Eight years later the English National Lawn

It has been the governing body for England ana
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 vide IL Is dl

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 1t are drawn the service
lines. Two kinds of game are 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 a coin The
players stand on opposite sides Of the net the
player who first delivers the ball being called the
server and the other the strikerout. AT the end
of the first game the striker-out becomes the
server, and so on alternately. The server deliy-

Professional Eaters

Many striking customs OF their past are stil
preserved by the Indians OF the northwest and
OF these none is more interesting than a peculiar
practise yet followed by the Sioux OF the Devils
Lake reservation.
II appears, on competent authority, that from
time immemorial these Sioux have adhered 10
an etiquette whereby II is the bounden duty OF
the host to supply his guest with all the food ne
may desire, and as rule the apportonment 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,
II was found that this practise would work
hardship, but instead of dispensing with the Gus
tom the Indian method of reasoning was applied
and what is known the professional eater was
brought to the front.
While the guest is supposed to eat all that Is
placed before him, II serves the same purpose
II his neighbor assists In devouring the bounti-
full repast the main object being to have the
plate clean when the meal shall be finished.
II is rot 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 Il is to sit beside them through a meal and
eat what the guest eats
Tho 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 10 50 and even
SO for each meal where they assist It is stated
that one OF the professional eaters was known
TO have disposed OF some seven pounds OF beei
at a sitting.--New York Herald.

Another veteran American player who stands
behlnd Larned In skill and who ranks with him
as anording evidence that youth is not the requi-
site in tennis that 1t is in some other sports Is
Beals wright, former national champion. AS long
ago as 1901 Wright had the national champion
ship almost In his grasp and in 1905 he captured
the coveted title. Lattery he has been in
sense eclpsed by Larned, but is yet splendid
and spectacular player. Only few months ago
Wright went abroad and worsted all the best
players of Europe and Great Britain only meet
ing defeat at the hands of A. F. Wilding, the Aus
Jalian player, and that in a contest that cannot
be regarded as wholly conclusive
For all the splendid achievements, however,
OF the older tennis players experts who are yet
very much In the game. there is ample evidence
that the time is almost at hand when they must
step aside for the group of younger men who
have been forging ahead OF late in lhost deter
mined manner. Oddly enough, almost all OF
these new stars of the tennis armament are west
erners. Very much in the public eye just at pres
ent IL Bundy, the whrlwind player from Cali
fornia, who this year defeated "all comers" and
only met his Waterloo when he faced Larned.
Even at that the outcome might have been df
ferent had the lad from the Golden Gate state not
been exhausted by long series Of contests.
Even more interesting Is the future OF Maurice
z. Mclaughlin, the boy wonder from Califor
MA whom Larned has lately taken up as his pro-
tege and upon whose shoulders 1t Is rumored he
proposes to let fall the mantle OF the champion.
Mclaughlin, who is yet in his teens, is a dash
ing player, with terrific strength behind his
strokes and with deadly serve" that Is calcu-
lated to disconcert any player in the world. II
is now the hope of all American tennis enthusi-
asts that Larned, Wright and Mclaughlin can
be induced to form team that will go to Aus
trala and attempt to recover the Davis cup-the
great International blue ribbon trophy OF the
tennis world--which was won by Australian play
ers some years ago and which neither American
nor English players have ever been able to wrest
from their grasp.

attorneys who attended the session OF

larceny, are the ones making complaint,
The Chinese was arrested on suspicion
of being the man who broke open a
trunk in the house of Japanese
woman and stole therefrom $23.
The Chinese, according to their story,
was taken to Wailuku, questioned and
when he denied his guilt, was locked
up for forty-eight hours in a filthy,
unventilated dark cell and kept there
until he promised to confess everything
if only he were allowed to come out.
He was not allowed to smoke, not al
lowed to see anybody, and not allowed
the ordinary decencies of life. His cell
was vile and filthy and the stencil as
described by the attorneys was hor-
rible.

LOSE SCENT IN
HUNT FOR GRACE
CONTINUED from Page one.l

On the other hand other information
received by the police all points 10 the
man having been In the Nuuauu dis
trict throughout Sunday and Sunday
night. The only new information which
McDunie received yesterday was from
a man who reported having seen man
on the Asylum road at about eleven
Sunday night walking Eva at rapid
gait. McDuilie s informant told a
straightforward story. He said that
he had been drinking but was not
drunk, and that he had known Grace
for five years. He could not state posi-
lively that it was the negro and. it was
too dark to see the clothes, but the
man 3 walk corresponded in every way
to the peculiar walk of Grace. The
man could easily be told by his walk
as he has funny habit of swinging
his arms in curious way as he walks.
That McDuffe is inclined to put
credence in the story is shown by the
fact that in the absence of more def
mite information he and his men pa
trolled the entire Nuuanu district all
/ last night and searched all localities
carefully.
The sheriff is inclined TO believe that
the man slipped through their fingers
Sunday night and got safely to the
Eva side of the city. All the small
clues that were picked up were con-
sistent and seemed to show that the
man was working steadily in one direc-
ton. Jarrett has taken off some of
the police from the regular watches,
and they are searching for the escaped
criminal.
AT one O'Clock this morning the ship
Edward Sewall was carefully searched
by the police as precautionary meas
ure as she sails this morning early.
High Sheriff Henry is spending all his
time in the search and yesterday went
over about the same ground as the
county police.
