NECESSITY OF TRAINING.


NECESSITY OF TRAINING.
While in some respects tennis is a mild form
OF outdoor exercise, yet there is perhaps no
game that is more exacting and tests the physi-
cal condition of tho player more completely
1t requires high degree of skill and training
to reach eminence on the tennis court
Here In this city the number of good players
Is not as large as it should be, and vet the
standard Of the game is much higher than it
was few years ago. Men are playing a better
game and If the interest continues there ID no
doubt but that Washington will soon take
more prominent place in tenni- circles As it
excellence that has been a revelation even TO
the crack players who have come here to
enter the open tournaments.
No active field work will be done until the
frost Is out of the ground. Then the work of
rolling the courts will be begun. and at the
earliest practicable moment the players will
get out their hannels and open the season.
THE BACHELORS CLUB GETTING READY.
preliminary step in this direction is the
meeting Of the Bachelors Club which will be
held on the 9th instant at the Capital Bicycle
Club. This is the largest and, no doubt. the
most important tennis organization in this
city. 1t has a membership of about sixty,
which comprises, with few exceptions, all the
leading players The club has i've dirt courts
which are kept in excellent condition.
In these grounds will be held the open tour
nament at a date to be fixed by the National
Association. 1t will be some time in May, and
the local players intend to get all the practice
they can before that date.
THE SOUTHERN TOURNAMENT.
The tournament of the Southern Lawn Ten
mis- Association will of course be held as usual
some time in the spring. but exactly where has
not been determined. There rs a desire to
make this association what the name really i'm
plies, namely, an association of the tennis clubs
In the southern states At present the mem
bership consists Of seven clubs located in this
city, one In Wilmington. Del. and one in Bal
timore. An effort will be made to interest ten
mis- players living in Richmond and in other
southern cities and to induce them to ioin this
association. If this is not done the association
may quietly expire for lack OF interest
Tennis for Championship Honor.
The first championship court tennis tourna-
ment ever held in this country will be played
on Washington's birthday on the Racquet
and Tennis Clubs courts in New York city.
While only two entries were received they were
from two Of the best players in the country
Mr.. r. ID. Sears, the ex-champion lawn tennis
player, and Mr.. b. S. de Garmendia the anna
teur racquet champion.
The winner, in addition to winning the cham
pionship, will receive handsome silver cup.
There is also a trophy at stake offered by the
New York Racquet and Tennis Club and the
Boston Athletic Association. which will be held
by the club whose member wins the champion
ship. The championship tourney will be held
alternately each year on the courts of the New
York Racquet and Tennis Club and on the Bos-
ton Athletic Association courts

The country is divided geographically by lines

western cities are Chicago. Cleveland, Pitts

northern cities being Chicago, Cleveland and

rangement of the league.

Encouragement From the Miners of
Nevada County,
A Quartz Mil VIII be Shown in Opera

and Nevada City.

George NJ. Mott and J. O. Coleman, of
the special committee having charge of
the arrangements for the much-talked of
mining exhibit for the State Fair, ac-
companied by w. G. Scott, Superintend-
ent of that committee. have Just returned
from Grass Valley and Nevada CITY,
where they went TO interest the mining
men in the project.
The gentlemen are enthusiastic in their
praise OF Nevada County hospitality, and
are delighted with the success met with.
At Grass Valleythey were met by Attire
gidgO, the genial President of the Miners
Association, and delegation of mining
superintendents. The principal matter
discussed was the proposition to exhibit a
working quartz mill, and all agreed that
it would be thoroughly practical. The
mining men became quite enthused over
the project and promised to do every
thing in their power to make the
exhibit huge success. They will
furnish the ore tor the mill, and practical
mining men TO attend to the work. The
committee was driven in carriges out to
the various mines and given a royalty
good time by the Grass Valley folils-a
time such as only mining people are capa-
bic of giving. They were shown many
handsome specimens OF quartz and other
things of interest all of which would be
valuable additions to the exhibit
AT Nevada City the Sacramentans were

Searles and Walling, Jacob Nef, and a
host of prominent mining men. They
received encouragement on every hand.
and were more than pleased with the out
look. The newspapers Of both cities are
taking hold of the matter in earnest and
will do all they can to see that interest
does not lag.
The project regarding showing mill in
operation is now settled upon. A five
stamp mill will be placed in position by
the Union Iron Works Of San Francisco.

abled to see the quartz in its natural state
go into the mill, be crushed up, and 90

of the gold is extracted. 1t will be a
sight worth seeing.

