price. That had much common sense
behind II as to the need of a wldened
circle of university influence and the
hunger of the mass for educational OPP
portunitles now limited mainly to the
well-to-do. But to state the problem
well was not to solve II, as Mr.. Walker
found out when he came to deal with
Its practical side. Then there was his
bold attempt to coax into being sue
cessful ,fylng machine. The induce
ment he offered for it's naturalization
was ample and 1t would no doubt have
appeared on schedule time If 1t had
been in the woods. But not even so
John Brisben Walker could form
working partnership with the impos-
sible, or, perhaps we should say, with
the as yet non existent.
Mr.. Walkers latest project is quite
as courageous as the rest. He is going
to call together--if things properly con-
nect--a worlds congress to be made up
of the one hundred persons who shall
represent the "highest thought and
most practical statesmanship of all ma
tons" There will be mo personal,
political or diplomatic reasons" guiding
the selection of this group of the
worlds immortals, neither will there be
pre-arranged programme. When the
one Hundred convene they will plan
their own work and have nobody to
call them down because of the manner
in which they shall do 1t. Mr.. Walkers
idea so far as it has been put into un-
derstandable shape, seems to be to get
these eminent men together and then
TO let them go, Gallagher.
All of which, if it materializes, ought
to add to the gayety of nations.

team work enabled r. f. and II. L.
Doherty to defeat Holcombe Ward and
Dwight F. Davis on the Casino courts at
Newport yesterday. and win for England
the tennis championship In double for the
first time In the history OF the game In
this country. Although the victors car
ried off the match In straight sets. the
score Of 11-9. 1910 and Ga shows at
once the ferceness Of the contest. In
points the total score was ITO to 155.
To the 1000 loyal followers OF the game,
grouped about the court and watching
every stroke. the result seemed surpris-
ing. for throughout the match the Ameri-
cans seemed TO play the faster and GER
tainly more brilliant tennis. But their
swift strokes and their steadiness at the
net were wanting at critical periods. and
their mistakes at these times were more
frequent.
On the other hand. the English pair
were invariably in the right spot at the
right time. and the fact that the Ameri-
cans won only 6s of their 155 points on
their opponents errors shows the general
excellence OF the Engiishmens game.
