How large the cloot hespin industry really r,
is may be gathered from the fact that
no less than 1.25o.0oO f!ve-gross boxes

United States alone. Much OF the best.
machinery now used by Mr., Mann is the
result OF his own inventive genius and
that OF his son Edwin. Mr.. Mann's ma

Delightful conditions greeted the players and spectators at the Lawn club yesterday, when play in the open tennis tournament which has been en- gazing the courts was resumed. Dou- bles and singles were on, and the nu- merous spectators weres treated to star plays fin both the inner and outer lines Many visitors from other cities, always enthusiastic over the club grounds and courts, added to the local attendance of ladies and gentlemen, gave an air of life and social pleasure reminding one of conditions of former times of this in- stitution, and it Is to be hoped that the new life and spirit which has entered into the club is to be, as is certainly irl- dicated, one of permanency.
 The results of yesterdays play are as follows:
 In the second round of the singles L. Perry beat E. R. Ingraham, GA, so. In the third round Lee McClung beat E. E. Hall, 7-5, 6-1; R. Le Roy beat L. Perry, GA, 6-1.
 In the doubles McClung and F. Chase beat Wick and McDuffie, 5-7. GA, 6-3; Hall and Ingraham beat L. J. Grant and S. Sargent, 6-1, e-4. In the second round Hall and Ingraham beat 2. sar- gent and M, Sargent, 6-4, s-6.
 In the consultations Walker beat Fair child, so, 6-2; Chase beat z. Sargent, S-6, 6-4; W. c. Granton beat Lawton Sargent, 6-4 6-1. Second round-Field beat Walker, GA, 7-9, s-S; Fitch beat M. Sargent, 6-1, 2-6, 6-1
 Good sport is expected to-day, as the matches draw down to the finals, and those fond of the game, good air and pleasant surroundings will do well to attend.
