NAHANT TENNIS TOURNEY.
Clothier Creates Surprise by Easily
Defeating "Bob" Wrenn.

r. D. Wrenn was overwhelmingly de-
feated by w. ]. Clothier. g. 60. in the

was occasioned when the crowd realized
that the ex-national champion and picked
American representative for the Interna-

That Clothier who has been beaten by all
the other leaders this year. should vanquish
Bob" Wrenn so easily was a surprise to
many. Wrenn was completely outplayed
from the start. and the only games in the
whole contest that he got were the third

Americas saving the International cup this
year.
r. d. Wrenn put up his typical aggressive
net game. but Clothier passed him down
the side lines with accurate drives. When
Clothier had his chance to get to the net
he seemed impregnable, getting back every
thing and keeping Wrenn on the run from
one side to the other. Toward the end of
the first set Clothier began to vary his
swift straight serve by a twist which gave
Wrenn considerable trouble Clothiers
brilliancy was simply overpowering. Wrenn
tried lobbing. but the strong wind initiated

which Wrenn has long been past master

Douglas recorded his TO against r. D.

Jack Tars in a Cake Walk.
From the London Express

The ue-iackets of the American squad
ron ''cake walked through the streets Of
Portsmouth yesterday as the band OF the
ID Hants Volunteer Artillery played lively
Yankee air. The cake walk was an unex-
pected addition to the days entertainment.
which had been arranged for the visiting
sailors by the corporation Of Portsmouth.
They marched 800 strong. from the dock
yard to the ConnauGht drill hall. where
they were rendered g luncheon by the
mayor and corporation.
At first the sailors swung along in an
easy step while the band played a lively
march. The cheers with which they were
greeted tripled in force as the music sud
denly shifted to the genuine cake walk
rhythm. and almost as one man the col
umn dropped as quickly into the peculiar
half shuttle, half-pirouette affected BY cake
walkers. Lieut. Spencer Wood of the Chi
cago. who commanded the column, was
nonplussed and a little angry, but the
crowd was so thoroughly pleased that
there we're repeated demands for an encore.

Farm Children Need Farm Studies.
From Worlds Work.

rom NOrlus Noih-
Our educational system has been made by
CITY people, and the country school finds IL
second hand, ilI-fitting and unattractive.
To this fact more than to any other, per-
haps is due the backwardness OF education
in agricultural states. The school has not
taken hold on farm life. Plants. soils, ami
mails. insects. flowers. the weather, the for
ests and the sky-from all these things 1t
has stood apart. while 1t has babbled of
subjects unfamiliar and uninteresting to
the country-bred child. All rural education
has been hacked and hewed to ct the Pro-
crustean bed Of the city model.
This is a severe indictment OF our present
methods. but 1t Is not whit too severe. To
find proof you have only to examine the
text books In use in our rural schools. Ap.
parently they have been written solely FOR
city children. sons and daughters OF clerks,
merchants. bankers and traders. They do
not even suggest to the farmers child the
possibilities of science and training In ag-
ricultural work. On the contrary, the nat.
ural and logical inference from our general
scheme Of rural instruction 10 that educa.
ton is not indispensable to the farmer, but
is intended chiefly for the commercial and
professional classes.

CHESS AND CHECKERS.

Harry N Pillsbury, the American chess
champion, took passage in London, July -,
on the Menominee for New York. He Will
go directly to his home in Philadelphia,
where he will take a short rest from his
arduous experiences at Monte Carlo and
Vienna. In October he will make another
grand tour of this country, starting with
the Franklin and Mercantile Chess Clubs of
Philadelphia.
While Mr. Pillsbury is today the most
brilliant blndfold chess player in the world.
1t Is thought by his many friends that thus
kind of work Is breaking him down and
rendering him unfit for serious match play
1t is well known that Mr.. Pillsoury has
been for some time endeav oring to obtain
a match with I.asker for the worlds cham
pionship. but 1t is thought by his many
friends that to engage In such match 1t
would require q long rest and cessation
from this S.de-ShOw entertainment play,
though. no doubt. this kind Of play brings
him in more money than set match
would.

Marshalls proposition to play for the

that the champion receive $500 from the
club getting the match. This amount will
no doubt be raised and the match will be a
go. Lasker's acceptance shows that he
does not regard Marshall as of light
weight as many of the players have sug-
