MEET BRITISH TODAY
AMERICANS STRONG AT TENNIS
Whitman and Larned show Up In
Excellent Form at Practice
In Singles.

All Of the seven players in the interpa-
tiona1 lawn tennis tournament put their
finishing touches on their practice yes
terday at Bay Ridge, and this afternoon
they began what promises to be the most
notable struggle in lawn tennis history.
In the morning the two Dohertys went
out and played two or three fast sets
against each other and then each had
knock up" as they call it, with PIN.
The Irishman was even steadier than In
yesterdays practice, and Captain N. L.
Jackson was SO satisfied with his work
that in the afternoon he announced that
PIN and R. F. noherty would be played
in the singles and Fl. L. Dougherty only
in the doubles with his brother.
In the absence of Richard Stevens,
who has been selected by the players as
referee of the matches, the two team
captains, Collins and Whitman. got to-
gether early last night and made the draw
for the order of play in the singles The
result was that PIN drew Whitman for
this afternoons first match, and this left
r. F. Doherty to meet Larned. The draw
for the. second day will be simply the re-
verse of this, PIN VS.. Larned and Doherty
VS.. Whitman.
Whitman and Larned practiced together
yesterday afternoon, and those who had
fancied that Larned was going to furnish
a weak spot on the American team opened
their eyes in wonder. The champion
seemed to have got his grilliant ground
strokes we'll under control, and he showed
a splendid command of the ball. Two
fast sets were played, Larned winning
both. |
| Whitman Is the most feared of all the
Americans, and his reverse twist service
holds terrors for the visitors. He has
| been practicing good deal lately.
Davis and Ward came out together for
an hour of fast stroke play, without keep
4 ing any score.
| Among the American players there Is q
quiet feeling Of confidence in the result
| and one or two of them at least expect
to catch the challengers mapping. Al
though there has been no betting on the
result, several offers to back the Ameri-
can team were made yesterday by those
who know the players best. The visitors
decline to express any opinion on the
! outcome, but seem to be very confident
under the surface,

Def FROM SPEARS
Local Billiard Player Challenges
Hatley for Championship.
DULUTH MAN FAILS TO REPLY
He Must Arrange Match When
Spears Posts $500, or Forfeit
Possession of Trophy.

George Spears, the local billiard expert,
has challenged w. F. Hatley, of Duluth.
who holds the northwestern championship
emblem, presented by the Brunswick
Bake Collender company, to play for the
trophy. Spears wrote to Hatley some
days ago asking for match, but has as
yet received no reply. Yesterday he ad-
dressed a second letter to the Duluth
man, requesting the latter to set date
for the match.
The trophy was won by Hatley at the
tournament held last fail, in which Hat
ley, Spears, Peterson of Fargo and Glow
Of St. Paul participated. According to
the conditions under which 1t was won,
the holder must play any northwestern
man who challenges him, provided the
challenge is accompanied by side bet OF
5000. The match must take place within
thirty days after the money Is posted,
falling which the holder forfeits posses
sion The trophy becomes the perman
nent property OF any player who retains
it for year.
Hatley has held the emblem since No
s{vember, and consequently will become
permanent owner within three months un-
less he Is beaten by Spears or some other
man. The local man says that If Hatley
declines to make match he will at once
post his money, thereby compelling the
Duluth man to play or forfeit, There Is
practically no doubt, therefore, that the
match will be arranged. i. s>s..s
Hatley has the privilege of naming thu
place where the match shall be- played
and the contest will undoubtedly be helt
in Duluth. Spears played a remarkable
form in his last two matches with Peter
son of Fargo, making a grand average o
over twelve in both contests. and he il
confident that he can defeat the Dulutl
expert.
All challenge matches for the troph,
must be at 900 points, fourteen-inch ball
| line. If Spears. is defeated by Hatley
Peterson of Fargo has announced his in
| tention of challenging for the emblem.

RACE TRACK SCANDAL
JoBB1NG OF THE STAKE EVENTS
Board of Directors of Columbus
Trottins Club Will BE Reor-
! ganized at Once.

The manner in which the recent grand
circuit meeting in Columbus was con-
Quoted will result in the complete re-
organization of the board of directors and
officials.
Charles q. Conrad, secretary of the as
sociation, who, for the past ten years has
had almost complete charge of the arr
rangements for and the management OF
affairs pertaining to the races, has
rendered his resignation at the request OF
the board of directors. The directors ex-
pected that President w, P. Gault would
also return, but he did not do SO, and he
will in all probability be retired before
many days.
The stockholders are much displeased
with the manner in which the races were
conducted. Many were admitted on COM
plimentary tickets, and women Of ques-
tionable character were permitted to
throng the refreshment booths under pthe
grand stand. This, coupled with the nu-
merous jobs in. the big stake events and
the flagrant attempt to fleece the public,
have caused prompt and vigorous action
on the part of the stockholders. They
have planned for new deal all around, in
order that the track may regain it's form
er prestige and start anew.

