PNEUMONIA
Prevalent
LAST MONTH

The Regular monthly vital statistics
show that pneumonia has been the pre-
dominant cause OF death since Jan. 1.
The total number OF deaths for the
month Is but Ai. against s74 for the cor
responding month OF last year. yet this
total includes a larger number OF deaths
from pneumonia than Is shown by the
records for the past ~ years. In 1892
there were IS deaths from pneumonia and
congestion OF the lungs I'm the month OF
January. Since that year the highest
total for these two diseases for the month
OF January I'm any year up TO the present
was in 1900 when 50 victims of these two
maladies were recorded. Last months
returns include 81 fatal cases OF pneu-
monia and one OF congestion OF the lungs
an increase OF 13 over the highest January
since 1892 and % more than last year.
A number OF deaths from other lung
and throat troubles occurred last month,
bronchitis being assigned as the cause
OF IL, la grippe and influenza seven, diph-
iberia 10 and various other pulmonary
and bronchial affections "a. an aggregate
OF I43 out OF the total OF 344 for the month
that may have been, 10 some extent, at
least, the indirect result OF weather con-
ditions The number OF deaths from
diphtheria was larger than for any
January since lses. when the number OF
decedents from this cause was the same
10. The cases OF bronchitis have run
about the same each January for the past
three or four years,
There have been no deaths from scarlet
fever I'm January since 1900 up TO the pres
ent year. but the returns for last month
include three cases OF this contagious
malady Four cases of typhoid fever
are also enumerated, tallying with the
record for last January.
The returns for last month also reveal
that an unusually large number Of people
Of advanced age died from various causes.
out OF the total OF 3A there were 1888, or
1855 per cent who were above the age
OF 80. The record for the past iS years
in the registrars office shows that the
average mortality above the age OF 80 fCw
the entire period is but 1920 per cent OF
the total number Of decedents for that
space OF time. but the record for last
month leads the average In this respect
by over per cent.
OF this number "a were between the ages
OF 20 and So II between 50 and 20. and
three over 81 years the oldest OF the
latter being ~ years.

East for the First Time i'm Ten Years
 Without Representation in the Semf-
 FinaIs-FOwnes of Pittsburg EIImi-
 mates Former Champion Travis in q
 Hard Round-Lost Only at the Nine-
 teenth Hole.
 Chicago, Aug. 11.-After day of ex- ceptionally exciting golf in the eleventh national tournament, Champion H. Chandler Egan and D. E. Sawyer, both Chicagoans, survived to play the finals over 36-holes at the Wheaton links to- morrow. The east, for the first time since the national golf championship was instituted, ten years ago. was with out representation in the semi-finals this afternoon.
 Champion H. Chandler Egan gained the right to defend his title by going through the third and final rounds like marvel, putting out Fred Herreshoff of Ekwanok in the morning, up and 1 to play, which was not so easy a game as he had with this young New Yorker in the national finals last year at Bal tusrol. After defeating Herreshoff, Egan in the afternoon removed Harold Weber of Toledo, by the crushing de- feat of up, to play.
 It was left for the other side of the draw to furnish the greatest blow to the east, when W. c. Fownes of Pitts burg eliminated the former national and British champion, Walter J. Ira wis. In the afternoon MT. Fownes was unable to meet successfully the great golf put up by Ned Sawyer and was de- feated 2 up.
 Feber, early in the day made himself a factor by defeating E. M. Byers o1 Pittsburg, twice runner-up in national journeys, up. 2 to play, while Saw yers victory over A. l.. White removed the only Boston man left, the holder oi the intercollegiate championship, by the score of up, to play. Summary of the day: Third round:
 W. C.. Fownes, Pittsburg, defeated W. J. Travis, Garden City, 1 up, 1! holes.
 D. E. Sawyer, Wheaton, defeated A L. White, Ekwanok. 3 up, to play.

NEW YORK YACHTS ARRIVE
OYER ONE HUNDRED VESSELS ON
 THE ANNUAL CRUISE.

Large Yachts Made Quick Run to Mor-
 rfs COve-w. Gould BrOIkaw's Yawl
 SybarIta Leads Entire FIeet-Wind
 Holds True All Day--Corrected Times
 Not Net Announccd-OG for New
 London To-day. #4@
 As fine a day as the yachtsmen ever saw on a first day of the annual cruise to the eastward was the lot of the New York yacht club in it's run from Glen Cove, L. l., to Morris Cove yes- terday. The sky was almost cloudless the whole day, and the wind held fresh and true out of the southwest, giving the racing craft fair wind all the. way across the sound, so that scarcely a sheet had to be touched from the time the starting line was crossed un- til the yachts ran in over tfrey finish line off the southwest breakwater. Most of the large yachts made a quick run so that by o'clock in the after noon a larger part of the big fleet had found anchorage in Morris Cove, but a number of the sma1 craft did not finish until the evening hours. Upwards of sixty vessels of all kinds got away at the appointed hour yesterday morning at Glen Cove, but last night in Morris Cove, many craft having run in here ahead of the New York boats to join for the cruise to New London to-day.
 With so many boats in the run across for the cups offered for the first days racing the regatta committee found it. self with plenty of work on hand last evening, and it was decided not to an- nounce the corrected times until later.
 The yawl Sybarita, owned by w.. Gould Brokaw led the entire fleet in the run of about forty miles. In the seventy foot slooD class the Yankee won from the Weetomoe and the Min cola, on a close margin on corrected time. The Katrina won in the large schooner class and the Venona for 1 small schooners. and the Mira for small sloops. In several classes the | corrected time was not announced and l the result is not known.

TENNIS AT LoNGWoOD.
Play Yesterday Consisted Entirely of

Play Yesterday Consisted Entirely of
 Matches in Doubles.
 Boston, Aug. Il. 1.Tennis at Long- wood to-day consisted entirely of matches in doubles, and i've events left tonight, E. B. Alexander and H H. Hackett, and G. L. Wrenn and R. Fin- clSe all of New York, to compete in tha finals for the eastern Championship The winners win meet the western champions at Newport on the 22d. The course of Wrenn and Fincke through the tournament has thus far been an easy one, all their matches being decid- ed in straight sets. Their hardest con test came this afternoon when they met Clarence Hobart and w. c. Graft, and while they had to exert themselves cons siderably more than on previous days, still no extra sets were necessary, al- though the second went through six teen games. The pair are the favorites in the finals.
 The best contest of the day was that between Alexander and Hackett. and R. D. Little and R. LeRoy, which was started in the forenoon but was not fin- ished until 1:30 o'clock Alexander and his partner took the first sets with such ease that the reversal of form which developed in the next two sets which went to Little and LeFaoy made d de- feat seem almost certain But in the fourth set Alexander played a dashing game, his returns being swift and sure and his smashing unreturnable. With-s | in few minutes the match had been squared and the fifth had been started. Again it looked like Little and LeRoy as Hackett's weakness gave them lead of three games to one, but I.eRoy suddenly weakened and by driving at him continually Alexander and Hack | ett were able to bring the games up to all, and eventually after many long rallies, to take the next two and with them the set and match.
 Tn the afternoon Alexander and Hackett met K. Horton and A. Goldman of the local club and won easily in straight sets.
 No attempt was made to run off any of the single events as three of the players left in the semi-fnals were en= gagged ill matches in doubles.
