STATE TENNIS TOURNAMENT
First Event Of the Annual Festival Of the
Omaha Club.
EIGHT EXCELLENT ENTRIES IN SINGLES
Competition for Championship of Ne
brnskR Opens This Morning
Matches scheduIed-Cracks
Coming Next Week.

Eight players have entered their names
as competitors for the tennis champion
ship Of Nebraska now held by c. S. Culling-
ham.
The competitors are all men who think
that, with a little the best of the luck,
they can get through to meet the champion.
The list includes Roy Austin, who won
the city tournament last year, defeating
Cullingham on even terms; r., II. Spencer,
who made his record at Leland Stanford
university and has been seen on the omaha
club grounds this season; C. II. Young, who
has for three or four years been close up
to the leaders among Omaha players; Buzz
Colpetzer, a very oool-headed and clean
handler of the racket; Frank Haskell, who
beat every competitor in the city tournament
a couple of months ago; G.. Il. Haverstick
last years secretary of the Omaha club
Willard Hopkins. who has had persistent
practice this season and is probably at his
best just now; and Earl Farnsworth, Grand
Islands leading representative.
The draw for places was taken last even
ing. In the first round the players meet as
follows:
Roy Austin plays r, II. Spencer.
C. II. Young plays NJ. Colpetzer.
Frank Haskell plays George Haverstick.
Willard Hopkins plays Earl F~arnsworth.
These four matches will open the tourna-
ment at 1890 this morning on the Omaha
club courts at Twenty-third and Harvey
streets. The four winners will play in the
afternoon at 3, and it is not necessary to
point out that there will be plenty of inter
est in the afternoon matches, which will be
the semi-inals. The final round may be
left until Monday. The winner will meet
c. S. Cullingham for the title of champion
Of Nebraska and it will be the aim of the
tournament managers to get the whole of
the state tournament out of the way before
the interstate event opens on Tuesday
morning.
Several outsiders, from Chicago, Lemars
Topeka, Lawrence, Hastings, have entered
for singles and doubles in next weeks big
meet, of which the state tournament which
begins today is the forerunEer. 1t will be
far and away the finest festival of lawn ten
mis- ever seen in Nebraska. l.. Fl. Waidner
and w. Carver of Chicago are both men OF
national reputation. G. X. Belden Of Min
n%oapolis, who is expected, has beaten Waid-
ner several times during 1896. R. Nichol-
son of Lemars Ia, is a brilliant net player
who aroused great enthusiasm in Omaha
two years ago, and he will bring with him
sas will send a strong team and there
will be a big entry of Omaha, Lincoln and
Hastings players, with others from Council
Bluffs ard elsewhere.
The principal interest will be in the com
petition for the F. S. Parmelee cup. The
winner of this is entitled to the champion
ship of the four states of Nebraska, Iowa,
Kansas and Missouri. The tournament is
one of the series authorized by the United
States Lawn Tennis association and the
championship titles are official.

 This daily contact for year after year with such troubles gives experience. Ex- perience is essential to success.
 My Medical Dispensary was established in the city of Birmingham August 3. 1887. for the exclusive cure of Private Dis eases. Privacy is one of it's special fea- lures. It is so arranged that one patient never necessarily sees another. People who have social relati to sustain ap- preciate this.

Cotton Letter.

New York, Feb. 19.--Liverpool came sharply lower today and prices here de- clined to the lowest point yet touched, May selling down to TBS. but the fluctuations were unusually rapid and nervous. The fact that strong houses were covering their shorts caused some bullish feeling in the last hour and the close was very steady at the best prices of the day, May being 7.66Q 7.67. If Liverpool should support our rally we shall not be surprised at further re- coverery tomorrow, but we hardly expect any material or lasting advance March today was relatively the strongest month, owing to a report that leading house will demand the cotton on heavy line of March contracts, which it holds.
