Prof c. @. Paul, the trainer of the IA
nous flea circus, now exhibiting on the

jumping about the table at the command
of his trainer he jumped upon the shout

and bearing marks of refinement.
In spite of all the whistlings and cajol-

from the 80 mark. The victory OF a
team receiving almost the limit handi-
cap will tend to encourage the poorer
players, who, as a rule. cut little figure
even in handicap events.
1t can hardly be said that the tourna-

day by narrow margins Especially

the handicap. which was unusually
large. was nevertheless about right
was proved by the eloseness of the two
sets played In the first set Whitney
and Adams led at 5-3 and it looked as IL
they would win. The first class men
fell down, however, and lost seven games
in row. Pearson and Sparrow ran out
the first set rs and took the first three

which proved just enough to enable
them to emerge victorious from close

match went only four sets. it was closer
