edged leading exponent of tennis In
America. with a tire months finishing

the finals for the national championship
today.
R.D. Wrenn, ex-champion, was his OPP
ponent, and had only to wait for two sets
and a half until Larned played himsei
to q standstiu. 1t must be Acknowledge
ed that the $500 spectators saw some
fine tennis this morning in the nrsl Two
sets. Larned's playing was something
marvellous, and Wrenn could do nothing
with his cross-court drives or his SMASH
es from the net. Wrenn's lobs were
handled in a mastery mann =, and after
a few Intellectual attemps at this game,
Wrenn gave it UP as a bad job. AT the
end of the second set, with two sets In
Larned's favor, every one thought the
match as good as settled. The play IN
the third set was even for four games.
After that, however, Lsrned fell on
trifie and Wrenn seeing the opportunity
for which he had bene waiting during
the whole game, jumped in and snatcned
three games in rapid succession This
beat Larned, for he lost his nerve ana
after that wbs not responsible for MS
returns. The two remaining sets went
TO Wrenn, who only had to return the
bail and wait for Larned 10 drive OUT
sf court or into the net with uniformity
that was heartbreaking to his support

They came out for the deciding set
amid almost GREATNESS excitement,
Wrenn's magnificent work and deter
mination being apLauded. Wrenn took
the first, q. live game, and followed II by
two more Larned beating himself by
bad balls. In the fourth game, Larned
played in his old time form at the net
and won. but his errors in the NTH gave
Wrenn another victory. With the score
Of games Al, Wrenn served four but

RELATIVES ARE HOPEFUL.
General Harris Speaks of the Efforts
to Save Hammond.

General N. II. Harris, uncle of Mrs.
John Hays Hammond. could offer no ex-
planation of the startling dispatch from
South Africa. All through the difficulty
between Hammond and the Boer Govern
ment and the subsequent trial 1t was Gen
eral Harris who corresponded quietly
with his niece's husband and who figured
most prominently as mediator and
friend of the imprisoned mining engineer.
In the present crisis, however, he has re-
ceived not the slightest notification from
the Transvaal.
"All know about the matter is what
can CLEAN from the press dispatches" said
he. II have received no message direct,
nor has any of our friends in town that
know of. Yet this fact is no reason why
we should build hopes that something
wholly unexpected had happened. Mrs.
Hammond is with her husband. She has
never left him during this trouble. I am
inclined to think that she would send a
dispatch direct, although possibly they all
know there that the press dispatches
reach us as quickly as private ones, and
that the press accounts are longer and, of
course, correct. On that account Mrs.
Hammond may have decided not to send
me cablegram.
"Have you taken any steps in the mat
ter?" he was asked.
None" was the reply OF General
Harris. "What could do under the cir
cumstances? l am waiting to hear
further details, but have not the faintest
idea as to when they may come, or what
they may be. l may get news to- might.
"While the news is alarming il is hard
to believe it is correct. We have assur-
ances from the Secretary of State that
Mr.. Hammond's life was not in danger
The law of the case is now well known
here. The penalty prescribed by the Boer
constitution for treason was stated to be
banishment and confiscation of personal
property. And yet in time of war, when
martial law obtains, things might be diff
lerent in the event OF court-martial.
