classes, one to consist of clubs composed of
students in universities and colleges. the

FINE RALLY BY
AMERICAN AT TENNIS

LONDON, April 1S.-D. P. Rhodes of the
Longwood Club of Boston covered himself
with glory yesterday in the covered court
lawn tennis championship tournament at
the Queens Club in a brilliant five set
match. He defeated A. w. Gore, the for
mer British champion. The score, in favor
OF Mr.. Rhodes, was 4-6, 60, 60, 1-6,
CT
1t was quite an unexpected result and
caused a great sensation, but those who
had watched the many fine performances
of the Bostonian on the Riviera and in
Paris, when he took the set from A. w.
Wilding, fully realized the strong attacking
qualities of the winner.
Mr.. Rhodes Won the second and third
sets almost he liked, volleying back
the wrist returns of Mr.. Gore with mar
velous deXterity and cunning. His serv-
ice. too was always strategically placed.
In the final set the Englishman led by
Al. and seemed to be on the road to vic
tory but Mr.. Rhodes stuck gamely to his
great adversary and gradually wore him
down, winning FIVE games In succession.
Mr.. Rhodes has now reached the semi
final, where he opposes Mr.. Wilding, the
famous New Zealandcr.

their six-round fight at the National A. c.
here last night. The bout was one Of the
most disappointing that has been held In
this city for some time. The champion did
not show any Of his usual brilliancy in
avoiding punishment, and 1t was only at
long range fighting that he was able to
beat O'Toole. When 1t came to mixing
and inf1ghting the Quaker lad held his own.
At the end O'Toole was bleeding from the
mouth and nose, but Attell was practically
without mark. There were no knock
downs scored by either fighter. Abe was
forced to do the leading and OToole waited
to counter.
O'Toole was the first to enter the ring and
he was seconded by Jimmy Dwyer, AL
Grander and Johnny Smith. Attell fol-
lowed him a minute later. He was looked
after by Al Lippe and Willie Fitzgerald:
Jack McGugan, the referee, announced
that the fighters had weighed in at 122
pounds. the featherweight limit. at noon.
Attell received $1,000 for his exhibition.

Scow Turned Turtle.

The tug Marion Cameron spent several
hours on the river below this city yesterday
afternoon endeavoring to place right side
up an overturned scow belonging to the
Potomac Dredging Company of this city.
The scow, 1t is stated, overturned in the
eastern branch and dumped a large load
of gravel into the bottom of the waterway.
The accident is said TO have been caused
by the scow hanging up on the edge of the
channel bank, which caused her TO careen
and then to turn turtle Fortunately there
was no one on the scow when she turned
over, so no harm was done beyond the
losing of the material on the overturned
vessel 1t is stated that the Cameron final

side up and took her down the river to be
pumped out and made ready for service.

LEATHER TO BE IN FASHION.
Popular Not Only for Outdoor Dress, but
for Articles of Ornament.

The use of cloth trimmed with leather
for costumes for outdoor games and the
like which prevailed last year in Europe
is giving way this year, it is reported. to
leather trimmed with cloth. One par
ticularly favored garment is a golf cape
of red leather trimmed with black braid
and worn with red leather fiat topped
cap, fastened on with hatpins headed
with leather knots.
Leather automobile rigs are popular
for both men and women. The women
wear them trimmed and lined with fur.
The men besides the coats wear bright
colored leather waistcoats.
A leather band is the smartest trim
ming for a soft felt hat; it should be
fastened with leather covered buckle.
Leather is also used for applique work.
Blossoms and leaves are cut out of col
ored hides and sewed down on satin or
stiff canvas.
The skins are very thin. soft and fine
and can be easily worked. The leather
can be cOlored in detail by pastel pro-
cess.
Beautiful fans, handkerchiefs and hand
bags are made out of hand-panted leatb-
err. The embroidery of these articles is
often very elaborate and beautiful.
On background of sky blue. for in
stance, lunches of pansies made of
leaves painted by nand are fastened.
In the heart of each flower there is an
amethyst.
Another design is of pale rose leather
embroidered with a cobweb of silver and
dotted over with coral.-New York Sun.

TOY EMPIRE FOR SALE.
Lundy Island in the Bristol Channel al
Auction-Bids Too Low.

An attempt was made lately to sell
by auction in London what was de-
scribed in the prospectuses as the
smallest empire on the face of the
earth" 1t is Lundy Island. a speck in
the Bristol Channel which belongs to
the Rev. H. c. Huevon, whose father
bought it in 1886 and left it to him.
"A little empire for a little emperor. "
exclaimed the auctiOneer, as ne started
to describe the beauties of the island,
which includes 1046 acres, with hill and
dale wood and water and a feasible
landing place in fair weather.
No tax gatherer comes there; the hum
of the factory is unheard and the auto
mobile peril is entirely absent. As the
climate is peculiarly healthful and the
air always fresh, it was suggested that
the island would be an ideal site for a
sanitarium.
Notwithstanding these attractions. the
highest bid made for the island was
E16,500; about $S2,500, and this did not
meet the owners idea of the value of the
property. The sale was called off and
Mr.. Huevon decided to remain a little
emperor himself little longer.

Middle Aged Marriages.

The marrying age is steadily receding
and it is quite within the range Of
probability that Al will be regarded IN
the future as the equivalent of the pres
ent q.
This is partly due to the keenness Of
the struggle for existence; man de-
sires to attain a position before marry
ing, and he finds the years slipping bv
with disturbing rapidly while he il
climbing the ladder.
Both men and women, too, fear that
they may be deceived and may enter
into partnership with one who will turn
out to be undesirable.
So they will spend the earlier years
and then the glamour of this single Iife
will wear off. They will have gained ey
perience enough to enable them to Judge
character with fair accuracy. and then
will thus be less fearful of being taken
in"
They will feel that after all, it is bet.
ter to settle down with a partner. And
then marriage will come in middle aye
The love making will not be the samg
but it may well be more solid FIRE

Tell Tale Hair.

The color and texture of the hair are
never a reliable indication of character
but in about nine cases out of ten the
following association of certain tempera-
ments with certain kinds of hair will be
found to be correct.
An authenticated person is Of a kind
~, sympathetic nature.
People with curly hair are generally
speaking, improyident, thOughtless and
somewhat selfish.
Red hair is more strongly character
istic than hair of any other color There
is an old impression that red-haired peo'
pie are mostly bad tempered but that is
utterly wrong. They are almost invari-
ably of sunny dispositions, very consld-
crate of others and of more than aver
age intelligence.
Beautiful golden hair is rarely zen
on persons of coarse nature; nellLer
is fine brown hair. The owner OF either
kind will nearly always be found TO De
a very keen lover of fine arts, but Of a
rather irritable disposition.
