TENNIS CLUBS GAMES.
Tournament on Saturday on the
Glenwood Avenue Grounds.


The Jersey City Tennis Club held a
ournamen in which its crack. players
took part on Saturday afternoon, at the
grounds of the club on Glenwood avenue.
Owing to the warm weather and the
threatening storm only -four of the six
teams booked for the tournament arrived
at the grounds. although the game was
delayed fully half an hour in the vain
hope of seeing the absentees. At about
three o'clock, however, the game began.
The contest was close and exciting and
met with much cheering from those who
went to witness and to criticize.
Two courts were used and three games
were played, Messrs. Walter B. Eager and
Edward Van Wrinkle carrying off the
honors on q scratch. Next anne Messrs.
Edward Watson p. Mclaughlin. also
on a scratch; then Messrs. Charles Meyers
and D. Schenck, winning by six points:
and last Messrs. R.. P. Schenck and
Eugene Batchelar.
The tournament ended Just in time to
escape the storm. several of the members
finding it necessary to take shelter in the
club house until the rain had ceased.
The grounds of the Tennis Club are now
in excellent condition, and everything is
in readiness for very good work during
summer.
There will probably be a meeting before
long, though owing to the fact that Mon
day will be a holiday, nothing either in
the way of meeting or game will be done
next Saturday. as so many of the club
intend to spend the Fourth out of town,
leaving the city on July 2. The club,
however, is not discouraged even at the
thought of losing Saturdays practice. and
still anticipates the exciting pleasure Of
beating the Bergen Tennis Club before
the season closes, to celebrate which
event it will give a tea.

a passing locomotive are supposed to have
caused the destruction Of the old struc-

Roadway before they were discovered,
and an alram was sent in. The firemen
found the hydrant in that vicinity In poor
condition, and were greatly handicapped
in their efforts to subdue the Games.
The crowd that gathered around the
scene of confiagatien must nave lumber

very sorry to see the historical old
bridge swept away by the fire. For more
two hours the structure burned,
and every time a portion fell into the cut.
the crowd cheered. Several coal cars
which We're standing beneath the bridge
caught fire, but were e~xtinguished before
any damage was done. The fire inter-
fered with traffic over the main tracks,
and trains going west were run over the
Newark branch for an hour or SO. The
fire only FASTENED the demolition of the
bridge a few days, as the railroad was
preparing to tear it down and build a
new one, having been given permission.

Divorce From His Wife.

c. Oscar Martinson, of No. 1S2 Avenue
D. Bayonne, has filed a suit for 1;vorce
against his wife Judith Mary, and if the
allegations in the bill be true the hearing
of the suit in the Court Of Chalaery
