LazCn Tennis Tourney.

Boston July 27-Fffty-tvo matches were played
in the eighteenth annual lawn tennis tournament
the courts of the Longwood Cricket Club ,at
BrookIine to-day. completing all the matches Of
the first two rounds and four in the third. With
one exception the favorites came through safely
That exception c. B. Doyle, OF Washing
ton. who was defeated in the third round by e.
F. Touchard the young player from New York
As Doyle recently won the Delaware State tourna-
ment, beating such men as w j Clothier ana II
Mollenhauer. his defeat came as a surprise
What promised to be the best match Of the after
noon. between BeaIs c. Wright. a former national
champion and R. C. Seaver the present Massa-
chusetts State champion. proved to be a walkover
for Wright At no time Seaver in the running
The 1atters game is essentially back-court game
and as Wright is particularly keen at the net he
held seaver safe throughout