OLD PROVIDENTIAL WAYS.
White House Entertainments anl
Dinners That Were Much Like
Home Affairs,

1t has been charged that Jefferson
banished courtly laws and introduced
shambling manners. When the Madi-
sons took his place they sought to es-
TIA blish the old order of affairs. The
white house was gay with dances.
dinners, levees and garden parties.
Some unkind diplomat has recorded
Mistress Dolly's dinners as being
more like harvest home suppers than
affairs of state. There certainly was
a home-like air about Mrs. Madison's
affairs. 1t was during the Madison
regime that the custom of making
calls at private houses on New Years
day was inaugurated at the capital.
1t still survives there, in spite of the
fact that other social centers have
voted it plebeian, says the National
Magazine. Jackson's reign is asso-
ciated with the merriest, maddest
scenes the white house has ever
known. The fame of his plebeian
suppers bids fair to rival Washing
tons little hatchet. While his guests
smoked costly cigars he blew whiffs
from his corncob pipe, whitfield by his
own hand. His lavish entertainments
ate deep inroads in his salary, and it
was his constant worry that his cot
ton crop would fail and leave him un-
able to meet his expenses.

"Oh. Mr.. Blount-Oliver!" faltered

for me? And Edith-I always thought
I'm sure she thinks. too"
Ediths cheeks began to flame with
rage and modification. She felt dis

she could say anything further. and she
had to bite her lips to keep from cry
ing out.
"Oh. no; the fair Edith knows better
than that; besides" added Oliver. seiz-

for her I would never have dared to
tell you the secret of my heart; it was
Edith herself who told me that she
had seen you kiss this little ring of
mine in such way that she knew you
loved the giver."
An excla ma tion she could not repress
burst from Edith's pale lips.
"Oh, what fool have been!" she
muttered. Il actually have played the
girls game for her."
But the lovers were too much occu-
pied to hear any voice just then except
their own .ow murmurinos: and Miss
Ranlen with a sudden feeling that she
had heard enough, glided away from
the overhanging vines and hastened
back to the hotel.
Bitter, almost uncomfortable, was her
humiliation; but she was sufficiently
woman of the world to hide it from all
eyes. And her voice was loudest of all
in hearty congratulations when, in the
course of a few days, the announce
ment was formally made of Berta's en-
gagement.-N. Y. Weekly.

She received 72S presents, the esti-

were given by friends, the other half
by people either anxious to adver-
tise their acquaintance with the
Londonderry family or to secure a
place on the Londonderry visiting
list.
In more than 100 instances in which
pushing snobbishness was clearly
the motive in giving it is said that
the gifts were returned with a polite
intimation that the bride elect did
not feel justified in trespassing on
the donors good nature. The rap
idly growing ostentation of wedding
gifts amounts to a serious annual
charge upon the resources of even

the idea of possible poverty there Ia
scarcely anything it will not do to

minds us, have been known to shoot
themselves in the dread fear of being

all other respects the purest and

its own strong arm all the higher

A LOAF CENTURIES OLD.
1t Was Found in a Cave-Dwe1Iing in
Arizona and Is Now in
Museum.

A notable recent contribution to the
archaeological museum of the Univer-
sity of Arizona is loaf of bread found
in a cave dwelling in the Superstition
mountains of central Arizona in 1879,
and since that time in the possession of
Herbert Brown, superintendent of the
territorial prison, says a Tuscon re-
port.
The loaf is undeniably bread, and
without doubt is of great age. 1t was
found embedded in the ashes wherein
it was baked probably hundreds or per-
haps thousands of years ago. 1t had
very plainly been wrapped in cloth or
mat, and the marks of the fiber of the
cloth are visible in the dark, brick-like
mass. Mr.. Brown is of the opinion that
the bread was made of mesquite beans,
roughly ground in metates by the
aboriginal housewives of centuries ago.
With it was found store of ancien
sacc1ficial implements, stone axes and
arrowheads. The loaf has been steri,-
lied by the cura or of the museum. and
has been sealed within glass jar.

The Number of Words That the Aver
age Operator Takes Down in
the Course of an Hour.

An expert amenuensis and type
writist, such as are as a rule en-
ployed by first-class business houses,
will take from dictation (stenographic
notes) and transcribe on the type
writer all the way from 100 to $50 let
ters day, averaging about 100 words
per letter, by which calculation he
will write from 10000 to $4,000 words
per day, which in almost all cases he
will be obliged to do within seven
or eight working hours. Taking mat
ter on the machine from dictation
(direcD, however, is a different prop
osition, says an authority, an expert
typewritist working by this method
being able to average from 800 to $500
words per hour for a stretch of eigh.
hours. Of course his first hour will
naturally be his best, in which he will
be able to bat OUT something like
1000 to possibly $500 words. A fair
average when transcribed from manu-
script or notes is 1000 words per hour
