Haymarket, and had taken part in
many notable tennis matches both in
this country and in America. The last
match he played and won was a handi.
cap at Manchester in October, 1892, in
which he had to meet some OF the
best professional opponents OF the
game. On this occasion his son, AL.

Sheen Lodge, Richmond Park, and
who has played with the king there.

JUSTICE HAD LONG MEMORY
The Late David Brewer Said to Have
Recalled Tragic Incident Of
Thirty-Five Years Ago.

Many years ago the late Justice
Brewer of the Supreme court was a
county judge in frontier Kansas
-raVeiing one day in a stage coach.
he met young man who, accom-.
panied by his wife and red-h AIDED
tWo-year-old boy, was just moving 20
the state. The Judge became ac.
quainted with the father and mother
and insisted-for the austere Judge OF
later years was in those days a mighty
good politician-that that boy was a
nne chap, who would surely make his
mark In the world. The proud parents
oeamed appreciation, and the Judge
reached for the infant and took him
on his lap. Instantly there was in
surrection. The prodigy did not pro-
pose to be jollied by an old chap out
looking for votes. He kicked the
Judge viciously, and finally, reaching
out a very determined little paw,
scratched off three burrows of skin,
and there was great concern and a
very small trifle of real bloodshed.
Thirty-odd years passed, and one
night at White House reception
Judge Brewer walked up to a young
man and asked:
