contest, the ladies playing extremely WELL
especially Miss Hoffman, who has played
very little lately. She drove very deep
into her opponents court, and virtually
won the match. Miss Hobart was very
quick on her feet, but did not have the
same strength in her strike that Miss
Hoffman had Taylor, although much ou.
of practice, played very well, and showed
his remarkable Judgment in several in
stances, allowing balls to go which dropped
but with only margin of couple of
inches to spare.
Tbs first set went to Driscoll and Miss
Hoffman, TO 3; the next to their oppo-
nents, A to 6, and the final set, which was
a very long and hot one, was won by Dris-
coll and Miss Hoffman by IS to Ii, with
the match.
The next match was between Miss Clark
and George de Long and Mrs Woods and
Southland Hoffman. The match was very
one-sded from the fact that De Long took
everything he could reach, and returned il
swiftly to Mrs. Woods. This robbed the
play of all interest which it might have
had. Southland Hoffman played a very
fair game, considering that he had not
played for over year.
Miss Clark and De Long won two straight
sets easily, by 6 to and to 2. This leaves
Miss Hoffman and Driscoll, and Miss Clark
and De Long to play off.
1t being too late by the time the last
match was finished, the final match was
postponed until Monday. The match
between Driscoll and De Long and the
Whitneys will take place tomorrow at
2:30 The Whitneys ought to win it, as
they have one set to their credit and are
playing as good tennis as was ever seen on
the coast.
The grand tennis ball this evening was a
brilliant affair. The United States army
officers here were nearly all present.

Run,ors of StdrtItn0 Testfmony Yet to Be
Giren.
SAN JOSE, CAL, Aug. 1o.-The inquest
into the cause of Elezer Frost's death was
resumed this morning. Nothing of a sem
sational character was developed at to-
days sessions, although rumors are circu-
lated that when DR.. Cunningham, who
made a chemical analysis of the stomach
and brain of Elezer Frost, takes the stand
some startling testimony will be given.
The morning session was taken up by
examining DIR. Case, the physician who at
tended Frost during his illness. He stated
that he mixed his own medicines. He ex-
hibited medicine-case from which he had
mixed the medicine, and turned it over to
DR.. Cunningham, who will examine the
drugs in it.
Mrs. Frost was put on the stand again
and subjected to rigid cross-examination.
She said she had given her husband doses
of morphine and quinine as per orders of
DR.. Case. AS to washing the body after
death, Mrs. Frost testified that she simply
carried out the wishes of her husband.
The oiled sack on the breast, which, it has
been alleged, contained papers telling of
the location of thousands OF dollars of
buried money, she testified was nothing
but a sack to contain poultice for sore
place on the neck.
DIR. Trueman, who had assisted at the
autopsy, was called as witness, and de-
scribed the condition of the dead man S
body. It was his opinion that death had
resulted from disease of the kidneys.

ON DEL MONTE COURTS.
Exciting Contests In the
Doubles and Mixed
Doubles.
The Latter Won by Driscoll and
Miss Hoffman and De Long
and Miss Clark.

DEL MONTE, CAL, Aug. 10. - The
doubles and mixed doubles at Del Monte
continued to-day. Considerable trouble
was caused by the players trying to play
in the doubles and mixed doubles at the
same time. The final match of the doubles
between the Whitneys and Driscoll and De
Long was scheduled to come off at 80
o'clock this afternoon, while the mixed
doubles were to be played in the morning.
For certain reasons known only to them
selves Driscoll and De Long preferred to
change this around, with the result that
the morning passed without match.
At 2:30 o'clock the contestants in the
finals of the doubles appeared on the court.

hotel, and the match started promptly,
Driscoll and De Long starting the service
and through rather brilliant net play won
the first game. The Whitneys on their

reached. Here the Whitneys by good driv-

ice, and consequently easily took the next
game and set by score of s to 6. The
play had been of very high order, the
rallies being sharp and quick. Several
long ones. however, brought ont much APP
plause from the spectators.
After a few minutes rest they were
about to resume play when the matter of
the mixed doubles came up. Driscoli and
De Long were entered to play in this,
also, and it was now apparent that both
cnulo not be played on the same after
noon. After short discussion they de-
cided to let the finals of the doubles go
over until tomorrow and play the mixed
doubles right away. The Whitneys, who
were playing in good form, preferred to

In the readers own mind without argu-

Without health nothing really matters

Most all bodily troubles start in the
digestive or respiratory organs 1t is
here that improper living first makes an
opening for disease. The development
differs as constitutions and tenperaments
differ. The causes are almost identical.
To get at the root of the matter is simple
enough if you start right.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
is medicine for the whole body. 1t
works through the digestive organs on
all the others.
1t cures the first thing it comes to and
after that, the next. It puts health in
place of disease in the stomach, and from
the vantage ground thus gained, it
reaches every fiber of the body and drives
disease before it indigestion, liver
troubles, kidney complaint, biliousness,
skin and scalp diseases, salt-rheum, letter,
eczema, and all the troubles caused by
impure blood.

