Ward the American national lawn tennis cham
uion and the winner last week of the champion
shin Of the City of London, in the first round
of the An-England tournament at Wimbledon
to-day brought much joy to the British camp.
The contest in which S. H. Smith. the Welsh
champion, was victorious. was probably the
fastest ever seen in England. Ward was not
quite up to his last weeks form. attributable
perhaps to the stiff work OF the last two days
II is conceded, however, that Smith never played
a better game. He appeared to be able to stand
the extreme pace better than Ward.
W. A Larned Beals C. Wright and W. j.
CIothier all won in the second round. Larned
especially showing good form, but in no case
were they forced to their best efforts.
Wards game against Smith was, OF course
the attraction of the day. The Welshn1an took
the first set rather easily and five straight
games in the second, Ward firing. In the thlrc
set however Ward made superb rally and the
score reached games all" When ward was
serving deuce was called nine times. Ward was
winning, but he seemed tagged ana lost the next
three games and the match
