amateur outdoor games, the newer sport has
failed to drive the older into second place, and
at best has but divided the honors with it in
popular favor. The greater convenience of
lawn tennis and its adaptability to restricted
private grounds, and to indoor courts will al
ways tend to keep it in the front rank Of
healthful, competitive athletic exercises. The
latest volume of the American Sportsman's Lii
brary, issued under the general editorial super
vision Of Caspar Whitney, is devoted 10 this
sport. The author, J. Parmly Paret is a player
who has not only achieved high rank in the
gane-he won the indoor championship in 1902
but has made a scientific study of it, as well.
and has contributed largely TO its literature for
several years in The Tribune and elsewhere.

and enthusiasm, and viii undoubtedly be ac-

PORTRAITS IN PASTEL.

American lovers of the art Of pastel drawing
Will be glad TO learn that the gallery in the
Lecuyer Museum at Saint-Quentin, containing
eighty-seven portraits by Quentin de Ia Tour,
the eighteenth century master has been
ranged, and that the works may now be seen in
a better light and under more favorable condI-
tons than at any time since the superb collec-
ton was bequeathed to the city by the artists
brother. Maurice de la Tour, in the year 1906.
La Tour was born at Saint-Quentin on Septem-
Der 8. 1904, and his bicentennial anniversary
was duly celebrated last month by a pilgrimage
Of some three hundred Partisan painters and lit
erary men to the gloomy, smoky little Industrial
town in Picardy.
His pastels are pretty well scattered over
Europe. There are some admirable examples in
the Louvre. Many others have disappeared,
notably the famous portrait OF Voltaire made
in 1929. which was subsequently placed in the
philosophers dining room at Grey. An engrav-

is extant, but the original has been the object of
fruitless search by experts IN France, England.

his portraits, and often made half dozen draw

THE REASON WHY.

Mir. Editor: These two edi- torials appeared in your yester- days paper:
 The man who, wanting a drink, will not walk one block to secure it, is still missing. General opinion inclines to the belief that the man who really craves a drink (and it is this class which prohibitionists would help resist such temptations) would walk twenty blocks. :
 ''The grand jury was in session last week four days at Corning and adjourned without returning a single indictment. The states, which were once accustomed to laugh at Arkansas, must now ad- mire a people who walk so well within the statutes of the law as to make criminal courts unneces- sary.'
 Two years ago Corning voted out saloons and elected officers that could and would see blind tigers as they stalked the streets or crouched in the corporation. Before they were voted out the writer held a meeting in Corning during a session of court and they had plenty of criminal cases on hand. Crack this nut, and if you wish Corning's record in Newport change your course re- garding this curse.

SHERIFF RETURNS
 WITH PRISONER.

Sheriff Morgan has returned from Norwood, Mo-; says the Batesville Bee, where he got Bud Sanders, who was convicted in the Independence county cir cult court for an assault with in- tent to kill. Before the defend ant was sentenced he broke iail and made his escape. Several days ago he was captured by the officials at Norwood and MT. Morgan was notified. He left at once, but before he got there Sanders made his escape again and laid out in his shirt sleeves and barefooted last Saturday night. MT. Morgan was com pelled to return without his man. In about twenty minutes after he reached home Monday a telegram was received stating that Sanders had been recaptured. MT. Mor- gan left on the next train and brought him in, as stated above. Sanders suffered greatly from his exposure Saturday night. His feet are badly frost bitten.
