 as a wonderful tennis player. She has been not only national but interna-
 tional champion; she has defeated some
 of the best players of this country and | Canada. She held the national cham pionship two ysars ago, but lost it last
 year to Miss Bessie Moore This year 1 she has been supreme in her class. She
 has held all the big championships con 1 tended for until now. But alas, Miss | Pound. of the universities of Chicago
 and Nebraska. defeated Miss Atkinson
 on Monday last, and now holds the ten-
 his championship of the United States. This was a surprising defeat to the friends of the fair Brooklyn girl, Miss
 Atkinson does not look at all like an
 athletic girl she is something of an
 anomaly. She is slight and delicate
 looking. with a complexion which do=s
 not even flush with violent exercise.
 She is stM young, but for years has
 been a marvellous tennis player.
