END OF HURON LAND OFFICE.
Business is Wound Up and Office
Transferred to Pierre District.

The business of the Huron land dis
trict has been about closed up, after
an existence of a quarter of a century,
in which a large amount Of govern
ment land was disposed of through
that office, and within a short time it
will be consolidated with the Pierre
district. The report Of that office to
the state auditor shows 313 final
proofs for the past year, Of which
more than 200 were in the southern
part of Hand and Hyde counties,
where the Crow Creek reservation
country was filed upon about two
years ago, and the last rush of
proofs" have gone in. The others
were scattered over a large extent Of
country, only a few in each of the
other counties of the district. The
largest additions to taxable real estate
through final proofs will probably be
shown in the Chamberlain district,
with the Pierre district second.

canvas covered court OF the ST Nicholas Rink

ease when once Miss Iseln had her brilliant
placing and driving game in order. They won
at Sc, 81, and will meet the Misses Green of
Philadelphia, to-day for the title and trophies
The opening of the tournament attracted n
thoroughly representative gathering and the
playing of the women called forth merited ap-
plause. The rink was decorated with flags and
lanterns, presenting the aspect of garden with
the grass green of the canvas playing surface
ing of tea ana toast and cakes To those as
sembled in the balcony boxes. 1t was from this
perch of vantage that Miss Juliet Adee of the
Westchester Country Club, acted as referee and
scorer.
The singles matches were the first nut on the
courts. With surprising rapidity Miss Scott OF
New York, played swift passes through Miss
Fenno's court. The BOstonian never fairly
settled TO her usual game so that Miss scott
ger-Wallach won closer match with Miss
Phyllis Green.
Miss Phyllis Green and Miss Marjory Green
played a splendid game in the doubles. They
outplayed Miss Scott and Miss Coster at every
point and the New Workers were left setless.

annually to encourage the Oarsmen and TO help
defray the expenses OF those who come from
a distance to compete and that New York Is the
only city that, so far. has not so encouraged as
Oarsmen.
