Had all of the judges of the election,

First and Second Ward Disputed Votes
Have Been Examined by the
Members Of the City
Council.
A HARMONIOUS MEETING
Third Nights Session Of the Contest
Board Adjourned to Meet
Again This Evening
at 1880.


Everything ran along smoothly last
evening in the session of the city
council sitting as a tribunal to hear
the election contest. The disputed bal
lots were produced and those from
the first and second wards were pass
ed around among the aldermen, the OBJ
jections to each one being stated by
the attorneys and record made of
them.
When the ballots were first investi-
gated there were 268 which were dis
puted, 124 for Sterne and 145 for OFF,
but last evening the attorneys on both
sides waived a number of these, so
that the total of disputed ballots will
fall short of 269 before the investiga-
tion is finished
The method being employed is for
Mr.. Miller to take up the ballots which
he has objected to and stating his OBJ
jections to each one. These ballots
are then passed to the aldermen. Mr..
Craig then takes the ones which he
has disputed, gives his objections and
passes them to the aldermen.
The ballots are looked at by each
alderman and then the next ward is
taken up. Each ballot is marked by
the short hand reporter as an exhibit
| in the case.

Details Of Meeting.

All aldermen were present last
evening when the meeting was called
to order by Mayor pro tenn Brown, but
the audience had thinned out consid-
erably and there were but few specta-
tors present.
The tin box containing the ballots
was brought in and Mr.. Moore was
asked number of questions regard
ing its lock. He said that it was pos
sible for the knot in the string to be
united and the box unlocked and open
ed without the seal being broken. He
said that it had not been unlocked
since he sealed it.
The box was opened and the report
of Blood and Henneman was taken out
and identified by Mr.. Henneman who
was present and who read the totals.
1t was agreed that the undisputed
ballots should not be taken out and
the disputed ones for the first ward
were then produced and taken from
the envelopes by the clerk.
Mr.. Craig filed objections to the pro-
ducing of the ballots.
The ballots we're taken out and Mr..
Miller took the fifteen from the first
wards which he had protested, read
the protests and the bunch was started
around. He withdrew five of them.
Mr.. Craig then took his buncl of
thirteen ballots and withdrew five OF
them, stating his objections to eight
and passing them around.

lawn tennis in the first set. On either side OF the
net the work OF the pairs was calculated to battle
and puzzle any but the most experienced players.
That tantalizng stroke, the high lobb, played
important part In this set. for It used both
extensively and defensvely in the cleverest manner
by the Wrenn brothers.
The lohbng tactics did not in any way detract
from the game or its speed. Rather did they cause

IN the second set the Wrenn brothers endeavored
to work out their victory from deep court. In this
they were unsuccessful Both Hackett and Little
followed their return drives and slashed the ball
off to the sides for crossing shots that left the
wrenns no opportunity for return. At the end OF
the match the internat!onalists were both out
