Lost Art.

Joseph Jefferson, says an Eastern ex-
change, is not only an admirable actor, but
a painter Of much more than ordinary skill.
The work he has performed in both these
departments of art would have secured for
him more than common reputation. BE has
painted pictures that would have brought
big prices If the author mad been unknow n
And this reminds US to add that MI Jeffer-
son, during Ills last visit to this city, pre-
srnted our Bohemian Club with most de-
lighitul water-color study, original with
himself, of his place in the Louisiana low
lands, but which. by some ineXcusable neg
lpct, has been lost in the confusion Of the
clubs last change of quarters, or at least it
has been hidden from the public gaze for
some time. The water-cOlor ought to be
brought to light If possible, as well out of

RACQUET AND BALL.
Handicap Tournament for Possession OF
the Trophy.

Handicap Tournament for Possession of
the Trophy.
1t appeared as If all the youth and beauty
of Oakland had assembled OH the grounds
OF the Lakeside Tennis Club in that city
yesterday afternoon to witness the compe-
ttion for the beautiful Hammersmith &
Field trophy, which will be contested three
times at intervals of three months before its
final possession is determined.
The members have been divided into four
classes, according to their proficiency, and
the winners of each class will be handi-
capped in the final contest rs follows: First
class scratch; second class will receive half
fifteen, third class fifteen aud fourth class
half thirty. In case the third and fourth
class winners meet the handicap will be
governed by the "Pastime" system. In the
present tournament four racquets will also
be awarded one TO the winner in each class.
Only the players in the first and second
classes appeared yesterday. Play Will be
resumed this morning at 10 o'clock, and Will
be continued throughout the day, when ii is
expected to conclude the match. From
present appearances, 1t seems probable that
G. p. Hubbard, champion of Alameda
County, will hold the trophy during the
next two months. The detailed results OF
yesterdays play are us follows
First Class-C. p. Hubbard beat V. Gadesden
Ga and 6-3. s. Sanborn beat H. II. Haight, &c
Ga and 6-3. In the match between Hubbard
and Sanborn for first place In the class. tile first
set was won by Hubba aftera hard fight his
score OF games being 7-5.
Second Glass; W. Griffin beat A. Stewart.
| CO and Ga. +. W. Griffin beat c. COmstOck.
| 8-6 aud so, thus winning the only love set OF
| the afternoon. In the match between Sam Breek
| Jr. and W. T. Wheaton. the former won the ilrsl
| set by 6-3 and wheaton the second, his score oil
| games being Ga.
The chief interest of the spectators cen
| tered of course in the matches between the
| players of the first class. Hubbard did
| some very effective work, and places his
| balls with wonderful accuracy. Sanborn i;
| comparatively new man. and his defeat OF
| Haight was somewhat of surprise. He
! serves well, and will make a fine player
! Haight is careful player, but his return
balls weakened toward the end of the
very much out of practice. Breck and
| Wheaton seem evenly matched, and are
good all-round tennis-players.

Drifting backward, backward drifting,
To the scenes forever shifting,
Othe curtain ever lifting
Cp from inem'ry's stage:
There unto my heart revealing
Ragged scene, and CObwebbed ceiling
Once In lifetime pleasure dealing,
Now the prey OF age.
Out upon my senses floating
Come the lines some actors quoting
Or the triumph am noting
From the dingy wings.
Now bird OF song Is lying,
From my heart forever SlghlDg
From the past so slowly dying
Rises up and sings
Roll the curtain down forever;
Lift 1t from the paSt-Ob, never
Let Il from the present sever
Every chain OF thought.
All The scenes are old and dusty,
Spears aud shields are brown and rusty,
scores and plays are gray and musty-
Work that Time has wrought.
When that curtain falls forever
On the past wish to sever
From the present-faiis, to never
Rise again for me.
That amid the dead years sleeping
Ever from my heart lis EeepingP
NO! Twas tragedy. MARIE MADISON.
