The annual international tennis tourna-
ment at Niagara, Ont, ended yesterday,
with the finals Of the mems handicap sim
gles The tournament was the largest on
record, there being no less than 104 match
es in all the events. The tennis has been
of high order, and the interest from the
spectators most keen from beginning to
end.
In yesterdays match Sumner Hardy OF
Leland Stanford University, was thought to
have a sure thing over the Princeton crack.
F. B. Alexander, only half fifteen. But
Alexander's speedy forehand drives fell
within the lines often enough to keep Hardy
on the jump and eventually win the match.
In the first set Alexander played very fast
tennis, and outplayed Hardy even, but in
the second he fell Off somewhat, and won
only a deuce set. AS the players had to
catch the Lake Ontario boat the match had
been curtailed to two out of three sets, and
Alexander thus wins the handicap. Several

broken in the second race at the Bright
wood track yesterday afternoon. Baron
Wood covered the distance in 2.17A, beat
ing out Bursar by head. This race was
marked by a mishap also. Colin Steele Of
Norfolk, the driver of Clandon, while max
ing the turn beyond the three-furlong post
in the second heat was upset and thrown
to the track. The horse started on gallop
after the others, with the remnants of his
harness trailing, and came under the wire
ahead of the field. Steele was injured
about the hip and badly shaken up, but no
bones were broken. He was rescued from
his perilous position and was able to walk
away with assistance Clandon meanwhile
ran twice around the track before being
caught. The incident was a thoroughly ex-
citing one.
