tremely favorable weather and creditably rapid play
Both morning and afternoon were devoted To the OPEN
ing rounds in the singles for and out OF an entry
list of thirty only players were left IN
defeated when the day closed The entry list. as is
usual in first tournament showed great unevenness
and as a result there were few evenly matched and
exciting contests. BY freak in the drawings players
OF even merit seemed unable TO meet in the first
rounds and not single threeset match resulted E. L..
Hall beat George WorthngtOn of Lenox. in the second
round rather easily. after winning default IN the
first round Deane Miller, Of NewYork,- gave a
clever exhibition of tennis his second match beat
ing D. P Mcpherson, Of the Bachelors Tennis Club,
of Washington, after interesting contest more III
terestne than the onesided character OF the score
suggests Hall and Miller viii meet in the third
round. and the winner Of the match will probably
reach the finals where he will be called on to meet
