LoNGW WOOD TENNIS TOURNAMENT.
Good Progress Made at She Play AL
 though Rain Interfered.

Boston, July 27.-The tennis tourna- ment at Longwood made good progress to-day, although rain again interfered with the play and prevented the conl- pletion of the third round in the sin-
 gles. Again the day was marked by few surprises, and with one exception the favorites won. Leo Ware, who with
 Sheldon of Yale successfully prevented the championship in doubles from go- ing to England in 1897, was the first of the really strong men to meet defeat but his match with J. F. Paret of New York was so fiercely fought that it prov ed the feature of the day. Paret played dashing game through out The match was really question of endurance, for the sun was very hot and over three hours of hard play was heavy drag, and Paret won probably as much on his form physically as by his accurate work at the net and along the side ines In one of the games deuce was called no less than ten times before Ware won the necessary two points. This rally, which practically won for him this set and carried him through to an apparently safe lead in the fourth set led his Brookline follow CTS to believe that he would win out, but the pace was too fast under the terrific heat and he at last succumbed to his opponent.
 Another feature of the day was the reappearance of, the old pair, o. S Campbell and R. P. Huntington, who won their first match in the doubles against Paret and Davidson i'll straight sets. Campbell played with much of his old-time brilliancy,

TWO TRANSFERS GRANTED By the Board of Finance Yesterday Al
 tcrnOOn- Other Business.

The board of finance held a regular meeting yesterday afternoon and sev- eral matters of interest came up for &C., ton. In the batch of bills to be signed was one from Lamp Inspector Cafferty for his salary for the month of July.
 In view of the injunction issued to re-
 strain the controller from paying MT.
 Cafferty'S salary until after the quo
 Warranto proceedings brought by MT. Hopkins, his predecessor, are settled, it
 was decided to table the bill and it was not approved.
 Some discussion was held as to the proper custodian of the funds appro- priated for the public library. Control Ter Rowe reported that he had been in- formed by Treasurer Winchell of the public library that he had deposited the fund with ex-City Treasurer Mersick at the Merchants bank. Mr. Rowe stated that the fund had not been turned over to Treasurer Fresenus probably because of an oversight. The board decided to instruct MT. Fresenius to request that the fund be turned over to him.
 Two requests for transfers were be- fore the board. One was from Superin- tendent Spier of the department of char ities and correction for the transfer of S1 000 from the account for outside poor to the special account in his depart ment, the amount being needed to pay for the completion of some plumbing work begun at Sprngside. Controller Rowe asked for the transfer of $7O0 from the contingent fund to the station ary account. Both transfers were granted.
 The payrolls and bills were signed. Among the bills were two in addition to MT Cafferty's which were not ap- proved One of these was from F. Brazos & Son for $60 and the other from Halsted & Harmount for $3S. These bills were not approved by Director Troup because there were no funds to pay the bills when they were contract ed. The board of finance recalled the bills from the controllers office and ta- bled them.
 A communication was received from Sewer Inspector John Pigott asking that his salary be increased from $l,5oo per year to $1,S00 The communication was tabled.

orado output is we'll maintained, in
spite OF the severe winter, while Cali
fornia has the abundant supply of wa
ter which has been lacking for years
past, so that the mines of that state will
probably do much better than last year.
Good reports come from the other pro-
ducng states of the Rocky Mountains,
and something may be expected from
the new districts in Washington, which
are being actively exploited.
''Siver production may show set
back from the extraordinary storms of
the winter, which have for three months
stopped work at Leadville and elsewhere
in Colorado, and from the troubles in the
Occur d'Alene. Probably the falling off
will not be very great however. At least
part of it may be made up later In the
