LAWN TENNIS TEAM OFF
litter THE DAVIS CUP.
Wright, Ward, Collins and Little
Sail ON the Celtic.

Representatives OF the United States for the
international lawn tennis challenge matches
BeaIs c. Wright Hoicombe Ward, Raymond d.
Little and Kreigh Collins-sailed yesterday for
England. The four wielders of the racquet were
aboard the White Star liner Celtic and they
were all hopeful Of returning the famous cup.
originally offered by Dwight Il. Davis In 1900
10 this country
Conspicuous in the gathering on the pier be-
fore the steamship pulled out into the river was
Wright the national champion. He was cheer
ful, despite the fact that his right hand was
swathed in bandages because of the painful in
Jury he sustained on Thursday by being cut with
broken bottle He said that as his playing
hand was his left he did not look for any handi-
cap when he came to compete in the matches
for the cup. He believed that the week at sea
would put all of the team in the best sort Of
condition, and he was more hopeful Of success
this year than he had been week ago
There was a full passenger list on the Celtic,
and many of the prominent persons who were
sailing took interest in the members OF the
team, and they became the recipients of many
well wishes long before the voyage began. Ward
and Collins were accompanied by their wives.
No trainer went abroad with the team. as was
the case a year ago, when Paul Dashiell accom-
panied the players. The idea of those directing
the playing Of the team is that Wright and Ward
Will practically do all the work ana Little or
Collins be called in to play in case Of emergency.
Several of the experts professed TO believe that
Collins would attain his true form during the
week of practice that the men will have in
Liverpool before they meet the French team on
June l.
The players expect to arrive in Liverpool
about May 25. and will engage in some hard
preparatory work for the matches II is the gen.
eral belief that they will easily win from the
Frenchmen. They will then face the Austral-
asian team, which is sure TO defeat the Aus
trians. This is the contest that the Americans
are fearful Of, for the two AustTalasians were
strong last year and are reported as being much
improved. The winning team of the American
Australasian contest will then challenge the
British holders for the Davis Cup
The cup was first offered in 1900 and was sue
cessfully defended by the Americans. England
challenged the next year, but did not send over
team. The English team defeated in 1902
on the courts at Bay Ridge. They won over the
Americans in Boston in 1903 Last year the
American team met defeat after winning the
preliminary matches.

THE SEED.

Scarce had my flower bloomed when
one
BY one its crimson petals fell;
Touched by some change inscruta-
BILE,
Its life and loveliness were done.
Q life, o loveliness, how brief;
How soon tha costly wine is spilled,
The casket sealed, the laughter
stilled,
But o, how long, how endless,-grief!
So using, mourning, l complained,
When 10, a seed replaced my
flower
All that was drawn OF sun or shower
Potentially to me remained.
A voyager this tiny barque
That breasts the sea of change and
loss;
What power fashioned 1t to cross
The wide abysses of the dark?
Shall not that power make secure
'Gainst shock of change, the souls
of men?
In some far place beyond our ken
Shall what we gathered not endure

Prior to 1886 the prunes consumed
in this country came almost entirely
from France and the Danubian prov
inces. The consumption was small
and the fruit was considered a deli
cacy. Now more than 100000 900
pounds OF dried prunes are eaten
yearly in the United States, and,
needless to say, the product is no
longer considered a luxury.
In the year above mentioned Amer
lean prunes first appeared on the
market, and each succeeding year the
supply has increased until the import
alton of foreign prunes has been re-
duced to very small proportions. Most
of the enormous supply that finds its
way to boarding house tables is grown
in California. The large output of the
prune orchards there may be judged
from the fact that in Santa Clara
county alone there are 100000 trees
growing on $1,000 acres, 100 trees to
the acre. The quantity of prunes
cured there this year will exceed no.
900, 900 pounds, more than enough to
meet the requirements of home con-
sumption for the entire country. But
there is a large export trade to take
care of, and this absorbs the surplus

4 TEST FOR HEARST.

The supreme test in the life of w.
r. Hearst has now come.
If he is sensible, strong, conscien-
ticus in his convictions and aims, he
will not be "grouchy" over his defeat,
He can make friends by co-operat,
ing with Hughes in the suppression OF
graft and in cleansing New York of
the corruptionists, both democratic
and republican.
If Hearst is big enough to be gov.
ernor he won't sulk over his loss. If
he is really a man of large caliber ha
will not kick and complain. If there
is apparent fraud he can investigate
il.
But he will make friends in New
York and in the entire country by
continuing to hammer away at the
trusts as though he were governor.
If he holds his temper and keeps
on hitting hard he will perhaps be
the next governor.
Defeat is a good test for big man.
A man who can take defeat grace
fully, cheerfully, is big enough TO de-
serve Victory.
