Ing the tournament a great success as the
best players from the different city courts
are entered in both the singles and doubles
The four who played in the semi-fnals last
week at the Field club have all entered in
the singles and there are many others
equally as strong. This will be the really
first opportunity for the enthusiasts to un-
oerstand now the various players of the
city compare and the handicapping must
necessarily be a little doubtful, as some of
the players are practically unknown.
The Field club is well represented in the
list of entries and they are going IN nalre
a strong bid for the doubles. In a try-out
match on their courts Saturday afternoon
two OF their teams in the doubles played
a three-set match. Collett and DR. Van

the best team in doubles at the club. The

time by many years.
At the time the Civil war broke
out everybody here was busy laying
the foundation of the town, but as the
conflict between the North and South
became more sanguinary and intense,
the people returned to their homes in
the East and the South to take part in
the struggle, and the work of build
ing the town was for the time
abandoned
Many years previous to the epoch
OF the Rebellion a two story stone
structure was reared on the site of
the old library building which was
designed for a hotel, but for some
reason no roof was ever put upon it
and it soon fell into decay. for there
was little demand for buildings dur
ing the war .preiod, AS most of the
men had gone home to fight under
the flag, either of the Union or Con
federacy.
Upon the ruins of this old structure
was erected the one story wooden
buildings just pulled down. and in the
years that interviewed from that time
to this, it passed through many vicis-
situdes and was used for many pur-
poses.
1t belonged to Col. Greenwood,
chief engineer of the D. and r. G.
Railroad Company for many years.
and was his official headquarters as
the head. of the engineering department
of that corporation for a long time.
After Col. Greenwood's death his
widow sold it to the Ladies' Library
Association and for the last fifteen
years or more, ii housed the books

displayed by the British, which is now

in the House of Commons to-day as to the
outbreak of enteric fever on board the re-
formatory ship Cornwall, which, it was
stated, had been traced to infected army
blankets from the hospital camps in South
Africa, Mr.. Brodrick, Secretary of State
for War, stated that, owing to the rapid
rehabilitation of troops. an enormous
stock of unwashed blankets had been placed
in storage. These were more or less Sc
riously damaged by fire which was caused
by spontaneous combustion. Orders were
thereupon issued that those in the worst
condition he burned and that the remaining
5000 be sold. There appeared to have
been an error OF judgment on the part OF the
officer responsible for the carrying out OF
these orders, in not disinfecting the blan-
kets which had been in contact with sick
