Touchard a stsyer-News From the Old
World.

The season is Young vet Of course, but
30 far as 1t has gone the individual honors
belong TO Gustave F. Touchard Of the Bed
ford Park Lawn Tennis Club. This young
player. for he is only 81, has played
IN Ave tournaments, his star achieve
ment being the Felipe cup in the
New York Lawn Tennis Club tourney.
incidentally he has defeated Harold H.
Hackett. Theodore R. Pell. Wylie c. Grant
and others. Nearly all Of his success he can
attribute this year. to his ability TO stay for
he has shown that he can be as spry on his
pins after four sets as after two. The other
players in their matches against him stayed
we'll too. but Touchard was always a trihe
more aggressive TO the very last stroke
He has another strong point too. and that
is A singing forehand smash with his
racquet which sends the ball across the net
with singing speed. He has, not the fine
free backhand swing OF Pell or the keen
calculation for length exhibited.by Hnckett.
but these liabilities are more than counter
balanced by his wiry action and watchtul-
ness "Touchard will be a hard nut TO era ok

Frown on Popular Border Money.

Ottawa, Ont, July 20.-The Canadi.

gin Immediately the collection and de-
portation of all American silver coins.
1t is said that fully 40 per cent of
the silver money in circulation in the
western provinces of Canada is Amer
lean coin. The bankers have been
complaining for some time of the pref.
erence for American money and final.
ly, it is said, have brought sufficient
pressure to bear upon the finance com.
mittee to produce concerted action
All along the border the interchange
OF Canadian and American money has
been common, no distinction being
made. The people generally do not
favor the move, and 1t is Anticipated
that there will be much confusion in
all the border cities.

Damage to Machine.

Calais. July 20.-Herbert Latham
the French aviator, made daring but
unsuccessful attempt to cross the Eng
lish channel in his monoplane. He
got away splendidly under perfect
conditions from the top of the chalk
cliff at Sangatte and had covered
more than half the distance at an &C
erage height of so feet when the
motor slowed down and he was
obliged to descend.
The air spaces of the wings, how
ever, kept the machine afloat, and the
monoplane, lying like a wounded bird
was stretched out on the water
when the French torpedoboat destroy
er Harpon, which had kept abreast
throughout the journey, came along
side and picked up the aviator.
NJ. Latham was not wet, and sti1l
sat on the saddle, which is located
above the wings and behind the mo.
tor He was calmly smoking a Gig.
aret. He Immediately announced that
he was not discouraged by the failure
and would try again as soon as the
machine was repaired.
The injuries to the monoplane were
slight, the principal damage being
caused when it was hauled aboard
the torpedoboat destroyer. The mo.
tor is intact
OrviIIe Breaks His Record.
Washington, July 20. - Showing
more confidence in himself than he
has exhibited this season, Orville
Wright made the most successful
flights of the year in the Wright aero.
plane at Fort Myer.
The first flight lasted 25 minutes
and 18 seconds, during which time the
aviator circled the parade grounds. a
distance of about five-sixths of a
mile, 2511 times. The second, which
continued until darkness prevented
Mr.. Wright from remaining longer in
the air, was for half an hours dura.
tion and 29h circuits were made.
During both of the trials the ma.
chine behaved splendidly and indica-
tions are that the Wrights soon will
have the aerOplane in condition for
the official flights. During the IS min
utes the flyer was in the air last ev.
ening. it covered approximately 81
miles. Wilbur Wright. who carefully
watched every movement of the ma.
chine. declared afterward that it had
attained speed of about Al miles an
hour. He said it had reached a height
of $50 feet.

the place of the strikers there. but if
the strikers find it necessary to resort
to violence you should 60 and help
them. You can put the fear of God in

nothing by their appeals to the corpo-
rations.
