Eight years later the English National Lawn
Tennis association was formed. Ever since then
1t has been the governing body for England and
the surrounding countries, in which the game
has since spread The courts OF all countries
have the same dimensions. The following Is the
official description of the American court: The
court is rs feet long and 27 feet wide. 1t is d
vided the middle by a net the ends OF
which are attached to two posts, standing three
feet outside of the court on either SIDE The
height of the net is three feet six inches at the
post and three feet in the middle half way be-
tween the side lines and parallel with them Is
drawn the court line, dividing the space on each
side of the net into two equal parts, the right
and left courts. On each side of the net at
distance of 81 feet from it drawn the service
lines Two kinds of game played, singles
and doubles" two partners on each side. The
choice of sides of the court and the right to
serve first are decided by the toss of n COIN The
players stand on opposite sides Of the net the
player who first delivers the ball being called the
and ihe other the striker-out. At the end
of the first game the striker-out becomes the
server, and alternately. The server dev-,
ers the ball, or service, from the right to the
left courts. 1t must drop between the service
line, half court line and side line of the court,
diagonally opposite to that which is being
served.
The system of scoring is framed on basis
of Is for each stroke won; but the third sIroke
is called 40 instead Of As. If both players win
three strokes the score is called deuce" instead
of forty ALL" The winner of the next stroke
scores advantage" and If he also scores the fol-
lowing stroke, he wins the game. II the stroke
falls to the opposite side the score goes back to
deuce" Similarly the player who first s&1res
six games wins the set, unless both should have
won five, when player must win two consecu-
tive games to score the set II he falls to do this
the score is once more called games all,' and
the same conditions prevail at every set. The
players change sides at the end Of every set

Professional Eaters

Many striking customs of their past still
preserved by the Indians of the northwest, and
of these none is more interesting than peculiar
practise yet followed by the Sioux of the Devils
Lake reservation.
1t appears, competent authority, that from
time immemorial these Sioux have adhered to
an etiquette whereby 1t Is the bounden duty OF
the host to supply his guest with all the food he
mOy desire, and as a rule the apportionment set
before the visiting Indian is in excess of the ca
pacity Of single man.
On the other hand, by the same custom the
guest is Obliged to eat all that Is placed before
him, else he grossly insults his entertainer. Now,
it was found that this practise would work g
hardship, but instead of dispensing with the Gus
tom the Indian method of reasoning was applied
and what is known as the professional eater was
brought to the front.
While the guest is supposed to eat all that is
placed before him, 1t serves the same purpose
If his neighbor assists in devouring the bounti-
ful repast, the main object being to have the
plate clean when the meal shall be finished.
It is not always practicable to depend upon
a neighbor at table to assist in getting away with
large dinner, and in order to insure the final
consumption of the allotted portion visiting Indi.
ans call upon these professional eaters, whose
duty it is to sit beside them through meal and
eat what the guest eats.
The professional eaters are never looked upon
in the light of guests but more as travelling com
panions with particular duty to perform
These eaters receive from 81 to SO and even
SO for each meal where they assist It is stated
that one of the professional eaters was known
