here Frias was the President OF the Cuban

ity laws In favor OF Spain. and no expedition
could start from Santo Domingo for Cuba.
Frias then Joined JiminsE's party and began
conspiring against Heureaux. The friendship
between Frias and Jimines became very close.
Jiminez had offered Frias place In his cab

THE TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP.

A notable revival Of interest In one OF the
most difficult and exacting Of American outdoor
sports Is Indicated 10 the success which has al
tended this years competition for the National
championship In lawn tennis. For several sea
sons past the rapid poPularization Of golf has
seemed 70 threaten the vogue long enjoyed py
tennis as one Of the most wholesome and invit-
ing forms Of athletic rivalry. But the very dis
s,nn,,a- attractions Of the two games, and the
very opposite physical aptitudes which they de-
uand have quickly demonstrated that each mas
q future distinctly IS own, and that the one can
retain and even enlarge us circle OF devotees
without infringing seriously upon the prestige
and popularity OF the other. Certainly the sea
son Of 1899 shows that the counter attractions
OF golf have not weakened the fascinatlons OF
tered by tennis as a game requiring exceptional
skill accuracy and endurance: while the aver
age ability disclosed in this years tournaments
has clearly carried the latter sport 10 level OF
performance Il had never touched IN the Gays
when II reigned alone as the most select ana
fashionable Of athletic diversions
The National tournament furnished no sur
prise a, Newport last week when II confirmed
the title 70 the championship OF NJ ID " hltman
, This young Harvard player seems 10 stand IN
class OF his own among AHeflcdH teADIs e
perts Entering all Of the more important o,
! this years tournaments, he has never once SUI
| fered defeat In no case even has he been act
ually hard pressed by An opponent Defeating
Larned az Orange, Davis az Longwood Ware il
| Canada and at Southampton and Paret az New
/ port. he holds now every championship FOL
which he made a contest. His play has been re
markably consistent and even, adapting itsel
to the weaknesses OF each successive opp0nen
and showing none OF those erratic streaks whici
have often marred the work Of the older "on'
stroke" school Of American players. Exper
opinion is Justly unanimous that the champion
Of 1895 and 1899 could easily bold his owl
against the best performances OF the more note
earlier champions. like r. d. Wrenn. +. II
Hovey, Sears or Campbell
The season Just ended demonstrates afresl
that youthful vitality and nerves tell more thai
any other factors In so driving q competition a
that OF the tennis courts. Few American players
81 least, seem able 10 maintain their top form
into the thirties. and the more conspicuon
honors have gone this year at Newport an
elsewhere 10 men barely into their twentie.
