GOOD TENNIS WORK.
If Was Apparent That the Americans Hit
 Harder Than the Others.

[ nurOer LAlAn the OUnofbs
 Newton, Mass, June 27,--In the first set of the doubles this afternoon be- tween Hovey and Hobart on the one side and Pim and Mahoney on the other, these things were apparent-that the Americans. hit harder, lobbed to better advantage in forcing back their opponents from the net and. lastly, that our net game is far stronger than the British game, at least for doubles. According to our ideas, moreover, the positions taken by the Irishmen were wrong, for they stood in the same places, whether they were the servers or the strikers-out. Hobart and Hovey gained the net at every chance and generally found a good chance to smash cross court or down the alleys. Of these two Hobart gained the greater number of places. Pim showed great cleverness, at times, in returning some of Hobart's drives that the latter seem ed to think clean passes and Mahoney was skillful in accurate passes. The set by points:
 First set: Hovey and Hobart-4, 8, 6, ?, 3, 4, 5, 8, 4, 1, 4, 4-43 points, games.
 Pim and Mahoney-2, 5. 4, 4. 5. 1, 3, 5, 1, 4. 1, 1--96 points. games. The Americans took the first four games of the second set by clever work in placing hard between their oppo- nents, who however, forced them to hit into the net or out by well judged placing of ground strokes. Hovey did some great work in smashing in the seventh. A last attempt to brace gave. the Irishmen the next two games, but Hovey and Hobart easily won the set by taking the tenth by splendid work at the net. The points were:
 Second set, Hovey and Hobart-4, 4, 4, 1, 4, 4, ?, i, 4-32 points, games.
 Pim and Mahoney-1, ?, 0, 1, 4, 6, 2, 4, 4, 1-25 points, games.
 Only two games of the seven played i'm the third set were vantage games, and of these the British champions only took one.
 Any attempt by them to gain the net, was stopped by fine lobbing on the part Ol llIe AiilolICdHS, WuO pOuuuSo dil T0- turns even harder than ever. Hobart had greater accuracy with his ground strokes than ever before and Hovey's smashing proved very effective in set- ting points. The points were:
 Third set. Hovey aud Hobart-4, 10 4, 4. 4, 3, 433 points. games.
 Pim and Mahoney-1, s, 2, 2, 2, 5, 0-20 points, game
 The Chace-Larned match was started in the rain and finally had to be stopped in the middle of the second set, the downpour was so great. The whole of the contest played was a regular tizzle from a spectators point of view. Chace made the games very tedious by con- tinual lobs, until Larned would make net or an out. Chace won the first set. 6-0. with the points 24 to g. The second set as far as played was 3-2, Chace leading. All unfinished matches are to be played on Saturday. d

THEY CAME NEAR TO A RIOT
FIGHTLN KENTUOKK'sO CONVENTION

 ceedings Would End in Riot--The Other Contests Were Very Uninteresting with
 One Exception.

 During the progress of the third bal lot Delegate c. P. Taylor denounced Chairman Berry for alleged unfairnesA, winding up with a round cursing. This was the beginning of scene of wild disorder. Every delegate was on his feet and crowding toward the platform, where the chairman sat Candidates Hale and MetcalfeD Ieaped upon the stage, and dozen others followed, and for while fists were shaken and threats were made on every side. Par tial order was fnally restored by the chairman agreeing to have another call of the roll for the fourth baxot, before allowing counties to change their votes. The final ballot resulted in favor oe Hale.
 The other contests were uniuteresting with the exception of that for register of the land office, which took three bal lots to decide-the present holder of the once DeluB nOlk4HHLeu. AuuAI0H Norman and Attorney General Hen drick were also renominated. A slate made up by the Hardin men was smashed in two instances. but seven out of nine offices were filled according to the dictates of those who nominated the free silver man for governor.

 General Hardin to-day predicted she election of the nominees of the con- ventioh. Clay's friends say they will work for the ticket, but they do not conceal the fact that the result was a I bitter disappointment to them and do not hesitate to say that the republicans have a very good chance to carry the state next November. The republicans think so and have already begun to lay their plans for the campaign. Clay, the defeated candidate for governor, to-day said he was now out of politics for good

Caused q Loss.

Chicago.

Bought It Now, Reliably Stated in Behalf
 of the New Haven Water Company.
 A report in circulation last night, and which is credited by some of our most prominent citizens who heard it, is that the purchase of Saltonstar Lake park, of which the Journal and Courier" gave the first news to the public We'd nesday informing, is in the interest and in behalf of the New Haven Water com pany, who are the real purchasers. The report is given on excellent authority and there is good reason to believe that it Is correct, as the Water company has a vital interest in having possession of the lake and it's surroundings, and such a purchase as the one in question would be in the interest also of maintaining the purity of the water and preventing it from being contaminated by being used extensively for pleasure purppsesc

BUCHANAN MUST GO.
Judge LacomBe Denies the Writ of HaBeas
 Corpus.

Corpus.
 New York, June 27--Lawyer Arthur Butts appeared before Judge Lacombe to-day and applied for writ of habeas corpus for Dr. Robert Buchanan. Judge Lacomlbe denied the motion and Lawyer Butts has made an appeal to the United State supreme court, which acts as al stay of the exec1tion. The grounds on which the writ of habeas corpus was asked for were an improper conviction in the general sessions court and the fact that Judge Brown of the United States district court denied an applica- tioh for habeas corpus, from which an appeal was taken.
 Tn the application the petition says that Buchanan is a British subject and is detained in Sing Sing prison in viola tion of the laws of the United States and of the state of New York, and in violation of the treaty betweeni the United States and England. It was stated that Buchanan was unlawfulIy convicted and that some of the jury were not in possession of their natural faculties and were decrepit and lndfrrl. and not of sound judgment. The peti-i tion recites that Judge Brown of th9 United States district court refused grant on April 29, a, writ of habeas col pus, that an appeal was taken to United States court, and that theref the court of appeals of the state of York has no jurisdiction in the ter.

The Session of the Elocutionsts was Quiet
 One.
 Boston June 27.-The fourth days session of the National Association of Elocutionists opened to-day with the reading, by Secretary Trueblood, of the report of the committee on colleges, Tn the twelve leading colleges and uni- versailles of the east elocutibn and ora- tory are taught in connection with Eng fish literature, logic and rhetoric, but in a majority of the schools of the country there are no separate depart ments of elocution and oratory. The committee suggested that elocution is suffering in public institutions from the failure of instructors to command the situation and hence secure for this department the same consideration shown to others.
 There is too much of the dramatic, too much desire to show off the speaker, regardless of the subject matter of his oration. The report was adopted,
 Mrs. Manning read a paper on Dram atization as an Aid to Interpretation" Then the convention devoted half hour to an informal discussion of the "Rela- tion of statue-posing, musically accom- panied recitations and bird notes to the art of elocution."
 F. Townsend Southwick of New York read a paper on "The Neglected Trini- ty," the Trinity being, as he explained, "the first person speaking, the second person spoken to and the third person spoken of"
 A discussion followed. The session ended with brief address on the prin- ciples of rhetoric as applied to the voice.
