towns through which these men travel have
many inhabitants who praise them aid tell of
their skill, but they also contain many people
whose eyes have been injured by the travelling
eye doctor. one of the most successful of this
class of pedlers was a Hungarian whose route
was along the line of the NcW-HOrk Central
Railroad. He was a burly of education,
who wore many diamonds, but was exceedingly
careless as to his linen and the condition of

THIS YEARS TENNIS.
THE PLAYERS CLASSED ACCORDING TO
THE OPINIONS OF AN EXPERT.

Not till the winters frost comes in real ear
nest will the lawn tennis players retire into
winter quarters; but though the local grounds
all kept open and in use during these
Indian summer days the tournament season
has passed into history. Among the tour
nament players the year has been the most sue
cessful they have enjoyed for almost a decade.
Primarily the renewed interest in the game had
much to do with this, but chiefly the nterna-
tier al matches and their attendant successes
were responsible for this feeling Of satisfaction.
Never in the history of lawn tennis hav-
English or American players scored complete
Il victory over their visiting cousins that
which delighted the hearts Of the American
thusiastS last summer.
The official recognition by the English Lawn
Tennis Association of the Davis InteEna tional
Challenge Cup representing the internal
tic nal championship of the world places this
trophy the same level with the
Americas Cup. and already there are init
motions of another challenge next season for
the new trophy. with a still str niger team 10
be sent here to lift it-this time th-
best that England can produce, for the Doherty
brothers it is reported, will head the chal
longing delegation.
Aside from the expected challenge and the
coming Of another British team. there viii prob
ably be another OF international skill abroad
next season. Embodened 10y their success of
the passing season, u. +. Davis. the donor of
the new trophy, and Holcombe Ward, who to-
gether hold the American championship in
doubles, will probably play at Wimbledon next
June for the English championship. both in
singles and doubles. There is also a chance that
W. A. Larned may so abroad as we'll, and
should no English team come over to play in
America Whitman may also play in some of
the English tournaments later in the season
Davis is in England now, hut ne expects to re-
turn early in the winter ana to go back again
before spring. Ward will probably join him two
or three weeks before the championship meeting
takes place
In reviewing the season just ended, the fail
ure of the Englshmen to win single match of
Importance makes it impossible 10 rank them
among the American leaders for the year as is
customary. Their showing does not entitle them
to be considered first class in America and it is
certain that both Gore and Black are first class
at home Any attempt to put them where they
seem to belong here would be distinctly often
sive, so their names will unquestionabIv be
omitted when the official ranking appears this
winter Their reversal of form was probably
due to Overconfdence, the eneryating effects of

PERIPATETIC "OCULISTS."
THE SUCCESSOR OF THE PEDLER AND
THE QUACKERY HE PRACTISES.

improvements in transportation, the mail
order system in the department stores and the
ambition on the part of the country store to
keep abreast of the city establishments have
almost destroyed the pediers occupation.
Many of the men who had regular routes
which took them weeks to cover with their
wagon load Of general merchandise have be-
come local merchants. and the basket men who
used to visit the houses in the suburbs of large
towns have been crowded out by the trolley
cars In the New England villages. which once
depended to a great extent these pedlers

who buys seconds from the underwear fac
tories the rat trap and hardware man the

lodging, has become memory.
But since his departure from the scene new
character has made his appearance in the form
of the oculist, and he is doing a large business,
in some instances to the detriment of the eyes
of those who patroniZe him. The older men in
this line were once J"Wclry pedlers, and eye
glasses formed only a part of their stock. They
carried rings, earrings, watches, shirt buttons
and gold and silver trnkets Of all kinds, and
those who good statesmen often Induced

elry box was an expensive investment, and it
took more money to rcplenish ii than the bust
would justify. and one after another of
the pedlers substituted for it equally large
box of eyeglasses and made the sa!a of these
articles his occupation. Some of the pedlers
found the business Improbable, and left the
road but many who were gifted takers and
who had the quality of humbug we'll developed
had DR. or "ProfessOr' preiXed to their
name on their business cards, and established
routes over hich they travelled adjusting
glasses and selling eye washes. Many of these
