second Isst.hoIe of the final round she
had won by 2 up. The first to greet her
effusively was Mrs. Arthur Turnure,
whom she had defeated. After this the
victor was carried to the versnda OF the
clubhouse, where Secretary Tallmsdge OF
the u. S. Golf Association was in waiting
to present the silver cup presented by
Mr.. Robert Cox, NJ. r., of Edinburg,
Scotland, which will be known az the

Alter Mr.. Tallmadge had made the pre-
senatatioD Mr.. Cox. the donor, responded
gracefully, and said that ne hoped that
golf would increase in popularity, and he
reminded the men that they would have
to look out for their laurels, as the wo-
men were becoming such adopts at the
game that they would soon be asking:
"why are we not permitted to compete
for he mems championships"

WHITMAN THE VICTOR.
Won the intercollegiate Tennis Trophy
for Harvard.


NJ. B. Whitman, Harvard's crack ten
mis- player, rose TO the emergency of.the
occasion yesterday afternoon at New
Haven and defeated +. A. Driscoll Of
Georgetown University. in ihreo straight
sets, thereby winning the championship
of tho 10Th annual intercollegiate tourna-
ment and gaining for Harvard tho perma-
neDt possession of the $500 trophy stake,
that has been contested for the past 10
years.
The Yale men Tad some hopes for an
other trial this year should Driscoll de-
fsat Whitman, but the Georgetown
player, who took the lead at the start,
fell of after winning two gsmes, as he
was plainly out of form and did not
play with the same skill that signslized
his games against Ware yesterday. Whit
man seems 10 have solved DriscoIl's Pc
culisr cross-court strokes, but at no time
excepting at the start aid the latter play
winning tennis. The doubles will be de-
cided today, when the two Harvard
teams meet to decide which is the bet
ter. Harvard Is assured of the two
nscrip tions which were necessary to win
the cup.

feated Driscoll OF Georgetown, 60, Cd,

FENCING AND BOXING AT PROF. WORKS.
There vas very interesting exhibition
Ilst evening at Professor Works rooms,
rs Custom House street. in which several
mem hers of the Fencers' Club partic
pated. The first part of the entertainment
was devoted to u fencing bout betw
Charles Fletcher and Edwin Barker, In
which the former showed superior quail
ties. Next came a set-to with gloves be-
tween Fletcher and.Artnur See. Fletcher,
who Is a boxer of some renown, showed
up in good form and easily proved his
superiority. But Lee for so young a
boxer, showed many good points. The
next bout was between Victor Strong and
Clarence Gladding. 1t was one In which
considerable science was displayed on
both sides. The former, however, proved
the better man, and outpointcd his young
opponent.
For the final event arrangements had
been made Tor boxing match between
Charley Mcconnell, the 105-lb. Champion
of Brooklyn, and McNally OF this city.
Owing to McConneIl's Inability to ap-
pear on the floor, McNally of the North
End took his place.
This match was for three rounds, two
m inutes each. Some pretty hard blows
were given, but at tho end neither
seemea any the worse for the battle. The
next exhibition will be held on Monday
evening at 8.

cit Is interesting to note that the
length of the year is fxed by the revolu-
tion around the sun, while the length OF
the day is fixed by the rotation OF the
planet on it's axis. Consequently, IL the
Lowell observations are correct, the
length of the day and year will be equal
OH both Mercury and Venus.
"As TO the atmosphere surrounding
the planets, we know very little. 1t has
nearly always been approximated as to
lis density, and II the Lowell astrono-
mers have determined for feet that the
atmosphere Is of different densities be-
tween the two planets, their discovery
a certainly q wonderful one."

WASHINGTON, Dec. Pit seems
perfectly natural now said Senator

corning his routine work. Every morn
ing he is at his desk by o'clock with

his stenographer, sitting on the other
side of the desk, rapidly taking notes
of the utterances Of the senator.
1T seems perfectly natural now, but
when l first got down to work here, it
was like beginning a over lesson
learned long ago. b used to go around
the executive departments seeking in
formation for my constituents and
writing letters to them, but, after be-
ing out of congress for several years,
/ had to break myself in again like
a new man. OF course, it was easier
for me than for one, who had never
been in the harness before, but, never
theless, it was a. new work. But it
is natural and enjoyable, now.
tBy the way" he continued, II gave
the 10 the first public intirnation
that 1 would retire from congress. At
that time I was fully; persuaded that I
was retiring to private life. A poor
man cannot support a family here, at
tend to his work, be obliged to go
through the experience of securing
a denomination and reelection every
two years, and save anything out of
his salary. So 1 concluded to retire.

those who have a right to see him can
find him there. The other committee
rooms are up ins the main body
of the building, SO that there is no pri-

however, that the big army of office
seekers will find Nelson and work him
for all he is worth. The coming crowd
