carrying everything before them, till
Chase made Almighty effort, repeating
again and again his 'Laffored drives"
which told on his opponents. The
ladies did come excellent playing, which
pleased the lady spectators. The score,
in sets, now stood stwo alp and Mr..

ing that "the light was too poor to
finish. (" There was a meeting of the
committeeman present, and it was re-
solved TO give Cawston and Miss Shoe
maker the match if Chase did not con-
tinue to play, and rather than lose it he
resolved to dc the best he could under
the circumstances. The umpire mounted
a chair and announced that playing was
to be renewed at once. Young Chase
went to work with will. and was de-
termined to win even if they had to
play "by the light of the moon"
