Displaying great fairness where an
opponent Is concerned, sturdy Miss
May Sutton of Pasadena, Cal, the
present holder Of the all England wo-
mems championship and American ex-
champion, has gone to London TO de-
fend her claim to the English honors.
Miss Sutton won the English cham
piOnship last season by defeating Miss
ID. X. Douglass, the defender, s~etless,
In the challenge match. Shortly before
the match the English woman had
wrenched her right arm while ut prac-
tice. 1t was the opinion of the Eng
fish followers of the sport that had
their champion been in the best of
trim Miss Sutton would have possibly
Jared differently. Approaching the ap-
parent cloud on her title, Miss Sutton
made her plans to again visit London
and defend the championship against
the winner of the tournament on the
Wimbledon courts.
Before sailing for England the Amer
lean girl arranged to play in many of

of play she WAS accompanied by two
of her sisters. all Of whom are experts
with the lawn tennis racket.
English Lawn Tennis, the current is
sue of which has Just been received In
this country, gives a ranking for the
season about to begin. In the list of
women players the American girl is
rated first, with a remarkable record.
For the three leading championships
of Grent Britain which she won Miss
Sutton is credited with winning 10
games. She did not meet defeat in
any match or lose q single set in all of
these contests and only lost seventy-five
games, which do not figure in the final
result. Her average for this brilliant
showing was .010, which is not even
approached by any of the women or

of Miss Douglass, ex-champion, for ap-
proximately the same play is $50.

ATDREAMLAND.
Biz Spectacle Ever Presented is Adver-
tised for that Place.

sSan Francisco which Is being
done at present at Dreamland, Coney
Island, is beyond doubt the most am
bilious production that has yet been
used on the Sands near the great City
of New York. 1t is educational in
this, that it tells the history of the
Pacific coast from the first minute
it was trodden by the foot of white
men. This is represented as the
curtain raises by the outpost of the
Spanlards clad in heavy mail who
had marched forward. These are
followed by the black-robed Holy
Fathers who established missions
along the coast, facing the dangers
of the Redskins This is in turn fol-
lowed by the first arrival of the
hardy and daredevil miners who
have wandered toward the setting
sun in search of gold, in spite of be-
ing harassed by the blood-thirsty In
dians. These scenes are then follow
ed by larger mining camps, whore
teh miner is seen both at work and
at play; the accompanying gamblers.
Cinnamon and negroes making con
spicious characters in the play. Then
follows the great boom Of 40 when
everybody is looking for gold and
marvellous fortunes are made. The
primitive machinery has been chang
ed for immense smelling mills, and
the hut of the miner has given place
to the palace-like mansions of the
nabob.
Then San Francisco is seer in its
glory--one of the greatest cities in
civilization-and when at the very
highest pinnacle of its prosperity
comes it's destruction by earthquake,
which Is wildly protrayed. Incidents
are shown such as there really oc-
CURED, taken all from photographs
which have been skillfully r%e-painted
After this scene of devastation, the
dity, such as it will be, is shown as
fancy paints it in most gorgeous hues
Dis indeed a City Beautiful.
This really stupendous work is the
work Of Mr.. Harry Lee, the we'll
known actor, who has personally
superintendent every detail. Several
hundred men are needed for its pro-
duetion and take it all in all, it is n
of the most realistic, interesting and
instructive dramatic performance
ever given.

and soon began gathering daisies and

in abundance. They took in all the
delights of the place, the fresh air,
the outlook over the bay and the
wild, natural beauties of the woods
and after they had become tired or
tramipng about and had gathered all
the wild flowers they desired, they
refreshed themselves by setting their
table picnic fashion and enjoying a
substantial luncheon. BY That time
they were ready for another outing
and they boarded a Keyport trolley
car and rode 10 Keyport and spent
a few hours at Pavilion Beach. They
certainly had aldelightful time.
