working with q will, and. although it has |
been voluntary, a self-imposed task, the
event of next week will not suffer nor Will |
the patrons be disappointed in the enter
tAinment. All the games will be PLAYED |
with new zest; they will also be hotly
contested. and the fact that all OF them
will be very evenly matched between ex
ceptlonally fine players will make them
all worthy the close attention and large
attendance that they will ndoubtedly
have. Tournament parties are already
being arranged, that will so down on

devotees that are not manly men, for
there IS none that eXacts all the instincts. |
traits, and characteristics of gentle
men more continuously in the playing.
