was of character and size BETTING its
Importance. Never before was there seen
on the Casino courts such crowd. not even
three years ago, when Wrenn defeated
Goodbody, another foreign challenger, I'M
der circumstances similar to those of to-
day. Everybody interested in tennis re-
nembered how then, after all the others
had gone down, the champion stood firmly
against the all-conquerng Irishnan.
Everybody hoped and majority believed
that he could do the same thing again this
year, and everybody wanted to see it done.
So an hour before the game began many
chairs about the court were already occu-
pied Half an hour later spectators were
lined three and four deep on three sides,
with few seats taken on the grand stand.
Still the crowds continued to surge across
the la wn until seats were at premium, as
high as s. being offered for a single chair.
Every point which afforded even a partial
view. of the court was occupied. Men were
perched in trees, others stood on boxes,
barrels or stepla dders, while even the fences
served a vantage ground for the small
boys. The weather was. like the match and
the attendance. of the finest. a cool breeze
blowing and the sun shining from an al
most unclouded sky.

OWLS AS TELEGRAPHERS.
From The Philadelphia Times.

From The Philadelphia Times
A pair Of big horned owls were nightly visitors
to Shreveport. La, during the summer and for
the space OF six or eight weeks made things
lively in electric circles. heir favorite haunts
seemed to be down in the lower streets near the
bayou. and during the evenings they might have
lamps. catching the big bugs that congrcgate in
great numbers nightly.
Down at the big cottonsecd oil mills these owls
caused some trouble that might have resulted
seriously for OF the employees had not the
birds fundamentally in the matter been dis
covered in time. The affair happened this way:
The night Waterman at the mills who SUPER
vises the big yards and buildings. is required to
make the rounds after a regular schedule visit
ing ten different stations during the night, forty
minutes OF time being allowed between the visits,
and must signal his presence at these various
points by touching an electric button. which reg
listers the time and station upon dial plate in
the office. Ii transpired that the clerk whose BUSH
ness il is to inspect this dial plate each morning
found repeatedly during the summer irregulari-
ties In the register that led him To believe the
Waterman had slept at his post. and afterward
sent false signals. Something was decidedly
wrong. and after one or two nights the clerk
informed the manager. and they concluded to
main in the office over night To investigate the
matter. The Waterman seemed to be faithfully
making his rounds and the frst and second Sig-
nails came all right
Presently there was a scratching and scram-
bling over the big scales and up on the weighing
shcd lust without the Office window. and three
great gray rats clambeced up to the big insu-
lated electric wire and set out with the agility
of the most accomplished tight rope walker to
make the aerial transit to the mill building
across the yard.
Rats" said the manager facetlously. as he
turned to examine the register. But 1t was
all straight; the rodents were going rapidly but
too lightly to twaDg the wire.
There they arc!" called the clerk and on the
moment a couple Of big owls swooped down out
OF the darkness each selling rat and twanging
the wire Justify with their big wings click!
click" went the register. and the owls stood ac-
cused and the Waterman was cleared.
The manager told him OF the episode the next
morning and the old man laughed about II and
seemed to feel that somehow the ominous birds
had impeached his honor SO that night' arm
ing himself with a gum and choosing an auspi-
cious moment ne shot one OF the owls.
For a whole week thereafter the other bird
haunted the mlyard. by some chance eluding
the watchman's rife. but making the night hide,
ons with his plants. Finally. one night. the old
man saw the owl tapping and hying about In
a frantic manner. beating his wings against
every wire in the yard. Suddenly he struck
live electric light wire. and dropped dead at the
watchman's feet. The old man declares thst
the bird committed suicide In desperation at the
loss Of bis mate.
