be formidable candidate for champion ship honors, but has always disappointed his friends. It Is doubtful if the style of his play Is capable of much if any moro improvement, and the strong net players generally succeed in downing him. It is possible, however. that he may reform and learn to vollcy, in which case he would become one of tho most formidable players in the land. He was ranked seventh last year and has bCn in the first ten almost every year for the last four or five.
 There aro besides those mentioned a younger generation of experts in W. Cor don Parker of New York. Clarence K. Budlong of Providence and Stephen c. Millrtt and Edwin P Fischer, both of New York, by whom championship form may be reached this season. All were ranked in the first 90 last fall and two of them in the first ten. Fischer is perhaps tho most promising of this lot, and with a little moro experience he will take lot of beat ing from any of the cracks beforO he ac knowledgcs himself defeated.
 To this list of experts should be added a host of younger and even moro ambitious players, from whose ranks the champions of years to come must be developed. With such wealth of material at hand to choose from thcrc could not be a better year for us to meet formidable visitors than in 1895 The foreigners will be wei comcd with open arms, but for one be lieve that they will return to their native shores again in the fall without the chal- lenge cup which represents the champions ship of America Il PARMLY PARET.

A VIEW OF BOSTON.
The Western Man Makes Comparisons and
 Draws Conclusions.
Especial Correspondence. l


 Especial Correspondencel
 BosToN, May 7.-"If I were asked to put into words tho impression Boston pro- l duces on my mind" said a shrewd, soft | halted western man, with whom I dined l hero yesterday, "I should say that, as com pared with New York, Chicago or even Washington, Boston appears to me like a toy city. Of the four towns have men, 1 tioncd, each of which certainly represents a distinct phase of American life should say that Chicago gives nc the strongest
 impression of size and that regardless of
 the fact that Chicago is in fact, a very big place. l do not carc straw about the 1 claims of New York and Chicago concern
 ing their population. Everybody knows that therc arc morc people clustered about | the mouth of the Hudson than anywhere l else on this continent but all the same l Chicago always seems n much larger city to my eyes than New York, and suppose
 that it is the broad and long streets stretch | ing away with interruption or deviation i for miles and furnishing the eye with l seemingly endless vistaS that produces | that impression. In New York you sec 1 long streets running north and south, but | in many cases tho inequalities of the sur
 face of the ground break the view, and when you look east or west in nearly every | part of the town the streets are seen to como to abrupt nominations at the banks of the rivers
 "Now, of course I know that Boston is | much larger than Washington. but Wash inGtnn hos tho lows s.->>,. teaches. It's dis tanccs arc indeed apparcntly magnificent, and so tho city appears much larger to mo than 1t really is Boston streets are mar TOW and crooked, and 1t is the latter more than the former that makes the town look like a toy city It is impossible for the eye to rnam far without bringing up against brick or stone wall. The narruwncSs of the str,ets makes it necessary that the side walks should be narrow adding to tho i'm prcSSion of littleneSS. and, curiously enough the stone blocks with which the StrCCtS arc paved arC. as n rule, smaller in Boston than any have seen in other cities
 l had about made up my mind as to the toylike appearance of the town on my first visit here" the wcSternrr continued, "whcn l ran up against that curious little old structurr the old statchousc, with its central spiral staircaSe. think that is l the most exquisite bit of dignified toy architecture 1 ever saw, and it confirms the impression of the stranger who has already come to consider the town in the light of a municipal plaything.
 II want to qualify all this, " the west ern man concluded, "by saying that who- ever allows any such mental impression as I have described to mako him consider l Boston people in the light of nlliputians
 in my sense, makes very great mistake. Boston is a big town, busy town and a | town of serious purpose, d its inhabit- ants broad minded and pleasant to know.

Facts About the Defender.

C. Oliver Iselin, one of the owners of the new cup defender Defender, says that she Is an out and out keel boat; that her beam is a little less than the Colonia's s and her draft considerably more; that she Is manganese bronze below the water line and aluminium above; that she will have the best suit of sails which money can buy and the skill of sailmakers produce, and that she will practically have four suits of sails from which will be selected the ones which prove best In the preliminary racing.
 She is not far from i26 feet over all and certainly not under 80 feet water line nor over the 90 foot limit, She Is an out and out keel boat, an improvement of the Colonia model in ways deemed necessary from past experience, and has no center board, auxiliary or otherwise, as Some newspapers have declared, Mir.

