Tournament opened on the grounds of
the Athletic club in this city, yesterday.

many years. sent four men as follows
Dana, '96, Fogg, Dana '98 and Ives.
Colby sent MoFadden and Shannon.
Bates sent Hilton, Boothby, Stanley and
Milliken, and Maine State college sent
Sawyer and Clary.
Philip Dana and Fogg of Bowdoin are
members of the Senior cle SIS and have
made we'll known and enviable records in
previous tournaments. Ives and John
Dane are Sophomores, who were in the
tournament last year and made good
showing then, as very promising Fresh
men.
The Colby men have appeared in the
touguz rnents before and SO have Hilton
and Boothby OF Bates. Hilton is Bates
star 2,agec now. He was the partner of
Pettigrew last year in doubles.
The Maine State College has sent new
men.
In the forenoon, Boothby of Bates and
Shannon of Colby played the first event
which resulted in victory for Shannon
by a score of 6 8, go.
The next and last event in the forenoon
was contest between Fogg of 3owdoin
and MoFadden of Colby, resulting in q
victory for Fogg by a score of 6-3. sc.
The last set was very close and showed
some excellent tennis. McFaddar made
desperate effort for at least one set, but
Fogg was too strong for him.
The first event in the afternoon was a
contest in singles between Dana, '96 of
Bowdoin and Sawyer of Maine State.
The ex-champion made it very one
sided contest for the new man from
Orono who seemed to be entirely out
classed. Aga in and again Dana sent him
swift Lawfords over the net and they
seemed to paralyze the energies of his
opponent. The score of the sets was 60
and ga in favor of Dana The State
College men had just arrived at noon and
the long journey from Orono and neces-
sary early rising doubtless made a big
difference in Sawyer's playing. The
second set showed that he is capable of
good tennis.
The other afternoon events were a con.
test in doubles by Dana, '96 and Fogg OF
