and is almost impossible to return.
The great swiftness OF the pace, however,
requires most perfect nerve and great
strength to make it strike inside the court
continuously, a slight indisposition hav-
ing greater deleterious effect on Hobart's
game than upon that of almost any other
expert in the field.

years. his first victory being won by de-
feating .. S. Campbell, when Dhe latter
had but few weeks before taken the ma
tional championship for the first time. To
enumerate Hovey's victories would take
too long, but 1t is enough to say that
last year he reached the finals of the
championship tourney, being defeated by
Hobart, though the Harvard expert twice
needed but single point to win the
match. This season Hovey has won every
event in which he has entered, and is as
yet unbeaten. In his victory over r. l..
Hall in the late Longwood event he
showed clearly that he was playing the
game of his life, form very much inn
proved over that Of last year. Hovey's
style is very distinctive, he being quick,
| sharp yoileyer, and very agile in his work
at the net. His forehand ground strokes
are remarkably swift and accurate, and
his spring training in the Harvard base
ball nine, OF which he is member, puts
him in excellent physical condition for
the strain OF the championship meeting.

is very much the same everywhere. I
found her at the Thousand Islands as at
any of the other watering places / visited.
The only change / noticed was that per-
haps her gloves were q triiie heavier and
warmer than is usual for summer, and
that she dressed her hair trifie more
deliberately. Perhaps gayety was not at
its full height, and she had more leisure
to twist and coil the shining locks; but at
any rate / was charmed with some of the
pretty coiffures I saw. One had twist
in the middle of the head, and then four
little soft finger putfs laid around it, and
tiny curls clustering in and out among
them. Another had three long puffs TAX
ing up the whole back of the head, each
perfect, not hair out of place; and still
another had three narrow short puffs rum
ming across, not down the head.
/ also saw there what surprised me
somewhat, namely, a departure in blazer
suit. 1t was positively refreshing to see
one that looked little different from the
several hundred one sees daily. The waist

There was first tight-itting yoke, cut
round, and on it was fastened the bodice
proper, which was laid in loose plaits and
gathered into q wide belt. From under
the wide belt came the full skirt of the

joined were five narrow rows of white
soutache, put on in rounding scallops, and

both dogs are finely formed; in fact. ex-
perts agree that they are the most beauti-
ful-headed specimens of st. Bernards in
the country"
Then, turning aside from his two rarest
animals, he called up Belledarde, another
magnificent specimen of the American
bred smooth-coated st. Bernard. She is
still young, something over year old, and
with age will rival the Empress.
But it is at Hampstead, L. l., where the
fashionable set simply dote on dogs. Bar

ever they go. In fact, at Hampstead it is
an unwritten law that no equipage is as 1T
should be without dog of some kind
either inside or outside the vehicle.
Twas talking with Jenkins Van Setback
about New York's fashionable" dogs the
other day, and he aired the grievances of
the owners in very practical argument:
.There are many New Workers who, while
they have the greatest admiration for fine
dogs, find it simply impossible to keep
them in the close city. Ex-President
Cleveland, in his recent letter declining
the offer of q magnificent mastff, ex.
pressed sentiment which explains the
situation exactly. A real lover of fine
dogs can enjoy the company of an animal
only during the summer months when at
his country home. For the remainder of
the year the dog must be placed in the
care of keepers a BID SO becomes estranged.
Of course, when the man of fashion lives
at his country home the greater part
OF the year there IS no obstacle to
the keeping of fine kennel. John

pionship falling to each. First as to the
"All Corners" Clarence Hobart OF New
York last year showed up as the second
best player in the country and came very
close to reaching the top round Of the
ladder of tennis fame. During the season
of 1891 Hobart had most successful
career. He won the tournaments of
Orange, Westehester and Nahant,
the last two probably the most
important of the year, and fit
tingly concluded his seasons work by
winning the first place in the ''All
Corners" after which he lost to Champion
Campbell, but only after close fight.

even though he himself must sweiter be-
tween the huge stone piles of the city.
Prices for good dogs vary. The public
was amazed when it heard some years ago
that the late j. X. Emmett had given 5000

doubt if Mr. Sears would take 5000 for
his rough-coated St. Bernard Sir Bedivere.

famous Patrol accompanying him

would half that sum buy DIR. S. &. Dixon's

Mr.. Sears, understand, refused 81 900 for
his Plinlimmon, jr., recently. And his
Monarch could not be had for 5000.

million dollars. This would of course in
