his life this afternoon in the second round of tho
| Longwood tennis tournament, when he defeated
| Mahoney, the best OF the three English cracks

| ship, as upon 1t depended whether or not Amer
ica was TO have the runner up.
Tho game played by Larncd has mover been
equalled in this country. After the FIRST set,
which he lost on account Of nervousness he
settled down and completely outplayed the
Englishman, defeating him in the hollowest
fashion and earning every point no made.
| Whether at the not or the base line, either in
serving or receiving, the American was equally
at homo, and at no time did he show any ton.
dency to relapse into his peculiarly erratc style
OF play. His cross court drives and side line
