play in all of the most important tour
naments of all the country as soon as
he puts his foot on our shore. Last
season he did not arrive until late in
July, and he is not expected this year
until about the Same time. The Eng
fish championship matches are schcd-
uled for tho first part OF July, and
Goodbody will probably play ut VIM
bledon bcforeohe comes to America.
There are slated here, however, three
or four big tournaments, between the
timo he will probably arrive and the
opening OF the championship meeting
at Newport, August II. The Irish OK
pert and any other British cracks lie
may bring with him will be welcome
to all.
Champion Wrcnn, Larncd, Chace and
Rowland all succeeded in beating the
foreigner last senson. though not all at
Newport, and each OF these four p.av-
ers will be in harness again this sum
mer. Wrcnn will probably be seen in
most of the long series of invitation
tournaments Which precedc tho cham
pionship event. and this should give
him On excellent chance to ret into his
best form. Last July the champion be-
gan very badly, and, after losing one
match at West Newton, defaultcd the
others and withdrew. He he'd started
playing without enough practice, and
naturally fell down hard After that
hrst tournament, however. he began to
play championship tennis, and lost
only two other matches during the sea
son.
Wrenn is the fourth champion OF
America since the title was instituted
in 1851, and by far the most brilliant.
sears and Slocum, the first and second,
were essentially steady players. and
neither was accredited with wonderful
brilliancy. Campbell was just the re-
verse, being far moro brilliant than he
was steady. Wrenn, however, is the
first of the royal line VINO has COM
bined steadiucss and brilliancv. Like
Chacc, Budlong and Parker, he began
ms career as an interscholaseic charn-
pion' and has won the highest laurcls
while still in college.

Hovey arc getting to be ''grizzlod vet
Grams at the game, and are pretty near
~ due to retire. They are no further
from the top than In former seasons,
but both have business cares to occupy
their time and do not get the opportun-
ity to practice as much as the younger
men. Were it not for the fact that
they hold the championship at double
together and that both were beaten
last year in close five-set matches by
Goodbody at Newport, they would
probably retire on their laurcls. Good.
body will give both another chance to
regain lost laurcls, while a third vie
tory in the doubles will make the mng-
nifcent challenge cups they now hold
their personal property.
Hobart may play at New Haven in
May for the New England champion
ship to get back the challenge cup that
he lost there last spring to Arthur T..
toote, OF Yale. Both he and Hovcy
may be seen at West Newton again in
June, while Hovcy will defend the
Massachusetts state championship and
Hobart the New York state challenge
cup. Tuxedo win tempt Hobart, and
Longwooa will have the same fascina-
ton for Hovey, rs both arc close to
their respective homes in New York
and Boston. Both will play again Mt
Newport-that goes without saying
and both will probably go to Narragan-
sctt Pier the week before in order to
get into condition Tor the championship
matches.
The younger drst-ciass experts, who
have more timo TO play, ana who will
be seen this season in almost, IL not all,
the biggest tournaments, are Larned,
Chace and Stevens. OF these, Larned
is the most promising and almost in

are being arranged between Americans

Here the game shows little, II anv.
Effect of the new-found craze for rolf.
Golf has claimed the interest of many
old tennis players, but it will be found
that nine-tenths of those who desert
the tennis courts for the golf links are
either too old, too equity, or too law to
play tennis. The older game requires
much more activity than its rival, and
younger men who have enthusiasm and
energy seldom prefer the revised edi-
ton of shiny" which has suddenly
sprung into popularity.
Goodbody's visit last summer had an
excellent effect on the game here. His
style of play taught the American ex-
perts much-needed lesson. Now thev
want to apply what they have learned,
and all are on edge TO try the new the
orics and new strokes. They want tc

tnat time many gooo critics pelevco
that Larned was the coming champion.
Larned is still in college, and he has
the youth and strength, energy and
ambition necessary to keep on strug-
Cling till he does get on top
Chace, too, will play in most of the
biggest events, and he and Larned will
be closely watched. Both have shown
championship form at times, but
neither has yet been consistent. Each
has several challenge cups to defend.
and in the invitation tournaments, to
which both arc sure of invitations, they
should make a pretty rnco for first hon
ors. These two men are the most re-
liable players we have to oppose Good
body and any other foreigners who
may play here next summer.
Stevens is, perhaps, the most uncer-
tain OF the whole list. His game has
long been considered the best base
line play in this country, but no refuses
to volley at all, and it seems as though
1t were impossible for him to PLAY bet
ter than he does now. The famous
Lawford carried everything before him

Renshars came up and learned to vol

Affecting Local Option by the Court OF
Civil Appeals.

In the court Of clvll appeals last
Wednesday Chief Justice Lightfoot, in
the case OF Kimberly vs.. Morris ct al,
from Hopkins county, rendered an in
teresting opinion bearing on local OPP
tlon. This in substance is the history
OF the case:
A petition of 400 citizens was present.
ed to the county commissioners court
asking for county election on the To-
cal option question. The commits
sioners' court refused to order the cleo
ton on the ground that the local option
law OF 1893 was unconstitutional, and
on the further ground that prohibition
already prevailed in the precincts of
the county and that therefore the peo-
pie of that precinct would have no right
to vote in new county election,
The petitioners then applied to
compel the commissioners court
to order the election for
the county. Judge Terhune refused
the mandamus and held with the COM
missioners' court on the two points
named.
Judge Llghtfoot reversed the case.
He holds that the act of 1893 was con-
stitutional, that It was the duty of the
commissioners court to order the cleo
ton as asked for. aud that they had
no discretion in the matter, the requl-
site number of qualified voters having
asked for the election. The court also
! holds that the fact that one or more
/ precincts having already voted and
1 adopted local option did not interfere
with the right Of the people to have
an election for the entire county. and
| vice versa; that the election for the
entire county did not affect the right
OF the people Of any precinct or subdi-
| vision of the county to have an cleo
| tlon. The court also holds-and on this
| point It got the opinion OF the supreme
court-that the district Judge should
have issued the writ Of mandamus re-
quiring the commissioners court to or
| der the election. Judge Terhune Is in
structed to issue the writ