FRUIT AT AUCTION.
[san Francisco Bulletin. July 9th ]

San Francisco Bulletin, July 9th7
Any San Franciscans who are ambi-
tious enough to get up early next Monday
may see an interesting experiment in
fruit marketing. At o'clock that morn
ing ali the fruit that comes down by pic
turesque, fat-bottomed, black-stacked.
redwheeled steamers from Sacramento
River orchards will be sold at auction 20
the highest bidder.
Selling fruit at auction is no new thing
at Chicago, Boston and New York, but it
has never been tried here for various
reasons. 1t has worked well in the cities
named, but the local market has peculiar
features, and the present proposition is
regarded by many as wildly hazardous
scheme.
Most of the fruit that reaches here at
this season comes from Sacramento River
points. There is generally more money
in shipping here than to the East. There
is fair margin of profit usually, but last
year fruit was too abundant at times. and
some commission men here fed choice
peaches and pears to the fish in the bav.
Hundreds OF baskets and boxes were
tossed overheard. The wisdom of this
sort OF thing was commented on at the
time quite severely. The commission men
who did 1t felt that they had some rights
TO maintain, but 1t is very hard to con-
vince fruit-grower, who has cared and
watched over his trees and their product
as father over his child, that anything
can justify such waste. This helped a
feeling against the commission men. so
when Mr.. Steinhagen, a retired Davis
street merchant, went last week to n
number of growers at Walnut Grove.
Courtland, Freeport, Steamboat Slough
Point, Rio Vista and other places, and
proposed selling here by auction, they
readily fell in with the idea.
AT a well-attended meeting at Walnut
Grove Saturday over thirty fruit men
agreed to have Steinhagen sell their fruit
and vegetables at auction. They agreed,
also, to instruct local commission men to
cooperate with the auctioneer. Co-opera-
ton in this sense means to divide com
missions with the auctioneer The prin-
cipal men in the movement are John

From the Clutches of Mongolian

Her Rescuer.

Further particulars learned Yesterday
show that the assault upon little Mamie
Westerwelt, by Chinaman named All
Hong, were substantially true as first re-
ported.
Chlef Rodgers and officer Maley called
at the girls home on the day the assault
TOOK place, and both the girl and her pa
rents denied the story, and stated that the
Chlnaman had merely pushed her aside
and she had fallen down.
Yesterday John Adams, who claims to
have caught the Chinaman in the act of
assaulting the child, went with Chief
acknowledged that the story was true,
and that what she said the day before was
not
Adams heard the cries of the little girl,
and thought that she had been hurt by
the cars, and when he ran to her assist
ance found her in the arms of the China
man under freight car.
Adams seized the fiendish heather and
called for another employe of the Fruit
transportation Company to help him
put hlm IN bOx-car. The Chinaman
yelled, and about twenty other Chinese
came TO his assistance with clubs, and
AAaIAS was competed 10 release MIN,
when he made off and has not since been
seen.
s=The Chinaman, All Hong, is the chief
cook for the Chinese at the Capital
Cannery. He has evidently been hidden
away by other Chinese.
Adams says there is no doubt but that
the Chinaman would have accomplished
his purpose had he not heard her screams
and ran to her assistance. He had hard
tussle with the Mongolian fiend and says
he would have Laid him out'' had he
anything at had with which to do 1t. One
OF the Chinese who ran to the aid of the
rascal was armed with an iron bar.
The story told by Mr.. Adams to a
RECORD UNION reporter last evening
leaves no room for doubt as to the nature
OF the Chinaman's assault on the child,
and Adams did not arrive a moment too
soon to thwart his purpose.
No efforts should be spared to appre-
hend the scoundreI. Adams says he can
be identified by number of peculiar
spots or discolorations on the forehead
and where the hair is shaved off above

telIlgent air, and spoke in a loud, calm
voice. lie asked that his examination
be proceeded with immediately and he
was accommodated.
j. B. klune testified that Bent called
at the store and asked to see a diamond
ring, and when tray filed with them
was produced Bent snatched it, threw
handful of pepper in Klune's eyes and
made of. klune followed in hot pur-
sult and reached the depot just after Bent
had been caught and recovered the Jewels.
Special Officer Ed l.. Kripp testified
that he saw men running down I street
toward Second, and he followed and
caught Bent just before he reached the
depot. Bent said, II give up, but if l
had a minute more you would not have

Here Bent interrupted the witness and
said to the court, Excuse me, but | don't

The Judge thought the evidence suffi-

Bent, who wanted to plead guilty to
grand larceny, and he held him to an
