ITS FOURTH DAY.
Zine Tennis ut Newton at Yesterdays
Games.


Games.
NEWTON, Mass, July S.-The fourth
day OF the tennis tournament was opened
under auspicious circumstances and some
of the best tennis OF the week resulted.
All the matches are now being played on
the Neigh borhood Club courts, Berkeley
street. West Newton, and q marked diff
ference In play is plainly noticeable.
When play was called at 1890 q. m. by
referee Mansfield, one OF the largest
crowds Of the season had sembled and
tho fineipoints of the games were enthusi-
astically applauded. The first match of
the day was between Malcolm Chace, tho
Providence wonder, and B. ID. Reed, Am
herst's champion player. Chase played
good tennis In the first two games, his
service being superb. The Amherst
hardest tussie he has had in the tourna-
ment, and Chace found 1t very difficult to
meet his fine drives to the back line. The
two sets were won Ga, 6-2.
The next match was between Fuller OF
Dorchester and w. p. Cones OF Harvard.
1t was elegant tennis and sharply con-
tested match OF three sets. The first set
went to Fuller very easily, 6--1. But the
second set was handsomely fought, and
Cones took many good points easily, and
finally capt ured the set, Ga. The third
was closely fought throughout, going to
Fuller, Ga.
The match in doubles between r. II.
Hovey and Bixby, and Winslow and NAL
colin Chace surprised all, Hovey and
Bixby being defeated. The feature of
the game was the service of Winslow and
OF Hovey, and the all round work OF
Chace. Deuce WAS called 13 times in the
last game of the second set before the
matcn was decided, the score standing,
6-5, Ga, In favor of the winners.
In the afternoon Chace met Fuller in
the finals. A large crowd gathered TO see
the PROVIDENCE wonder, and everybody
expected to zee him win. He did not dis
appoint his friends and admirers, but got
right down TO work and played a grand
game. His opponent was simply not In
IL, aud Chace smashed, volleyed and lob
bed in such manner thai Fuller was
kept running all over the court, and only
occasionally could he get a ball back over
the net. The match was the best three
out of five sets, and Chace won the first
three sets easily, the score being so, so
and 6-l.
In the doubles Reed and Wales beat the
Coues Brothers. 6-l, 90
To-day Malcolm Chace meets Hovey,
the present holder of the cups, and as at
last weeks tournament great match Is
looked for.

The Liberals Have Too Great Odds Against

LONDON, July 9.--The total number OF
members Of Parliament returned 90 far
is as follows: Conservatives 166; Liber.

OF the 344 known results-being over
one half of the whole House-the Union
lists united have 100 against united OPP
position of 154. The Liberals therefore
would require to capture q aumber OF
