Mabel Esmonde Cahiil, of New York. For
| two years she has upheld her right to the
honor and her name is we'll known to all
! devOtees of the game. Miss Cahlll was
noted player on the other side of the
Atlantic before making her home in this
country, and has contested at most of the
English and Irish open meetings. Before
Miss Cahill won the American champion
ship that honor was held by Miss E.. G.
Roosevelt, of Poughkeepsie, N. Y. For
several years previous to 1890 Miss Roose-
welt had held the supremacy in singles,
and she and her sister, Miss Grace w.
Roosevelt, the blue ribbon in doubles. In
that year Miss Cahill appeared at the
ladies' national tournament for the first
time and created something of furore by
the exceptionally strong and brilliant
style OF game which she played. She sue
cessfully went through the tournament
round by round, beating easily all her
opponents.
With the exception of her first match,
with Miss Roosevelt, Miss Cahill has
never been beaten in this country by any
one of her own sex, Notwithstanding
the many singles competitions in which
she has taken part.
No account of the leading women ten
mis- experts of America would be COM
plete without mention of the name of
Miss Bessie Moore of Hohokus. n. j.,
the little lady who won the ladies' tour
nament last June and who challenged
Miss Cahill for the championship.
Last year among the names of those
who entered the tournament appeared
that of Bessie Moore, whom none knew
and hut few had heard of. The day of
the beginning of the tournament came;
all the contestants were present, and the
play commenced. The spectators natur-
ally gathered round to watch the girl who
had shown such confidence in entering
an event in which all tie others were so
much older and more experienced than
she. Her opponent in the first round was
lady of no mean skill, but the match
had not been going very long before
every body saw with surprise that the lit
tie lady from Hohokus was much more
than the equal of her adversary, and was
beating her very easily. Game after
game went to the younger lady,
until she had won six games-one set
while the other player had not taken a

last year was his defeat of E. L. Hall at
Bar Harbor and Percy Knapp at Newport.
In the latter match, which was one of
the longest on record, taking over
five hours to decide, he showed excep-
tional endurance and stamina. He was
only beaten by Hovey in the semi-fnal
round.
The name of w. A. Larned OF Cornell,
the present intercollegiate champion, is
his face is familiar to all frequenters of
eastern tournaments. Larned will appear
at Chicago, and it is said that he will be
partnered by E. L. Hall of New York,
the winner OF the Nahant, Tuxedo, Long
Island, New England and numerous
other championships. Hall and Larned
will unquestionably make strong team.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1893-05-28

right to those throphies will be Clarence
Hobart aud F. II. Hovey. Hovey is a
veteran player at the game and has dur
ing his career won many championships
and titles. He defeated o. S. Campbell
for the intercollegiate championship the
year that the latter won the national
supremacy, and last year was the man
who won the all Corners and challenged
Campbell for the big cup. And the chal-
LANCER made most Stubborn fight, and
it was only after four good sets had
been played that the audience of 5 600
people saw the champion retain his
trophy. / suppose there is no team that
has had the experience that Hobert and
Hovey have had individually, unless it
possibly IS Campbell and Huntington, the
present champions, and if these two pairs

New and Fast Service to the worlds Fair

Commencing May Z, the new time card
on the Rio Grande Western becomes eff
fective. The time on the night train is
shortened eight hours, improving the
service in all respects on both through
trains. The schedule is arranged as fol-
lows: Morning train leaves Salt Lake at
sos a. M, arrives Denver at7:45 a. M, or
a fraction over twenty-three hours. Ar
rive Chicago at 2:f5 p. m. The night
train leaves at 7:2O p. m. Gnstead of 9:25
p. m. as formerly arrives Denver at $40

Through Pullman Palace double drawing
room sleepers to Chicago. This is great
service and commends itself to the travel
ing public who seek speed, safety, and
last, but not least, comfort. While this
fast and elegant service has been put on
mainly to accommodate the large World s
fair travel over the Rio Grande Western
line, it has come to stay and will be a
permanent schedule.

