Flags of All Nations.

It is fitting that at all great indus trial expositions the flags of various na- tions should be thrown to the breeze, and it is particularly fitting, in connec- ton with the National Export exposi- ton and international commercial con gress, at Philadelphia, that the man. agement of these big enterprises have invited foreign powers to send their national standards for place upon the ramparts of the magnificent buildings.
 Going still further, the exposition management has invited the great trade and transportation companies of this country and abroad to display their pennants and burgess alongside the flags of their several governments.
 The Spanish ensign, adjoining the stars and stripes will demonstrate that the war is over-and the German flag flying beside "old glory" will indicate. notwithstanding hints to the contrary, that our nation is at peace with the German Fatherland.

lowship from his victor. Paret is now higher in the tennis world than ever before.
 Former Champion Bob" Wrenn told me the other day that he had begun to think that Champion Whitman played q game that would win every time from such players as were prominent when he held the title, and even previous to 1897. "Whitman's tennis is sensation al, said MT. Wrenn. That player could go through the season without being beaten is really ereditable, for a player is bound to find himself off his game at some time. Whitman deserves credit for working np his own game. In two years he has put the status of the game where it will bother many players to follow.
 "There is q decided revival of inter- est in tennis. I think that the coming of the English players will be of great benefit. Last season golf distracted d great deal of attention from the tour naments. Golf will run well alongside of tennis it will continue to be a very popular game, but tennis is destined to be more popular than ever. There is room enough for both games. As for myself, the war left me with so much malaria that I fear I will never be able to put up good game again. Another thing, let me add, that gave tennis much eclat this season was the return of the old timers, the Huntingtons, Campbell, Slocum, etc"
 When William Dana orcutt asked the expert players of the country for opin- ions offering suggestions for eneour- aging interelub matches he received a very courteous reply from Clarence Ho- bart, who has been winning tennis hon ors abroad. individual prizes of small value might stimulate interest in these competitions" said Hobart.

You know, from what I'd heard of this game and readin' the Jokes in the funny papers 1 thought it was something like eroquet. 1 thought it was good game for cripples and old women, but not worth while for husky boy like me. l can play fair game of baseball, and l claim to be purity handy with my lunch hooks.

 How in the world did you ever hap pen to play golf?9 inquired. You're 'the last person i'll the world that I'd suspect of taking up with any kind of a society fad
 "Fhe prof. was to blame" replied Billy. Hes been a member of that new club since last spring. He read all the books about the game, and then he started in and practiced about three days a week. They say it's just like the opium habit when it gets hold on you. You can't stop. Just the same, don't think it'll get any hold on your little Willie boy. But l started to tell you. Day before yesterday I drove the prof. out to the club grounds and was about to turn around and come back home when he yelled at me and said he wanted me to be his 'caddie. didn't know what he meant at first. but 1t seems that a eaddie is the kid that carries the clubs you use when you swipe the ball. The kids out at the club had gone on n strike for more coin, and so l had to follow the prof. and carry these clubs for him. You see, when man starts out to play this game he needs more tools than burglar takes with him when he blows a safe. Every one of these clubs has different name and if you don't know the names of these clubs and the other lingo they use out there at the club you'd think a man was talllin' dago. Anyway, I carried the bag full of clubs and followed prof. lie started out by putting the ball on top of little pile of sand about the size of wart and then he pulled off and give 1t wallop, sendin' it about 30o feet''
 We followed the ball, and when we came ID to it, he picked out another kind of club and gave the ball another smash, and then we followed it up again. Then he knocked the ball in the air and sent it over a high ridge, and purity soon we came to square place where the grass was cut short, and in the middle of this patch was a little hole with a red flag sticlan' up out of it. The prof. knocked the ball over close to the hole, and then he exchanged clubs and scoaxed the thing until lie put it down into this place. about the size of Yest-poeket. He says: I made that one ia six, and with that he pulled out a card and put down his score. Well, holy mackerel, is that all there

than singIes, think. Many players are averse to risking their regulations at singles unless the game seems to them to be worth the candle. In England doubles are played far oftener than singles in interelub matches"
 W. s. Bond suggests that the distance between eastern and western clubs practically preeludes interclub matches. Clubs that are near to each other might enter interclub leagues and greatly in- crease the interest in the game.
 J. Parmly Paret says that we might do we'll to initiate the English with our interclub and interstate matches. There is no formidable reason, he adds, why intercity matches, as contests between Washington and Philadelphia, Boston and New York, etc, should not be played. Chicago might play other cities of the middle west and then send its team east to the Newport champion ships and there meet the winner among the eastern teams for the final match. Northern and southern California have their matches. Intersectional and inter- city matches would prove to be of in- calculable benefit to tennis.
 If ex-Champion II. $. Mahony, of Eng land, comes to this country again with W. V. Raves he will be assured a great welcome. At the famous invitation tourney of the Wyandotte tourney Ma hony was the lion of the hour. Mahony has gained friends by his vigorous de- mand that the net-cord stroke be re- moved from the game. There are players who think that they can hit the net cord when they wish" says Ma hony. 'sThey hint this. say that if they had sufficient command of the ball to hit the net cord so that the ball would dribble over it would be totally unnecessary to do so; they could win with ease. against anyone playing the ordinary game. The element of luck is more insignificant in tennis than in any other ball game. Why not remove the anomaly of the net stroke?"

of the grass court or the skinned dia- mond" of the National Baseball league. Whitman stood in the sunlight at the Casino at Newport-what lot of shat tered hopes and realized ambitions that place brings to the minds of the long roll of tennis men-and bowed low to the applauding hundreds with stately grace that he is perfectly able to main tain. Playing throughout the season, meeting the best of the young players and the veterans who thought the lot Bsery had something besides blank for them, Whitman came out,of the ordeal without a defeat Paret is one of the lew that can boast of having taken q set from the champion. L. E. Ware was particularly unfortunate i'll his matches with Whitman, for the latter deprived him of the Bay state championship and fhe Canadian championship, as we'll as defeating him in the final round at Southampton.
