Some Of the operators in the New

Of joy streaming down his face, while
in the Chicago Office there was surprise
because a girl was crying and smiling

When he recovered his equanimity,

to marry her distant lover. After many
more conversations on the wire it was
agreed that Hiss Davidson and o. Meara
should meet at q half way point, Pitts
burg being finally selected. where they
should be married. This course was
chosen in the hope that the consumma-
tion Of their peculiar courtship could
be accomplished secretly. thus avoiding
the good natured but embarrassing
chatting Of their fellow operators. s
But that wire on which they made
their arrangements ran through the
Pittsburg Office, where there were auto

ator standing beside the repeaters one
day overheard the final arrangements,
heard the description each gave the 9TH

Pittsburg operators. who therenpon de-
termined to make the occasion Of the
wedding interesting. A COMMITTEES was
appointed to watch the meeting Of the
couple and to prepare for reception.
O'Meara arrived at Pittsburg day
ahead of Miss Davidson, as had been
agreed upon, and was at the station ON

make $4,000 this year, which means that

too much for Sockalexis, and he took to

opening Games for the Southern Ten
mis- Championship.

The opening games In the thirteenth an
nual tennis tournament for the clarnpion-
snip of the south were played yesterday on
the courts of the Bachelors Club. on NJ
street between Connecticut avenue and 18th
street. Although the games al the opening
OF the tournament are not regarded as i'm
portant at least from the standpoint of the
average spectator. still there was a good
attendance, and the benches along the sides
OF the court Were we'll occupied.
The ladies displayed their interest bv
their presence. and altogether the tourna-
ment began under much more encouraging
auspices than have been the case for some
years past. This is true not only from the
standpoint of attendance, but from the
playing. The revival of interest In tennis
has been one of the marked features during
the present season This Is shown by the
pressure for admission at the various clubs
ard by the attendance at the games 1t is
evident that those who were drawn off by
the fascination of bicycle riding and the
enthusiasm for golf are returning to their
allegiance to tennis.
The grounds Of the club were in excellent
condition, and all the arrangements for the
tournament, owing to the energy of DR.
Glazehrook, were admirably made The
opening games were in the singles, the win
ner in which is to play the holder of the
championship, Mr.. John C. Davidson. When
