Supreme Court Decisions.

The case of Mrs. Elizabeth
Taylor VS.. Mr.. Sanders Brad
ford, which went up from the
circuit court in this county, was
affirmed by the supreme court
last Monday. The plaintiff was
EN- ployed at the City Steam
Laundry and was hurt while
operating an ironing machine.
At the time of the accident Mr..
Bradford was the sole proprietor
of the laundry. and Mrs. Taylor
sued him and secured a verdict
for one thousand dollars, which
verdict. as stated above, was
affirmed by the supreme court.
In this case the plaintiff was re-
presented by Judge J. A. Orr
and the defendant by Mr.. z. P.
Landrum.
In the case of H. n. Watson. ct
al, VS.. w. B. Perkins, which went
up from the chancery court of
this county, the supreme court
sustained the motion TO dismiss
appeal. This decision, however,
does not finally dispose of the
case. The motion on which the
decision was rendered was one to
have the clerk make an itemiZed
bill of all money due on the plan
tation which is in dispute. and
Mr.. Watson's attorney did not
favor the motion on account of
the expense entailed. In this
case Mr.. Watson is represented
by Col. t. ]. O'Neill and the Per-
kins interests are represented
by Col. VIM. Baldwin, of this
city, and Messrs. Brame &

as last year and found it extremely diff
cult to return Mr.. Russ backhanded
serves and strokes. The Texan cham
pion was as cool as cucumber and
played a steady game throughout the
match. He excelled at the net and was
remarkably good in placing balls. Mr..
Russ gave the audience the finest tennis
ever seen in Vermont and played with his
head as we'll as his hand.
During the week the social features
were not neglected and the visitors spoke
highly of the hospitality shown. Lunch
and supper were served daily to the
players and their lady friends, Tuesday
night there was general reception in
the club house, Wednesday night there
was another one and Thursday night
most of the players participated in a
dance in Pvthian Hall. The remaining
evenings the players gathered and talked
over college days or reviewed the days

The annual state tennis tournament |
was held at the courts of the Old Pine
Golf Club last week from Tuesday
through Saturday and proved to be the
most interesting feature in the athletic
line this summer. Over half the players
were from out of town, and besides be-
ing royal good fellows they were crack
tennis players, giving through the week
an exhibition of the fastest tennis ever
seen in st. Johnsbury, or in the state for
that matter. AS the result of the tour
nament Semp Russ of San Antonio,
Texas, the Gulf states champion, is now
the champion OF Vermont and holds the
silver challenge cup for the coming year.
He also wins the tournament cup, and
he and his partner, c. c. Cresson,
captured the cups offered for the cham
pions of Vermont in doubles. Russ and
Cresson, who came here as the cham
pions of the Gulf states, return to
their Texan home as champions also OF
the state of Vermont. Nor were these
all the honors captured by Southerners
as Henry Clay Bridgers of Tarboro, N.
c., was the runner up and took the run
ner I'D cup. The consolation cup went
to R. B. Dresser of Southbridge, Mass,
Yale 'O3, and Harvard law school '06,
after the hardest and closest match OF
the entire week. The cups for the run.
ners up in the doubles went to R. L.
James of Saratoga, N. Y, and his part
uer E. B. Cornwall of Princeton, N. j.,
and a graduate OF Princeton in the last
class.
The city of Burlington furnished one
fourth OF the entries, six players coming
over, including F. S. Pease, the Univer-
sity of Vermont champion, Prof. George
E. Howes, who played great tennis all
up the line and almost won the consola-
ton cup, c. P. Trask, who was beaten
by the runner up in hard fought match,
and ]. c. Torrey, who was the only
Burlington player to get into the semi
finals and Fl. c. Clark and R. E. Bing-
ham who came over on Mr.. Clark's
automobile.
The scores do not always indicate the
closeness of the matches and aside from
| the Dresser Howes contest in which %
games were played in the first set, the
doubles furnished much interest and
abounded in sharp plays. In the match
between Cornwall and James against
Bridgers and Dresser each man picked
his partner after arriving at st. Johns.
bury and close match was the result
Mr.. Cornwall made some fine returns,
Mr.. Dresser played in pretty and easy
style and Mr.. Bridgers, who is an all
round athlete, made things decidedly in
teresting. The Gulf champions, Russ and
Cresson, played together like clock work
and In their match with Cornwall and
James showed up splendidly. The local
players were no match for the visitors
and dropped by the wayside early in the
tournament. Mr.. Russ was early picked
as the challenger, though the players
knew that Mr.. Brldgers could put up q
good game and when the two came to.
gether in the finals the crowd was not
disappointed. Mr.. James, the winner oi
last years cup, arrived Wednesday and
practiced through the week. The cham

and was somewhat of surprise to the
crowd who had expected close contest
Mr.. James did not play as strong game

THE HAUNTED PALACE

In the greenest of our valleys
BY good angels tenanted,
Once a fair and stately palace
Radiant palace-reared it's head,
In the monarch Thoughts dominion
1t stood there;
Never seraph spread pinion
Over fabric half SO fair.
Banners yellow, glorious, golden,
On it's roof did float and flow
(This-all this-was in the olden
Time long ago).-
And every gentle air that dallied,
In that sweet day,
Along the ramparts plumed and pallid,
A winged Odor went away.
Wanderers in that happy valley
Through two luminous windows saw
Spirits maving musically
To lutes well-tuned law,
Round about throne, where sitting,
Porpbyrogene,
In state his glory well BETTING
The ruler Of the realm was seen.
And all with pearl and ruby glowing
Was the fair palace door,
Through which came flowing, flowing,
flowing,
And sparkling evermOre
A troop of Echoes, whose sweet duty
Was but to sing
In voices of surprising beauty
The wit and wisdom of their king.
But evil things, in robes of sorrow,
Assailed the monarch's high estate;
(Ah, let us mourn, for never morrow
Shall dawn upon him desOlateD
And round about his home the glory
That blushed and bloomed
Is but a aforementioned story
Of the old time entOmbed.
And travellers now within that valley |
Through the red-litten windows see
Vast forms that move Enthusiastically
To a discordant melody;
While like a CHASTITY rapid river,
Through the pale door
hideous throng rush out forever,
And laugh--but smile no more.
