lage, with the houses constructed OF hewn
planks. There were gardens inclosed behind
and at the sides with other rough hewn planks
These fences were stockades that served as
a protection against sudden attacks and the
crude defenses thus arranged were reinforced
by three heavy wooden gates at the ends OF
the streets, In the center, on cross street,
this was square Enclosure, upon which four
cannon were mounted, so as to flank along the
streets, On surrounding hilltop they had
large square house, with a fiat roof. This
structure was made of the customary thick
plankS of rough hewn timbers, like the mas
siye American log houses of later times, The
planks were stayed or braced with oak beams
upon the top of which they had six cannon
which shot iron balls of -four or five pounds and
had n commanding sweep of the surrounding
country. The lower part of this building was
used for a church, in which religious services
were held on Sundays and the usual holidays.
The pilgrims were called to the services in
this church with beat of drum and each man

crowd" namely the people who, after
collecting a few odd five-franc pieces,
come to Monte Carlo expecting to gain
a fortune, and he never failed to vent
his sarcasm upon them.
The words he had uttered were, how
ere, puzzling. l kept my ears open in the
hope of something further, but the old
fellow maintained a discreet silence.
His companion laughed, and when l
gave a furtive glance in their Girec-
ton I saw that the man sitting oppo-
site him was an ugly hunohback.
Would a very large capital be re-
quired?" the hunchback inquired, in
a tone of affected carelessness.
Il don't think so. Fifty thousand
francs, the sum you mention, would
be quite sufficient" the old man re-
sponded. But, of course, there's a
risk-a terrible risk. A single blum
der would be disastrous.

morning, and while waiting discov-
cred the hunchback there. He spoke
enthusiastically of the beauties of the
principality, the attractions of the
play, the excellence of the music, and,
as far as l could judge, was highly
educated and refined man. No, he had
not lost yesterday. He had won two
zeros at roulette, stalking a louis each
time.

Foley May Capture
Tennis Trophy
By Grant Smith

The handicap singles tennis tourna-
ment begun in the Golden Gate park
courts last Sunday will be completed
handicap singles events for three
time cup put up by the directors. The
first competition was won by Paul
Hardeman and the second by Manuel
Mclaughlin. The latter did not enter
the tournament now in progress and
Hardeman was put out last Sunday. 1t
is therefore a certainty a new name
will be inscribed on the trophy at the
completion of this tournament
As most of the best players went to
Santa Barbara during the week the
lesser lights took advantage Of their
absence and a heavy entry list resulted.
No less than 40 players started in the
competition, but only IL were left
after the first days play
Charles Foley, the most heavily
handicapped player, won his matches
despite a heavy impost He is playing g
from 40 below scratch, and as he has
been showing symptoms of return to
his old form the handicap men will
have a hard time beating him despite
the big odds. Foley's game is well
suited to handicap conditions, and it
would not occasion much surprise If
his name were the third to appear upon
the cup.
The following matches will be played
this morning: Marcus $50 VS.. Cam
eron Us 3-6); Perkins (15 $50 VS..
Getz Cove 80 3-6); Strachan (3-6) VS..
Foley (owe 400; Maggie 900 VS..
Schwarz (3-6). Ambrose will meet the
winner of the match between Perkins
and Getz in the second round.
The chief topic of conversation
among the local fans since the depar-
,f( ho,-
the remarkable showing made by young
Robert Strachan in the tournaments at
Santa Barbara. When he left the city
last Wednesday it was thought he
would enter the junior event only as
his chances in the senior tournament
were hardly thought good enough to
warrant his entering. To the surprise
of all he disposed of such cracks as
Carl Gardner and Simpson Sinsabaugh
handily. Strachan is only Is years of
age and his performance is little short
of marvellous. He bids fair to outdo
Coast Champion Maurice Mclaughlin,
who. like Strachan, is a member of the
Golden Gate junior club.
Strachan graduated from grammar
school last year when he donned his
first pair of long trousers. He met the
best players on the coast in the tourna-
ment last week and to say that he held
won the junior championship of the
coast at Del Monte last SeptembeEs but
up TO two weeks ago, when he won a
set from Champion Mclaughlin in the
state championship tournament, he had
done nothing to lead any one to believe
that he classed with the best players
on the coast. We have developed some
tennis champions at an early age in
this part of the country but this
youngster bids far to outdo them ALL
Another surprise in the Santa Bar
bara tournament was the defeat of
Maurice Mclaughlin at the hands of
George James. Mclaughlin has beaten
James so often and with such ease that
ii is difficult to figure out how the
champion could have lost. This is Nc
