this locality the industry Is yet In i's

been greater than all other Industries
combined There are at this time
nearly 800 men employed in the Goa
mines of Cascade county. The pay ron
of the mines at Sand Coulee aggregates
nearly So. 900 per month. while some
thing like $4,000 per month is dispensed
at Belt among the employees OF the

lenge has been sent to +. f.. Bacon, England's

with Tommy Connect. the greatest mar at the
game In this country. Such q race has been
earnestly desired by both principals since each

while expert students of the game on both sides
OF the water have been feverishly anxious to
have such a climax brought about. The noted
rivals stand out in such bold relief. even among
contemporary champions. and seem so we'll
matched on collateral form that sporting senti-
ment almost demands a decisive trial.
Those who remember the matches between
Lon Myers and W. q. George can readily appre-
ciate the full significance of the proposed con-
test. Each of the past masters referred to had
to stretch u point in order to come nearer to tho
others special distance, and yet. although each
In turn was running out OF his distance. what a
fIrore their duels created. In the present in
stance the gifts of the rivals all tend in the
same direction. and there would be no tangible
advantage on either side in selecting any dis
lance from 440 yards up to three miles. So
close, indeed, do their lines run that scarcely
any three OF the many critics who have been
discussing the match for the past few days can
be found to agree as to which rival should 20
out and mako the pace.

Fsuit Found with the Omcini Rstins or
FIny-six American Experts.

The official ranking Of the leading lawn ten
mis- players for 1895 has stirred up among the
local enthusiasts an animated discussion on the
relative merits OF last seasons experts. Much
disappointment has been shown at the shabby
treatment that tho prominent local players re-
colved at the hands Of tho committee, while tho
high rank accorded to several others has been
equally surprising. Handicap tournaments are
TO be officially established this season. and the
National Hsndicnpping Committee Is supposed
to use the recent ranking as q basis for their
calculations. II this plan Is followed out there
will be s~Ieepers' in all the tournaments, and
the dinlculticso Of accurate handicapplnR will be
more forcibly impressed on the committee than
upon the recent ranking committee.

which ranked the leading PLAYERS Of 1904, but
