by Howard was a return
stroke so near the net that as the ball went
over Mr.. Howard himself slid under in
manner that would have brought him home
safe In the national game.
The third set was long and exciting, a
vantage game being played, both players
being thoroughly warmed up and each do
ing his best. Mr.. Howard won by one game
and the vantage game. At 1890 play was

Hinkley and Donnell. This was emphati-
cally game of tennis, everyone of the play
ers doing his level best. Mr.. Woodman east
ly carried off the honors, playing a rattling
game at all points, but the others did well,
Donnell doing some fine placing and being
we'll backed by Hinkley. Dana put up his
usual first class, even work. The score, /,
6.3.
The third and last match of the day came
on at p. NJ, being In doubles between
Woodmau and Dana, as winners of the pre-
vious match, and Day and Howard, the
Bates College team. 1t took three sets to
decide the match. Woodman and Dana won

About the Bicycle Races.

A sufficient number of men have entered
for each of the bicycle races at Woodford
Park on the afternoon of Labor Day to en-
sure the entire success Of every event; and,
as the entries do not close until O'Clock TO-
night, 1t is reasonable to suppose that the
number will be augmented In some of the
races. The gold and silver medals will be
exhibited in some jewelry store window as
soon as they arrive. Tickets for the races
may be purchased at the bicycle agencies, or
Of members Of the Wheel Club. Four teams
have entered the team race, which means
that eight men will be on the track at one
time, and as this is q two mile race, 1t is

Poultry Pays.
Tpierre Journal,


The Journal office received pleas
ant call last week from Mr.. i. Nj.
Chamberlain, of Clifton township, Sully
county. Mr.. Chamberlain brought in
eighty dozen eggs to dispose of. He
says his poultry have paid him better
than any other department on his farm,
His hens furnish him on an average
nine dozen eggs per day, and he sold
the lot he brought IN yesterday for fif.
teen cents per dozen. He thinks it pays
him better TO feed wheat to hens than
to pull his horses down hauling wheat
to market. Mr.. Chamberlain informs
us that a number of farms have recent
ly changed hands in that part of Sully
county. Mr.. Z. A. Terwllliger, who
will be remembered by many Pierre
people, and who left Sully county last
fall owing to an accident he met with,
has recently sold his farm consisting
of 160 acres of decided land, and a tree
claim, for $3.50 cash to German,
from Wisconsin, who has moved on the
place with his family He is so well
pleased with the country that he has
induced his brother to move out and
buy a farm near him. This is straw
to show which way the wind is blowing
