THE TENNIS TROPHY

OF the trophy. In these singles the winner
had to win the best three out of five sets,
and Davidson in the first two sets literally
carried Allen off his feet and won by scores
OF 6-3 and Ga. In the third set Allen
braced up and for a time it looked as
though it would be a toss-up as to which
one would win in the remaining sets, as
Allen was displaying form that he had not
shown in the first two sets. rms set he
won handily by a score of 1-6.
The players rested for short lntervai
and again resumed play and the intermis-
sion seemed to have done Davidson world
of good, for sooner was the set started
than it became apparent that the local man
would wrest the championship from the
New Yorker. When the final game had
been played and Davidson was announced
the winner by a score of CO shout went
up from the gallery in congratulatlon to
the local man, who had won the cham-
pionship and the cup for which the compe-
t:tion has been so keen for the last twelve
years.
Several of the local players have won the
championship twice. AS soon as Allen had
made the last failure to return the ball
properly and the championship had been
lost he stepped quickly to the net and
grasped DavidSons hand in way that
showed a manly and sportsmanlike adm1s-
sion of defeat.
In the match for the championship of the

of this city and Coston of Baltimore, who
had shown up remarkably well in the

was apparent that Gordon and Colston were

turbed. When she had at the helm that strong leader. if despotlc, Presi- dent Heaureaux, she enjoyed consid- erable period of prosperity; but since his assassination lin 1S99) the land has been in a most disquieted state. Heureaux. widely known as most re- markable negro and the most capable statesman of Latin Amer lea, ruled San Domingo from 1882 to 1899, and though he was high-handed and his try, during his regime San Domingo experienced a period more free from revolutions. more prosperous, better inclined toward outside capital and enterprise. and more disposed toward the ways of modern civilization than it had for long years.
 In the short time since the fall of HeaureauX. San Domingo has been un der the infliction of no less than five presidents, four of whom won their way by means of rebellions. The pres ent president deposed his predecessor by armed force, and his own hold on the presidential chair has been threat ened since the moment of assumption of power; in Domingo allies soon turn into enemies when the friend climbs up little too high. It is man, not part. that divides San Domingo, for party cannot be said to exist there in the usual sense of the term.
 It is a comfortable illusion to hold that these South American rebellions,

like French duels. are bloodless af- fairs. In reality they mean for many luckless wights bloodshed and death. The destruction of property during the progress of government overthrow is very great, the commercial loss to the country very harmful and, what has brought about the present action on the part of the United States, the con- mercial loss to the large American in terests and to other foreign interests For this reason there has been notice able for some time strong desire on the part of certain Dominicans to have out side help in protection of business; all though there is evidenced also very strong opposition to outside interfer- ence
 The exports of San Domingo consist of valuable timbers, coffee, tobacco, coca. bananas and sugar. The sugar lands of Domingo are not surpassed by any in the West Indies; the noun tain regions are especially suited to the cultivation of coffee; there are very favorable conditions for the cul- ture of cocoa. and everywhere in the country tobacco can be grown. Tropi- cal fruits of all kinds flourish-and this abundance is given as one reason for the flourish of revolutions, "the fighting can go on in season and out of season. and ever there are fruits to be had The rich forests produce rare cabinet woods and valuable tim Der of other sorts, needing only fair transportation facilities to greatly ex- tend the export trade in forest pro- ducts.
 The writer from whom We quote in the opening paragraph. systematically remarks that Santo Domingo is best known for these two reason-because the remains of Columbus were buried there. and on account of an almost continued state of ferment. The latter unfortunate state of affairs we have already referred to. of the claim to fame because of Columbus We shall now speak.

The population is composed main- ly of mixed race of the early Span iards and the aborigines, of mulattoes and negroes. There is quite a num- Der of whites and Europeans descend ed, and the Spanish language prevails. In the town French and English also are spoken.
 The capital of Santo Domingo is the city of Santo Domingo, founded in 1496, located at the mouth of the Ozama. It has probably 25.00O inhab- itants. The chief port is Puerta Plata and numbers about 15.0O0 people. The Roman Catholic is the religion of the state, other forms are allowed under certain restrictions. There are in the republic about 300 schools with about 10000 pupils. In the capital and other towns several literary societies four ish. and some 40 newspapers are pub lished in the little country.
 It is beautiful and fertile land, capable of supporting 8 population many times that it now contains. But though rich and lovely land, it is a much troubled one, civil strife inter- fering with any long-continued period of prosperity. The cause assigned for this disturbed condition is the temper ament of the people, the climate not being held directly responsible. it tend ing rather to laziness and inaction than bellegerancy.