VIRGINIA FAIR OUTCOME
Ten Miles Covered by the Fair
Rider in Thirty-Five
Minutes.
SHE IS THE LADY CHAMPION.
Friends Assert That This Time Will
Be Considerably Shortened In
the Next Attempt.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Aug. 10.-Miss Mala
Helm of Santa Clara yesterday lowered the
ten-miIe bicycle record recently made by
Miss Birdie Fair at Coney Island twenty
minutes. Miss Helm, paced by tandem,
rode the ten miles, from Irvington to Mil
pitas, in thirty-6ve minutes. The stretch
of road is one of the best to be found and
the conditions were favorable for making
fast time. This time will probably stand
as the ladies' ten-mile record for some time
to come.
One day last week Miss Helm made the
run from.Santa Clara to San Francisco and
return, distance of 100 miles. Her actual
riding time for the century run was eight
hours.
Miss Helm is, undoubtedly, the fastest
lady rider on the coast and her friends as
sert that she can lower the record she
made yesterday several minutes.

Netc Developments IN the Fight Deer the
Peter Smith Estate.
SAN JOSE, CAL, Aug. 10.-The case of
Milton B. Smith, who is trying to estab-
fish his claim to half interest in thirty
acres of land in the Willows, valued at
$25, 900, is becoming more complicated, and
if the young man receives anything it
will only be after long and tedious legal
battle. To-day Francis w. Reid, one of
the present owners of the land, filed a
petition asking that the power of execu-
trix in the estate of Peter w. Smith,
granted to Kate Smith in 1872, be re-
voked. A few weeks ago Reid applied for
letters of administration on the estate of
Peter w. Smith, for the purpose of perfect
ing the title to the land in dispute.
Judge Reynolds made an order citing
Kate Smith, or Mrs. Lauthier as she is
now known, to appear on August % ana
show cause why the power of executrix
granted her should not be revoked.
After the widow had been granted the
power of executrix she sold the land and
removed from the county without even
submitting the sale for confirmation to the
court or asking to be discharged as execu-
triy

WORK OF STOCKTON THUGS
A San Francisco Youth Was

by Footpads.
May Die From Wounds Received at
the Hands Of Unknown
AsSailantS.

STOCKTON, CAL, Aug. 10.-At the
Russ House, on the water front, lies
young man who is unconscious from in
iuries received under circumstances lead
ing to the belief that he was beaten by
tending physician, DR.. Lanthurn, thinks
his death not at all unlikely.
The injured individual is San Fran
ciscan named Thomas Kelley, and aged
about 10 years. 1t is thought his folks live
at S12 Howard street. He arrived here by
boat this morning and went on spree.
At 10 o'clock in the forenoon DR.. Lanthurn
was summoned to the Russ House, where
he found Kelley lying insensible in bed.
whittier he had been taken from the
street.
His left eyelid was cut from corner to
corner of the optic and hung down on his
check. Above the left eve there wasa long,
gaping wound in the forehead, exposing
the white bone beneath the scalp. AS far
as could be ascertained his skull was not
fractured, but it Is possible that the blow
or blows which resulted in the gashes
caused clot of blood on the brain, in
which case he will die. On the other hand
it is just possible that his comatose condi-
ton is the result OF the nervous shock only.
1t is reported that shortly before 10
O'Clock Kelley displayed $40 piece, which
he changed. When searched in his room
he had but 81 so on his person. A young
man named Marteli, who lives at 30 Spear
street. San Francisco, and who came up
with Kelley from the metropolis, is attend
ing him. 1T is thought that the injured
man was assaulted by robbers and knocked
senseless while struggling against them,
but some say that he staggered off the
sidewalk and fell. The injuries do not
look, however, as if they had been caused
by a fall, but have the appearance of cuts
inflicted with brass knuckles.

There are a number of extensive ship

Mr.. Weinstock's idea is that there should
be cooperation in the matter of marketing
California fruits in the East, and to this
end he tried to interest the Stockton ship
