THE AMERICAN DOUBLE CHAMPIONS TO
PLAY FOR THE ENGLISH CHAMPIONSHIP.

THE AMERICAN DOUBLE CHAMPIONS TO
PLAY FOR THE ENGLISH CHAMPIONSHIP.
American lawn tennis players will be represent
ed in the English championship tournaments this
season by the American national champions in
doubles. Dwight F. Davis and Holcombe Ward.
Ward said yesterday that he would sail for Eng
land about June / and Join Davis there The latter
sailed on the Oceanic on April "a. and has already
arrived in England. Davis and Ward will enter
for both the singles and doubles in the All England
championship tournament at Wimbledon. near
London. and It Is also possible that they will play
IN two other English meetings together.
Davis also expects to enter a number of important
tournaments before Ward arrives probably incud-
ing the Irish championship tournament at Dublin
the last OF this month
The American champions will return home about
July 10. arriving here in time for ample practice
together before the international matches in Au-
gust. Their playing at Wimbledon will not in any
way affect the international matches which have
been already arranged for this season. although
their success abroad may tend to show in advance
what the American prospects are for a repetition
of last seasons victory the English chal-
lengers. 1t is expected that Davis and Ward will
meet the famous Doherty brothers. the English
champions in both singles and doubles while
over here at the head of tho challenging team, for
they recognized the leading English players
OF the day. Last seasons Waterloo has made the
Brtishers anxious to send only their best experts
this year
Local lawn tennis enthusiasts are hoping that
Davis and Ward will be able to show their true
Americans will be surprised If they do not come
very close TO winning the English championship in
doubles, although II is doubtful II either can
be expected to carry off any very high honors in
singles

Members OF the First Brigade will be pleased to
learn that Brigadier-General McCoskry Butt has
decided to offer cash prizes for marksman-
ship at Creedmoor in the hope that 1t will further
develop the progress in rife practice. Last year
the brigade made the best record in its history

this season. He has offered IS TO each member of
the 22d Regiment who qualities as an expert for
the first time and 81 TO each member OF the 9th
Regiment who qualities sharpshooter for the
first time. To the 18th Regiment General Butt has
decided to offer prize of $50, to be awarded the
company which shall qualify the greatest number
OF experts. The 18th Regiment last year made the
best record in the brigade as we'll as being ahead
OF all the organizations in the State in the number
OF experts. For this reason the general decided
TO offer it company prize rather than prizes to
individuals. ~ -

COL. CHARLES DENBY.
Rumor Has It That He Will Succeed MT. Conger as American Min
 ister to China.

Col. Charles Denby will return to China, it is rumored, as minister plen- ipotentiary in the place of Edwin H. Conger. MT. Conger has not resigned, and it is known that he speaks of returning to Picking in his official capacity. At the same time it is as- serted that the Peking mission was offered to John Goiodnow, now consul general at Shanghai, who refused be- cause of the difference in the sal aries, his present post paying $20,- 900, while that at Picking draws only $12,OOo. Col. Denby made a brilliant success of the Chinese mission during the 13 years he held it. He was ap- pointed by President Cleveland in 1885. President Harrison recalled him and appointed Henry w. Blair in
