BRYAN ATTENDS A LAWN FETE
Editor of the COmmOner Speaks to
the Attendants at ST. CeciIIa's
Social.

William Jennings Bryan was the chief at
traction at a lawn social given by st. Ce-
celia's parish, at the home Of Bishop Sean
nell, Thirty sixth and Cunning streets, last
night.
Shortly after Q o'clock Mr.. Bryan, with
others, mounted the music stand. Almost
Immediately the electric light suspended
above went out with a hiss leaving the plat
form in darkness. When light had been re-
stored, Mr.. c. ]. smyth introduced Gov
ernor Jennings, a cousin OF Mr.. Bryan. who
has been visiting in Lincoln. The governor
made some we'll received remarks, praising
the state and western country generally.
Then Mr.. Bryan was introduced. His re-
marks were greeted with applause and
laughter. The following is the gist Of som
Of his points:
Ladies and Gentlemen: am here partly
because Mr.. smyth wished me to come, who
has done so much for me; and l am happy
If there is any service l can do for the
church to which he belongs. II he says I
can do a favor to the Catholic church. 1
am glad. for 1 will have to do a great deal
to get even, as during the campaign had
the earnest support OF very many or the
Catholic church, as also of the other
churches. I am glad to help a church which
does so much for mankind. 1 am also glad
to have my cousin here. I do not cons der
myself a curiosity, but thought that a men,
Der OF ny family who succeeded in politics
would be a curiosity.
But / will not make a political speech.
l have plenty Of opportunity to make those
and little for other words. / have made
political speeches for several years and have
come to the conclusion that people do not
like them. Poop , don't Jump on those who
preach sermons, so / thought I would dis
cuss Christianity. During the last four
months l have been developing a moral
philosophy. I find that the fundamental
truths OF human life are the great political
truths. I have taken the word civilization
for my subject, and am surprised to find
how little has been spoken or written on
the subject, and how little I knew of the
word. l looked In the dictionary and en-
cyclopedia, but was forced to make my
own definition. Civilization is the har-
monious development Of the human race,
physically, mentally and morally What are
we doing to raise up the civilization Of
which we are a part? We all have a part
In this civilization, our vices lower its level
and our virtues raise 1t up. The moral
element is paramount In civilization. In all
nations which have fallen, the moral decay
has preceded the political. / have heard
people say that nations grow and then de-
cay as human beings do. ! deny any an
alogy between man and nations which
makes this inevitable. Nations are made
by generations and / see no reason why
future generations should not be equal to
the present; nor why the United States
should not, in the future. be greater than
at present. II the nation falls It will bs

AFTERMATH OF THE TOURNEY
Tennis Men Delight to Prai,s the Field

GOOd-Natured JolIVing and Half
Earnest JanEIing that muse the
Gallery whiie the Matches
Were on.

The Interstate Tennis tournament ius,
concluded was the most extensive and sue
eessful tennis event ever held In Omaha and
seems to promise a great future here for the
game. Everything about the affair from
start to finish aroused nothing but the high
est commendation of all participants. The
Field club courts, six in humber, were ample
for the purpose, and were cracked up by
such men as Parker, Sheldon, Sanderson and
Peters as the best clay courts they had ever
seen. All equipment was perfect and the
prizes were generally dubbed magnificent.
With that beautiful challenge cup on its
hands, trophy that has now cost s170 cash,
It lie a cinch that the club Will hold a tourn-
ament each year with it as the principal
prize, and It's fame will draw each season a
wider spread list Of entries. This morn
ing's trains are taking the visitors out OF.
Omaha, but they all say they are coming
back. Those who 30 home without even a
consolation prise, and their name is legion,
say that they have had the time Of their
lives, and are coming back sure. Or. Shell

was booked for a winner in both singles and
doubles, but who didn't get a thing. Is hap
pier than any Of them. Said he: why.
I've made more friends than anyone. I'm
coming back sure
And that seems to be the spirit all around.
Meanwhile, the Field club shares IL. The
directors feel that the expense involved in
the tournament has been more than repaid
by the success achieved. Omaha has given
one great tennis tournament, and given II
right. Nothing was lacking that should en-
bellish a cosmopolitan affair OF the kind.
Everything was elaborate, and the Field
club men feel that the satisfaction Of know
ing this is alone a full return for all trouble
and expense.

