THE GOVERNMENTS THEORY.
The government believes that tho time
this happened was even earlier than stated
by Bridget Sullivan, which was Ills
O'Clock. The governments theory of the
motive of both murders, while not hereto
fore publicly expressed, is that Mics Lizzie
had nurtured an intense hatred toward her
step-mother and that while she or they were
making the guests bed the daughter took
some weapon and slew her. When her
Father arrived she possibly felt that he
| would accuse her of murder when
1 the fact became known. To
| and throwing away her instrument she
theory does not eliminate the fact that
whoever the murderer was he, or she, was
| covered. If it was the prisoner what
more natural, they say, than that she
| could cover herself with o gossamer and
later put on the dress which she wore
| when Bridget and her other friends went

CAMPBELL CHAMPION STILL.
An Immense Crowd Witnesses the

ID NEWPORT, Aug 31.-This was the last
day of the tennis tournament whose issue
should determine the champion for an
other year. A hot, brisk wind swept
across the court and was the only thing to
detract from the most favorable condi-
tons for good play. The crowd was one
of the largest ever seen on the grounds,
even on a championship day.
Campbell opened the play with the ser
vice. In the first ball over Hovey made q
pretty pass and scored. The next Camp
bell drove into the net and then served
two faults, making the call 40-love against
him. Here he braced, and two good places
and Melted ball by Hovey made it deuce.
Then Hovey drove out of court and Camp
bell placed and the latter took the first
game. He took the second also, and then
Hovey began to place and kept it up till
he too had scored twice, and the games
were 2-all, Campbell in the fourth making
several weak returns. Campbell took two
more games and then Hovey two. The

Hovey won the odd game, making three
straight, and it looked as if he might take
the set, but Campbell took three games in
succession, making it sail, and then win
cling the set. rs, Hovey driving the last
ball into the net.
The play in the second set was of m UGH
the same order, neither was showing SO
and the style of play was skilful and
liant. Neither quite dared to let himself
out, and the match lost certain elements of
interest, If the players did not sacrifice
somethingof effectiveness. For that reason
Campbell took the first game and soon
forced the score to 81. Hovey now made
his expected stand, and brought the score
to tie at three games all. Hovey was
now playing his best game of the match
thus far, and placed across court with a
swiftness and accuracy simply irresistible.
In spite of Campbell's steady and strong
work, he carried away the next three
games almost with rush, and 80 won the
set, 6-3. Campbell Melted the last ball,
as did Hovey in the previous set. The
latter won the last five games in the set,
establishing the record for the match by
virture of exceptionally good work.
1t was now one set all, and the next was
important. The score went 2-all before
the break g came no'ey having his opPo
gan to run away from him and soon had
the score SO. The eighth was long drawn
out and holly contested. Deuce was called
several times, Campbell generally having
the vantage point. But Hovey was still
playing his game, and finally won the two
needed points, making it 5-3. The effort
was too great, though, and Campbell took
the set with the next game, 63. Hovey
In this set was making the most difficult
and taking strokes, while Campbell played
the steadier and put up winning game.
The fourth, and what proved to bs the
deciding set, was among the most extra
ordinary ever played on any court. In
the early part of 1t Hovey was clearly and
greatly outplayed. He was working hard,
as in the previous set, and making many q
most impossible returns, but could not
Withstand the steady effectiveness of the
champion. Steadily the games went to
Campbell, till the score was 5-love, and
1t looked like love set Hovey tried hard
for the sixth, and finally won it, somewhat
to his surprise and with evident delight.
In the seventh Campbell had the call at
40 80, and needed but one point. He
could not get it, and then Hovey pulled
out the game. The eighth was a repetition
of the last, Hovey again winning, with his
opponent within single point of final
victory. Hovey was now on the
run. and for the first time even
was disturbed. He fell off
just trife, and Hovey scored the next
two games, each with the champion at 10,
making 5-all, an almost wonderful achieve
ment under the circumstances. Campbell
took the odd game easily and forced the
score to 40 80 on the next. Again, for the
third time, there was but one point be-
tween him and success. Again he took
the chance, smashing hard into the net on
an easy ball, after Hovey had returned
seemingly impossible place shot close to
the side line. This made it deuce. But
Hovey was done, and a stroke into the net
and another beyond the back line made
Campbell the champion for the third con-
possession of the massive emblem of his
superior skill.
Thus ended the 1892 tournament, with
Campbell retaining the title of champion
| and Hovey winning the all-comers' cup,
and Larned taking the prize for the run
