Prohibition Rally at Brookings.

master of ceremonies. Having
been a democrat for years the gen.
tleman was at perfect ease in ad-
dressing his former colleagues and
the way he poured the hot soup
for a time into unwashed dem
ocracy was enough to scald hog.
Of course the republicans were in
high glee while this was
going on but when Mr.. Stewart
turned his attention to them and
roasted their beloved president to
a standstill and the "rotten" party
in general, it wasn't SO funny and
sunshine returned to the faces of
the democrats. Even the popu-
lists didn't escape their share of
the good things dished up by this
speaker. But his closing descrip-
ton of Mr.. Woolley's itinerary
brought down the house. As he
said, eff this is not campaign, it
is the best imitation of one that /
ever saw" a perfect howl Of de-
light went up from the vast aud
fence and the speaker and John G.
Woolley were cheered to the echo.

Oliver w. Stewart, of Chicago,
chairman of the prohibition ma
tional committee who, he said,
would act as master of ceremonies
during the balance of the evening
meeting. Mr.. Stewart, after a few
preliminary remarks, introduced
Henry b. Metcalf, candidate for
vice president, who addressed the
audience for only few minutes
and was followed by Samuel
Dickey, editor of the New York
Voice. Mr.. Dickey proved to be
quite a talker and made some tell
ing points against the old parties.
John G. Woolley, candidate for
president, was then introduced by
Mr.. Stewart, but made no ex-
tended argument. Mr.. Wolley
has appeared several times in
Brookings before large audiences
and preferred to let former i'm
pressions of himself stand, conse-
quently he soon gave way to the
speakers that followed. B. b.
Haugen, of Fergus Falls, candi-
date for governor Of Minnesota,
then extended greetings from our
sister state, spoke words of encour-
agement and made a short ples
for votes. His talk was well re-
ceived.
Volney B. Gushing, from the
state of Maine, then entertained
the large audience for about
thirty minutes with some good
stories, well told, and most of
which had their point Mr.. Cush-
ing kept his audience convulsed
with laughter and made some good
hits.
The closing speech is admitted
by all to have been crack "a jack
and was delivered by Mr.. Stewart,

Brookings has again been hon.
ored by visit from a presidential
party. John G. Woolley and his
special train of distinguished
guests rolled into the North West
ern yards ahead of time Monday
evening and were greeted by at
least couple of thousand enthus-
iastic people.
Carriages were in waiting and
the visitors were at once whirled
to the court house park, where a
large tent, capable of holding
three thousand people, had been
erected to accommodate the crowd.
There were no bands of music, no
procession, and the only pyrotech-
MICS displayed were inside the big
tent after the speaking had begun.
The old line partizans-republi-
cans, democrats and populists- -
will tell you that sparks few in all
directions as the speakers got
warmed up to the occasion.
As at the Roosevelt meeting, the
band stand was utilized as a speak
ers' platform. 1t had been decor
ated with bunting and incandes-
cent lamps until the whole was re-
splendent with patriotic colors,
while a large field of Old Glory
had been set to shine as a back
ground to the inspiring scene.
The prohlbitionists have every
reason to feel proud over the sue
cess of their meeting in this city
Monday night. The day had op-
ened with a cold, drizzling rain

ENGLISH PLAYERS AT BOSTON.
ALL READY FOR THE INTERNATIONAL
CONTESTS TODAY At LoNGMOoD

Boston. Aug. (SpeciaD.--A. W. Gore f. D.
Black and H r. Barrett, the English tennis
players selected to play Whitman. Ward and
Davis for the international Challenge Bowl,
rived here this morning from a trip to Niagara
with O. II. Campbell, eX-champion Of America.
The Englshmen appeared the Longwood
courts this afternoon for practice, and no one
would have thought from their hard snappy
game that they had spent the last ten days in
travel. Gore is the embodiment of the tradi-
tional base line game which has characterized
the best English players of the last decade. He
seldom runs to the net, and never volleys by
choice The others like the best American
players play from the base line way up to the
net and volley beautifully.
The chief weakness of the Americans is that
they control their volley poorly. frequently go
ing into the net or out of court. The first
matches in singles for the Davis bowl will he
played tomorrow afternoon. Champion Whit
man will play Gore who is the strongest of the
visitors and probably second to English player
in the long run. Dwight Davis will first meet
Black Wednesday afternoon Ward and Davis
will play Black and Barrett in doubles, and on
Thursday the final matches in singles, Davis VS..
Gore and Whitman Black. will be played.
If the English players are successful the Eng
lish Lawn Tennis Association will have the Gus
tody of the trophy and the competition will
take place in England next year.
According to the best English authority the
visiting team is the strongest that could be Sc
lected and there is a feeling of confidence
the other side that they will win. On the other
hand, sentiment here is that the Americans will
keen the trophy in this country Whitman is
regarded is almost invincible Dwight Davis is
the most brilliant player that the game here has
produced although less reliable than the cham
pion. while he and Ward seem to have devel-
oped the double game well nigh to perfection.
Three times before leading English players have
competed in great tennisaevents here but this is
the first time that team officially representing
the English association has come over.