The fate Of the Chicago men, Peters and
Ashcraft, brings prominently to mind the
great difference between the game as
played on grass courts and clay. There
Is no denying that grass courts are regu-
latlon, being according 20 the national
rules. All the big matches now progress
ing In the east, at Newport and other
places, are on grass. And not everyone
understands how perfect these grass courts
can be made. To most people the name
grass court" brings up a vision Of I'M
certain b%ounces, ruts and hollowe. Not
so. The grass court for a championship
match is Just like a carpet. One can
hardly believe IL grass, so even and level
Is 1t. You can bet on a true bounce from
them Just as safely as from a clay court.
The only difference Is In the degree and
quality ef ths Bounce, BIT there lies "a
great discrepancy. The grass bounce is a
slow one, an unwilling one and a shorter,
lower one than from clay. The ball seems
to settle In the grass and snuggle down
for a second before rising.
This beat Farnsworth at Chicago, when
he came whiting one point Of taking the
match from Ashcraft. Farnsworth said Il
was like learning a new game to be COM
PEELED to go so low all the time. The
same thing undoubtedly contributed to the
DOWNFALL Of Peters and Ashcraft here. They
simply found a ~livelier ball to play. But
OF course it is much harder to 60 from
clay to grass than vice versa, as a man
can always play a high bound. while a low
one is deceptive and harder to get.
There is undoubtedly a great difference
In the games and in the style Of play
adapted to each. Strokes which clay court
players use will not do at all on grass
courts, while strokes which are p~uzzlinE
and effective on grass lose their potency
and become easy balls on clay. The day
of grass courts in this part Of the west
cannot be said to be near at hand, so 1t is
probable that clay players will continue to
win interstate prizes around here.
Omaha daily bee., 1902-08-24

Another interesting feature OF the tourney
was that 1t brought so plainly into compe-
tition the two old points for dispute, style"
against winning As long as there are
sticklers for form this will be agitated.
One class OF players insist ON a style or
a form play and acquire that before they
learn to win games. Others play anything
that wins, and there you are.
When it's all said, is not the man who
wins the games the one who is playing In
real style" after all? II he can win on
his game has he not the proper form" in
stead Of his opponent with an elaborate
Lawford and other standard strokes which
he refuses to change for any play? Harry
Vardon, the golf champion, says that the
best form" lie what brings you the best
results. and so he plays: His game is like
no ones else, and causes the conventional
ones TO have spasms. Their aesthetic senses
are Jared. Is not this true also Of tennis.
Should not each player develop his own
form" adapting It to his physique, to his
temperament II style" so-called, does
not win. why play in 'styley"
There were plenty Of both classes in the
tournament here. As the extreme repre-
sentative Of style" take Parker. He had
style" and lots Of II, but he also could win
somewhat. That was because ais game
was wonderfully developed. However.
Farnsworth without q particle Of style
beat him out. Parker says aFrnsworth
plays In awful FORM" but what ala that
get Parkerl awful form beat him.
Asheraft is another with considerable
form" and where did he land3 His form"
strokes led him out Of court and into the
net most Of the time. Magee has great
style" and see what II does to him. How
many Of his beautiful strokes does he land
safelyG About one In three. He dropped
before Raymond in the second round.
sanderson has some style" but Il does
not stick out much. Yet he Is a winner.
He can make monkeys Of any Of the ''style''
extremists around here. He Is not afraid
to drop his stylish stroke for = winning
one when be cannot use It. II pays to be
a piugger and a winner.
