THE HANDBALL COURTS.
Two Great Games in Which Champions

Four teams of handball giants met in the

and contended for supremacy. The court
was crowded to suffocation, and large
number of enthusiasts climbed to the roof
and viewed the games from their lofty
perch.
M. ]. Kilgallon, the Denver champion,
and James Nealon played against P. 7.
Donnelly, the amateur champion, and T.
F. Bonnet. For the first time Donnelly
and Bonnet had their colors lowered, and
their long record of victories has been
broken. They won the first game. but
Kilgallon and Nealon won the next three
games in great style amid the cheers of
the spectators.
The other game was between ]. Jones,
the Australian champion, and J. Lawless
and j. Harlow, the coast champion, and
John Rlordan. Jones has been absent
from the City for two or three months and
his temperance in the court was the oc-
casion for an ovation. In his playing he
showed the want of practice, and ne and
his partner were defeated by three games
to one. Riordan's service was great, and
he has seldom been seen in better FORM

Harlow and Riordan to play return
match on Wednesday night for $50 side,
which was as promptly accepted.