BALLATER, Scotland, May 1o.-A cairn
was in its first intention simply a pile of
stones to mark burisl place; then to
commemorate some event of Importance.
Cairns are found in every part OF Scot
land and top almost every hill in the
Highlands.
1t does not surprise us, therefore, that
the queen, who is such a lover OF old
highland customs, should have built a
cairn to commemorate the purchase of
Balmoral. 1t is called the ''queen's
cairn, ''and is the Oldest upon the estate,

business viii probably prevent him from
defending his title at Newport in August.
Last year he was the nations supremacy
for the third successive time, thereby be-
coming the absolute owner of the massive
silver trophy. If he should persist in
his determination not to play, Newport
will see one of the most Gsrcely contested
tournaments it has ever witnessed by the
dozen or more aspirants for the coveted
honor. Another rumor, which, if true,
will lend additional interest to this sea-

single game. The second set was exactly
the same, Miss Moore hitting the ball so
accurately as to keep her competitor from
getting any games at all, and thus having
won twelve games in succession.
The second day of the tournament saw
still further good play on Miss Bessie's
part with her partners in the ladies' dou-
bles and the mixed doubles, but unfortu-
nately her next adversary in the singles
sprained her ankle before beginning her
match, and was therefore obliged to de-
fault-that is. to give the victory to Miss
Moore.
This misfortune left but two ladies to
play for the first prize and the right to
challenge Miss Mabel Cahill for the cham
pionship, one being Mrs. A. II. Harris OF
Philadelphia and the other our little girl
from New Jersey. 1t was very good
contest. Mrs. Harris won the first set;
but Miss Moore kept very cool and col
lected, and took the next two sets, there
by winning the first prize in the tourna-
ment, and the right to play Miss Cahill
for the national championship.
It was now the concluding day of the
tourney, and very large audience had
gathered to see how the little expert
would fare with her older opponent, Miss
Cahill. Every seat in that big grand
stand was filed, and many people stood
outside the limits of the court when the
play began, Miss Cahill, coolly confident
OF her ability to defend her title and
throphy, while Miss Moore was courage
ously attemptining to wrest it from her.
AT the conclusion of every point
the successful player would be greeted
altogether the situation was very trying
to the nerves OF even an experienced
player. let alone a young girl like Miss
Bessie was. But not the slightest sign
gave token of any nervousness on her
part, and she played as coolly and stead
lily as if on her own court at practice with
her father or sister.
The last contest commenced, both girls
doing their very best, the New Jersey
maiden being, if anything, the more COM
posed of the two. Five games all was
scored on the first set, which, you know,
is very close playing; and when Miss
Moore pluclSily won the next two games,
thereby winning the set, the spectators
were enthusiastic in praise of her skillful
play. But Miss Cahill was playing very
accurate tennis, and in spite of the con-
slant and plucky play of her little adver-
sary she won the next two sets.
The match was to be the best three out
of five sets. Ii Miss Cahill could win the
next set she would have succeeded in re-
tanning the championship; if Miss Moore
won the fourth set the fifth and last
would decide the battle. The New
Jersey maiden began that fourth
set with energy and determination.
The trim little figure of Miss
Moore moved from side to side of
her court returning the ball with great
GOODNESS and accuracy. To be brief, she
won that fourth set, but on the fifth and
deciding one the superior skill and expe-
rience of Miss Cahill told and the latter
finally won

Trees in Massachusetts over Nine Hun
dred years Old.
The great oaks ut NNavcrly, Mass,
the Boston lie. 0isi says, are suryivals
fcf an oak forest that must have
existed in that region, according to
the biologists and students OF trccs,
as far back as the tenth century.
They bear every evidence of great
age, ard an elm tree In the neigh
borhood with Its great limbs lying
OH the ground and nearly all Of it's
branches dccayed, is the most ven-
erable object in tho line Of trees
that can probably be displayed in
any part Of New England. It IL
well worth a visit to Waycrly just
to see the size of its trunk and its
dignity I'm decay is very Impress
i've.
The dozen oak trees in the, neigh
borhood arc of the sort that attain
q very great age, and that main-
tain their vlrility unimpnrcd. We
know of only one other Oak tree
in Now England that can be COM
pared with them. That is located
In Ipswich, and Is larger and moro
venerable, apparently, than any Of
tho Waverly oaks, an that and
tho Waverly oaks, We are glad to
know, have been inspected by the
State Park Commissioners, and are
likely to be preserved. It Is worth
ones while to see and study these
majestic oaks. They are seen to
great advantage In the winter, when
the rugged limbs are bare and their
immense strength Is revealed, and
In summer. when they are covered
with foliage. they are objects Of
wonderful beauty. The State OF
MaSsac has duty to enfran.
chise these trees and make them
public property. They are the glory
Of the State, and almost as much
an object Of interest as the old
State House or the venerable struc.
ture called the Old South Meeting
House.
