JAY GOULD
VICTOR IN ENGLAND

LONDON, May 4.-Jay Gould yesterday
had his hardest match so far in the English
amateur court tennis championship tourna-
ment at the Queens Club. when in the semi
final round he defeated Major Cooper Key
by three sets to love, eighteen games to ten,
and 90 strokes to 81
Mr., Gould has had to play better in each
of his three matches than in any of the pre-
ceding ones, but each time he has risen to
the occasion without extending himself
much more than was absolutely necessary
to win.
Although it was conceded by those who
witnessed yesterdays match that the Amer
lean is the most marvellous player seen here
for years, the general impression is that he
has not even yet disclosed his best form.
Major Cooper Key Is just now playing a
very strong game but he seemed to be a
little disheartened at losing the first set In
view of the fact that he won the first three
games and was leading five games to three.
The Brittsher made fine effort in the
third set however. and led three games to
one. Mr.. Gould drew level at three games
ALL and then took the lead, but not until
after deuce had been called seven times
The score was 6-5, 81, 6-4.
In the other match II. J. Hill beat J. 3.
Marshall by three sets to love, the score
being 81, 60, 6-5.
Messrs. Hill and Gould will meet in the
final on Saturday.

Effort to Down Senator Dryden.

Corporation Counsel Record of Jersey City,
the most conspicuous member of the Colby
Pagan reform faction In New Jersey, was
nominated for United States senator last
night at dollar dinner given at Columbia
Hall in Ocean avenue, Jersey City, by
Mayor Fagan's republican city committee
The nominating speech was made by Mayor
Pagan and his declaration that Record was
the only man who could successfully put
United States Senator John F. Dryden out
of business was received with wild cheering.
Organization republicans throughout the
state have guessed for long time that the
corporation counsel was ambitious to serve
his country In the United States Senate and
they have been anxfously waiting for the
official announcement of his plans. They
will now bend their energies in waging
vigorous fight against the Fagan-Colbyites
and the reformers will continue their bitter
warfare with the hope of ultimately putting
the organization down and out in all the
counties In the state. The prospects of hot
times in Jersey politics were never brighter.
