The Crack Tennis Player Talks OF His
Experience Abroad.

The Crack Tennis Player Talks of His
Experience Abroad.
From the New York Tribune
Among the passengers on the Western
land. which reached this city yesterday
was ]. Parmly Pa,et, the American lawn
tennis player, who went abroad two
months ago to play in the English and
irish tournaments. Paret took part in
i've meetings while abroad and returned in
che middle of the season so as to defend
his claim to the championship of Maine at
Sorrento next week. and to play in the
championship meeting at Newport the
week after He left New York last night
for New Hampshire. to take part in the
Wentworth tournament.
Paret and Clarence Hobart both took part
in the big English championship tourna-
Inent at Wimbledon. The former was
beaten in the first round by sSimond. the
open champion of France, after an exciting
three-hour struggle, but Hobart had more
success than any other American player
who has ever entered abroad. He not only
cached the semi-fnal round in the singles,
hut in the doubles, partnered by Nisbet,
the English crack who played in America
last season, he captured first honors in
the all-comers contest, and was only
teaten for the championship after fine
struggle with the famous Doherty brothers.
Hobart also played in the northern cham
pionship tournament at Liverpool, where
he came through TO the final round OF the
ngieS Here he was beaten by H l.. DOH
erty, who also beat him at Wimbledon.
Paret played in several other tournaments
after the championship meetings with
varying fortunes His greatest success
was at Limerick, where he won the cham
ponship of the south of Ireland and ne
brings back with him the first foreign oh al
lenge cup ever won by an American lawn
t. mis- player.
In speaking of the relative skill of the
English and American cracks yesterday,
Paret said: The difference in climate
makes 1t very difficult TO compare our best
players with the British experts When
they come over here they do not show top
form and claim that our extreme heat
affects them. On the other side ! know
that their raw, chilly weather is as great
handicap to visiting Americans How
ever. l am inclined to think that our cou-
sins across the water still a Titles ahead
of u.s. Certainly they have many more
fire players than We have, and their gen.
eral average of skill is much higher

third set was a surprise, Whitman being
unable to get single game, although he

The Waiahole Guitar and Mandolin
Club played very pleasing selection.
which was enjoyed by all.

life on Hawaii, describing incidents of

sang, under the leadership OF Miss
Hamon.
After few remarks by the Presi-
dent Mr.. Richards was called upon and
spoke in regard to gathering a library
Of suitable books to be sent into the
small towns and villages throughout
the Islands. He said that during his
trip on Hawaii this last summer he
had noticed particularly the scarcity
of books among the natives and the
lack of anything to elevate or instruct
them during the evenings. He wished
that good books could be put into their
hands and that they would be made to
see their value.
Mr. F. w Damon being called upon,
spoke of the founding of two reading
rooms near the centre of Chinatown
and how much they were used by the
natives, and the good which had result
ed from this beginning and that he
wished it might be extended out into
the small villages throughout the
country. He was struck with the
great number of young people who had
nothing to do in the evenings. He
mad catalogues of good books that
could be purchased cheaply and were
specially adapted to young people. He
would be glad to cooperate with any
one for the furtherance of this object.
Mr.. King spoke of the difficulty in
selecting books adapted to young peo-
| pie. He had found this particularly sc
| in his school, but that some sort OF a
| library was necessary to every school
! but especially books with easy words
| and large type.
\ committee was appointed consist
| ing Of Mr.. Richards, Mrs. Coleman and
! MIR F. w. Damon, to look into the
matter further and see how much
could be actually done.

REVIVAL MEETINGS.
An American Evangelist EnrOute
Here From Japan.

Mr. G. G. Needham, a very success
full Christian worker, who has been
working in Japan for the past few

asking Rev. Mr.. Needham TO conduct
a series of meetings in the association

ed with association workers IN

prove a valuable man in starting a
wave of revival among the people OF
the city for things that are eternal.
General Secretary Coleman has the
working plan and a list of committees
necessary TO carry on such a work.
Any members of the association OF the
different churches who are willing to
help in this effort. please report 10 him
or their respective pastors. Mr.. Need
ham is expected on Tuesday and will
visit the different prayer meetings on
Wednesday evening for a few minutes
and the first meeting of the series will
be held at the association hall on
Thursday evening at 7:30 o'clock.
