THIRD PARTY sTEERERs.
How Northern Leaders Outwitted the
Southern Alliance Element.

Southern Alliance Element.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 27.-Now that the In
dustrial conference is over, peculiar facts
are being revealed. IL is said the entire
affair, from the issuing of the call by
the Ocala convention to the present day,
was planned and executed by J. B. Weav-
er, Ignatius Donnelly, Herman e. Taube-
neck, G. T. Washburne, j. III. Davis, @. O..
Post of Georgia, and J. L. Norton of
Chicago. 1t became evident that the
southern element was strongly opposed
to independent political action, and the
leaders in this line were DR.. McCune
and Ben Terrill OF Texas and Liv-
ingston of Georgia. Those in
favor of such action saw that
something decided had to be done, and
quickly after the convention was called
to meet in st. Louis, SO it, would be
near Kansas and Nebraska, two strong
Alliance and third party states, matters
were SO shaping themselves that it was
becoming necessary to destroy the in
fuence OF the southern leaders
opposed 70 the third party ac-
ton. Here the Washburne-Taube
party showed its finesse. With the
aid Of Post of Georgia and
j. III. Davis, of Texas, the Alliance in
those two states was so worked upon as
to come to the support of the third
party. Anti-third party feeling having
thus been practically stamped out, the
steerers came to St. Louis and began
their work here to control the conven-
ton. With what success they met, the
result OF the convention shows.

hall on Friday evening was brilliant
success. The spacious dancing hall was
appropriately and gracefully draped in
blue and white bunting, while the
Riverside ladies were conspicuous in
becoming gowns, in which these
club colors predominated. The River
side gentlemen were also distinguished
by blue and white ribbon rosettes, and
the general effect was charming. The
programmes prepared announced an
order of eighteen dances, and an elab-
crate collation. was served during q
brief intermission. There were nearly
150 guests presents, and the occasion
will linger long and pleasantly in the
memory of all participating. Great credit
for the success of this tournament is
due to Mr.. Robert Lindsay, the efficient
secretary of the Southern California
Lawn Tennis association, who has been
foremost in all plans and arrangements
for this brilliant affair.
Most, if not all of the strangers pres
ent departed yesterday afternoon to their
homes, thoroughly delighted with Riv-
erside, its people, their entertainment
and with this midwinter tournament,
which has been unexceptionally sue
cessful from every point of view.
NOTES.
The volleying of Halsted was bril-
liant.
Rice of Alhambra played splendid
game.
Miss Halsted is one of the best play
ers in the south.
Butcher was effective with his drives,
which were we'll placed.
Germain's drives were brilliant and
were very hard to volley.
The courts were in most magnificent
condition throughout the tournament.
Throughout Coulter played splendid
game, only he fell down in the mixed
doubles.
Miss GiIliland and Mr.. Coulter added
to their laurels Of last year and still re.
tain the ladies' and gentleman 'sscham-
pionship, respectively.
Los Angeles was most ably repre-
sented, as the players carried off the
first and second association prizes and
the gentlemen's doubles.
Miss Tufts is to be congratulated on
the excellent game she put up IN the
mixed doubles and although defeated, is
due none the less honor.
The most hotly contested and best
earned victory of the tournament was
the gentlemen's doubles between w.
Cosby and II. Germain and Halstead and
Butcher
Los Angeles gets the first and second
events, captured by Theo Coulter and
H. German, respectively, the prizes
being first, kodak camera, second, a
silver match safe.
The net game seemed to be the favor
ite, and is indeed crowding out the old
prosy back-li play, and will doubt
less be almost entirely used at the
coming tournament.
The team work of Cosby and Germain
was especially good, and the defeat OF
the other team was due in no small re-
spect to their not having played to-
gether very much before. Cosby played
a very steady game at the back line,
his net work being also good. His lob
lollying is effective and accurate.
The representatives from the various
towns were delightfully."- entertained, and
toward the people of Riverside the most
cordial sentiments are entertained by
the various participants in the tourna-
ment. The managers of the affair
spared no pains for its success, and
among other courtesies the ball was
thoroughly enjoyed,

Santa Monica was then presented by the
Southern Pacific Railway company, and
February 10th was set for hearing. By
the way, the board of supervisors some
days ago decided that the remonstrance
against allowing the Southern Pacific
Railroad company to make an extension
along the beach at Santa Monica was of
no value. The facts published in the
HERALD pointed out this outcome as
the only sensible one, and gave the
supervisors some idea of what they
should do in the premises. The action
OF the board in this matter was not re-
corded in the minute book on the date
OF action for some reason or other,
which leads to the pertinent remark
that all of the actions of the board
should be spread on the minutes. (See