Tho rough man from the wild southwest was seated at the same table in the hotel with a nice little gentleman from New York, as dainty as a flower, and he had just struck an oasis of pie in the dessert and was subdividing 1t with his knife.

ance the blast went of, and old Jim was last seen clawing around among the clouds It was taken for granted that he was dead. Some said his mortal remains might be found at the bottom of Red Horse Ia vine, but we figured that thcrc would bc so few of them that il wouldn't pay to go down and hold a funeral. For an hour or two everybody said he was sorry and hoped that our loss was old Jim's gain, and then things went on as before
 Four days went by, and just as we were eating supper something came over the hill and down the trail. As it came nearer we made out that it was a human being As 1t reached camp we discovered that 1t was old Jim wakely. Hair, eyebrows and whiskers were sinGcd of. he was barefoot cd and almost naked, and one side of his face was black as ink from the powder He had sailed away to the bottom of Red Horse ravine, aliGhted in n trce top, and had been four days getting out and hack to us Of course everybody got up and checrcd and rushed to shakc hands, but old Jim waved us all aside and said:
 ''In course, you all know that I was h'isted by the blast. You jest banked on it that I was scattered to the four winds. Elder Watkins, did the boys do any s'arChin fur my manglcd rcnains:"
 Well, mo-" drawlcd the elder. We didn't calkerlate we could find anything moron an ear or knee ran or n couple of teeth, and we couldn't hcv much of a spread over that"

 Things hev bin goin right along jest the same as if had never lived on the face of this airth, hev they?" demanded the old man ia :oncs of rising indignation. "Waal, Uncle Jim" replied the elder tho boys felt sorry. of course, but as fur things Goin right along jest the same | 'spcct they hev. Wc're all powerful glad you escaped with yer lite, and now'- Old Jim stopped him with a gesture, slowly looked around the camp, and then turned his back and took the trail for Bull | ly Boy bend. He was in sight for full mile as he limped along and VIC whistled and shouted and cntrcatcd him to return, | but he never even looked hack. His feel ings had received 6 mortal wound by our neglect, and he finally passed out of sight over the ridge, and wo never sct eyes on him again.

A Gallant Court.

In a case before Paris court, in which a popular actress has had to appear as a witness the judge seems to have shown considerable diflidcnce about asking the lady, as he was in duty bound to do, what was her age Evidently he considered that such a question put to witness would be a direct indictment to perjury, so he asked her her ago kefore she had been sworn. How old arc you, madamr" he said. Aft CT little hesitation the lady owned to be- ing 29 years of age. And now that you have told the court your age" continued tho gallant judge, you swear to tell the truth, tho whole truth and nothing but tho truth. Cincinnati Times-Stnr.

 With Foote, Rowland won a number of
 very important tournaments in doubles,

 the possible champions of 1895, and some
 of his matches last year were brilliant

 matches earlier in the season, but succeed | ed in holding the doubles championship of
 tho country with HOvey. He will remain in condition and play again this year to
 defend this title and the New York state
 championship. As he Is in business he
 will not be able to play throughout the entire season, but will find time to contest
 at Newport as usual for the championship. Stevens will be seen again this season in all the big tournaments played on grass
 courts He has sworn a solemn oath that | he will not play on earth courts, and he
 respects his VOW. Stevens has played the same consistent base line game for the last four or five years and always about as we'll | as now. He has several times seemed to

Il might as well tell a story about Horace Greeley worked with Greeley for years He always called me Asa - never could remember Amos.

Now, Mrs. Gree Icy was what one might call spirited woman. Tho moment she entered the door her eyes fell indignantly on my trousseau as I'd piled it up-hat, gloves and stick-on tho table. Without word, and before I could speak to her, she swooped on the outfit like a hawk, and the next moment threw them out of the window.
 Then she left the room, without pausing for speech, Ss one who had taught somebody that the hall was the place for hats and canes and similar brio -brac. Twas inclined to get trifle hot-a man naturally might who sees his hat bounced upon and cast into the shrubbery-but before I could get up or say word Greeley stretched out his hand in a deprecatory way and cheered me with the remark:

Many astute observers believe that had it not been for the scandal of 1885 Sir Charles would be premier today, and if he really aspires to q conspicuous place among British statesmen his struggles to attain it will be watched with wide spread interest,
 Sir Charles Wentworth Dilke was born at Chelsea on Sept. 4. lS4S, and is n member of n distinguished family His father was n friend of the prince consort, who made him q baronet and secured his appointment as ambassador to St. Petersburg.

About this time he married Miss Kate Shell. brilliant and handsome Irish woman. who was often mobbed with him by crowds who opposed his rcpub- Gcan views. When she died, her body was cremated, and Sir Charles still af- fectionately preserves her ashes in an antique vase. Finally friendship for the Prince of Wales caused him to abandon his ardent republication, and in 1880 he became under secretary for foreign affairs under Lord Granville. He took high rank aS a statesman and was prom inently mentioned for premier before tho Crawford case ruined him. In 1899 he succeeded in re-entering parliament despite tho opposition of tho Social Purity association, and since then he has been working hard to secure great political influence. His second wife. the widow of Professor Mark Hopkins, was . firm believer in his innocence in the Crawford affair and married him while the scandal was convulsing British O. l eiety.
