NEW HAvENER WINS

Boston, Aug. ga light drizzle kept
the attendance down at the morning
play for the Longwood cup and the
Eastern doubles title at the Longwood
cricket club to-day, but about the mid
die of the afternoon the sun came out
and several matches Of the kind that
has made this tennis event famous
were played off. 1t was the first day
of play for the doubles teams, and the
presence of several crack pairs aroused
much interest.
Easily the event of the day was the
match between the Whitman Brothers
and the Johnson Brothers. The match
commenced at 4 o'clock and when
darkness prevented further play three
hours later both pairs had two sets to
their credit, 1t was a lobbing match
from start ito finish with the Johnson
pair directing their entire attack at H..
H. Whitman
The other important doubles match
was that between Larned and Clothier
and Ware and Hallowell The latter
pair are not considered in the same
class with Larned and Clothier, but
they won the first set, and ran the
fourth and last to deuce
Wright and Little, the other promin-
emit pair, came through the first round
easily, defeating Jackson and Read,
and now have but one more match to
play before landing in the semi-1nals,
Grant and Westfall of New York, had
to exert themselves to win over Tallant
and Torrance of the same city
There were no upsets in the singles,
except perhaps the defeat of Nat
Thornton of Atlanta, Ga, who lost to
N. p. Hallowell, jr, of B oston, be-
cause of lame foot.
w, c. Grant of New York, defeated
w. r. johnson of Philadelphia, only af-
ter he had solved wicked chop stroke
which Johnson used to good advant-
age. r. G. Seaver, the Massachusetts
champion and H. A. Mackinney played
the spectacular match Of the day.
Seaver covered a great deal of ground
and some of the aces he scored while
off his balance We're nothing short of
marvellous. He defeated MacKinney In
three out of four.
