The Greenvile Rife Club will enlarge

1t is probable that the proposed great sec
| tlonal contest will not materialize. Otto Won
| Lengerke, who had charge of the arrange
ments for getting up the Eastern team, was
| taken sick q few days ago. 1t is possible that
| the teams may be cut down to five men on
a side. If this is done the purse viii be
doubled.
