FOUR VERY BRILLIANT SETS
LEAVE AMERICAS CHAMPION

Results Of Games Played on National
League Diamonds-Races at
Aqueduct Park
Associated Press Special Wire.

BOSTON. July 27.-One of the most
Interesting tennis matches ever seen was
played this afternoon in the tournament
of the Longwood Cricket club at Long
wood, and resulted in a victory for the
American expert over his British oppo-
nent after four brilliant sets had been
played.
w. A. Larned of Summit, N. j., de-
feated the former English champion
Harry s. Mahoney.
Play started with Larned serving, and
an out, a pass, a net and a pass gave him
the game in short order.
Mahoney took the next game through
errors by Larned, and followed it up with
four more games in succession, making
the score 81. Then Larned took brace
and put four games to his credit, max
ing it five in all. Here he fell off badly in
his play, driving into the net or out OF
court so that Mahoney had no trouble
in taking the set, 10
Larned got the first game in the sec
ond set, but the next went to Mahoney
and then for a while 1t was nip and tuck
until it was two games in ALL Then
Larned started off at terrific pace
passing Mahoney repeatedly and plac-
ing the balls well out of reach, with a
speed that was simply marvellous He
gave Mahoney just one more game In
this set.
Larned started the third set with the
intention of doing up the Britisher. Ma
honey was absolutely unable to return
his lightning-like drives. and while
fighting manfully against the match
less tennis player of America, was at last
forced to give it up, and the third sci
went to the Summit man, So.
After such a terrific pace the fourth
set was a farce, and the American
rounded out the set and match with hall
a. dozen brilliant plays.

Need More Reforming

JACKSON, Cal, July 27.-James
Quinn and William Downey, inmates of
the Preston reform school, have pleaded
guilty to a charge of arson in attempt
ing to fire the school. They saturated
rags with coal oil, placed them in the
bottom of an elevator shaft and struck
a lighted match in them. The plot was
discovered in time to prevent serious
damage. A few seconds more would
have sufficed to start disastrous blaze.
The boys are about 10 years old. Quinn
was sentenced to five years and Dewey
to six years in Folsom. They were taken
there today

horse was regarded as fair margin in
handling them.
Horses of all sorts, which lacked the
qualities of speed, beauty, or youth, but
possessed the other requirements, were
quickly sorted out from the markets Of
the whole country, and every big dealer
was always able to gather droves of car
horses as fast as the companies needed
them. The trolley has superseded the
car horses and car horses are no longer
quoted as staples in the market The
companies which still use them are
obliged to go out and search the nlarts
and buy them one by one, instead OF
simply sending an order for 100 or 200 or
500 and getting them as readily as they
would so many loads of grain or hay.

STYLES for Children

The knockabout suits for both sexee
are generally devoid of trimming; il
any at all is used, it is linen braid in the
plain or waved effects.
The afternoon gowns of muslin or
filmy goods for little women show more
ornamentation and are trimmed with
bebe ribbon run through beading, lace,
filmy embroidery, and are further
adorned with wide epaulet frills.
Sailor suits in the different designs
that distinguish the boys and girls are
particularly nice. They look well, are
cool and comfortable and are worn A.
much by girls as boys, either in wash
material for warm days or in flannel or
any suitable wooden fabric for ooler
weather.
Certainly there never seemed great-'
err range Of materials to choose from
suitable and becoming to the small fry.
There are, any number of pretty pat-
terms and an infinite variety of color.
fngs Linen grenadine. galatea, pique.
twilled linen, batiste and chambray, all
launder well and are much used.
