annual tennis tournament Of the Bache-
lors' Tennis Club Of Washington for the
District championship. The games are be-
ing played on the courts of the club, at
18th and N streets northwest. The at
tendance was not very large yesterday,
owing to 1t being the start off Of the tour
ney, but. Notwithstanding. there was quite
a large gathering of ladies, who were en-
thusiastic over the clever playing Of favor
ties in the different matches. The list of
entries is very large, and the indications
are that very successful tournament will
result.

finest order. and 1t was owing to the fact
that all the contests were stubbornly
fought that prevented the completion of the
first and second preliminary rounds in the

COUNCIL. MEETING
Decision Reached in the Wat
ervi|Ie Election Contest.
Cyrus W. Davis, Democratic Candi-
date, Entitled to Seat.
The Case vii! Probably Now Go Before Lcgs-
!ature on Appeal

At the special meeting of the Execu-
yesterday afternoon, a decision was
given in the Waterville election case
which was argued at the meeting held
Nov. rs. to the effect that Cyrus w.
Davis of Waterville was elected to A
seat in the Maine Legislature by plu-
rality of all the votes returned as cast
in the city of Waterville, held in Sep
TENDER. and is entitled to receive
summons accordingly.
Il is understood that Mr. Eaton.
through his attorney will appeal from
the decision and that it will be a mat
ter for the coming Legislature to de-
eide.
This case has been before the public
50 long and has Attracted so general
an interest thar detailed explanation
is unnecessary. Harvey ID. Ea ton. the
Republican candidate for representa-
tive from Waterville. and Cyrus w.
Davis. the Democratic candidate. both
claimed that they were legally elected
to the seat in the Legislature. Hon.
Orville ID. Baker of this city, was the
attorney for Mr.. Eaton. and Hon. Her
bert NJ. Heath w2s counsel for Mr.
Davis.
The question. at issue was whether o.
not number of votes alleged to be de-
fective. should be counted in making
the returns Mr.. Davis attorney claim
ed that if only these votes We're count
ed which bore the full name of the
candidates. Harvey d. Eaton and Cy-
rus w. Davis. then Mr.. Eaton had
NJ
ing the former a majority of one vote.
But is the intention of the voters was
considered and the names Of Cyrus
Davis c. w. Davis and c. Davis were
counted in with Cyrus w. Davis. Mr..
Davis would have ma jority of seven
votes over those cast for Harvey d.
Eaton and II. D. Eaton. Mr.. Baker
claimed that the votes were the real
records. and that the town clerks re-
turns could not be considered as such
and that enough votes We're defective
to lose the election for Mr.. Davis.
In the absence Of Gov. Powers. who
is in Washington. Chairman Henry W.
Mayo of Camden. presided at the meet
ing. A number of nominations. recent
" published in the Journal, were con-
firmed and an order was passed to
have bound 100 copies of the report of
the Industrial School for Girls at Hal
lowell Other routine business of no
particular significance was transacted.
The meeting was of exceedingly short
duration.
